oh and there's also the fact that they called themselves socialists?

Irrelevant. 

North Korea calls itself the Democratic People's Republic of Korea.
China calls itself the People's Republic of China.
East Germany was called the Democratic Republic of Germany.
Cuba is called the Republic of Cuba.

Just because they call themselves something, doesn't mean they are.

lmao it still amazes me that people do not understand that democracy often leads to tyranny

tell me something if the people of a society are stupid and vote away their rights collectively,

for example, the right to free speech, the right to protect themselves, the right to associate in groups etc etc etc

what would that result in?

 

"Just because they call themselves something, doesn't mean they are."

correct, but if someone calls themselves something and their actions or policies align with their stated title then i'd have to be pretty stupid to not acknowledge that right?
