How do you argue with someone to explain why Marxism-Leninism is more democratic than western liberal democracy, when they are deeply propagandized to think that only the western democracy is democratic and just and say that rich people are needed to make the economy work etc (all the usual talking points). I am not very good at this, when I say our democracy is not democratic they said I sound insane

I invoke the communes of Venezuela, when you break them down it's clear to anyone that the process is more democratic than electoralism in the west. It's an actionable example because they exist despite the country struggling.

Of course if you're invoking Venezuela to an antisocialist you have a whole other bag of worms to deal with.
