Why are dictatorships obssessed with calling themselves republics? Why isnt there a cool, hip name for dictatorship?

>Weimar republic
>Dictatorship
Next time you gonna say that the french republic is an totalitarien hellhole.
Also republic is everything that isn't monarchy or theocracy.

Go back to Katawa Shitjou, weeb

Iran is a theocratic republic.

Daily reminder Rin is the best girl

The Frogs still had kings and queens when we Americans started our federal democratic republic.

>weimar
I don't get the joke

Except Tsarist Russia lmao

Republic is just a generic term for a state that isn't a monarchy or other form of autocracy really. It's not like there's any special mystique about being a republic. Rome called itself a republic for centuries even as its effective government radically changed over that period of time. Venice called itself a republic for like 900 years despite being ruled by oligarchical aristocratic families.

republic is a representative democracy, not a "everything that isn't a monarch or theocracy"

i don't want people just throwing that word around like it's meaningless.

How was the Weimar Republic not a representative democracy?

Don't get much cooler than that

There is probably a penis underneath that skirt, but I would jackhammer the fuck out of that creature either way.

"Despotate" has a fair ring to it

Epirus during Byzantium's 13th century exile was a Despotate

Explain to me in detail how the Weimar republic was a dictatorship

They dictated how people could live their lives

And without the support of the french kings and queens, americans would still be under the british thumb.

Because people are memed that THE CURRENT YEAR = Democratic Republic.

Just as how people are memed that THE CURRENT YEAR = their country ought to be called a nation-state. When in reality it isnt.

Are dictators monarchs? No. What's wrong with republic then?

SHUT YOUR MOUTH

funnier it gets when people whiny about that from countries ruled by companies and corporations
