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

you could start with the small scale stuff like that measuring tape guy in shenzhen (look it up) or if they aren't convinced by the local level stuff, point to the 1937 soviet consitution or the cuban family code (best examples I know of widescale consultation on national policy)
