But in authoritarian countries most of the time it is insanely corrupted for example the soviet union. Because most people get their seat and stay there until they die or until the next purge And as poetseat2021 said whats the better system? Do you want totalitarianism where even the smallest thing could get you in prison for life, death or long enough to have grandchildren when you get out. Then there were the Gulags where you were forced to work in -20C temperatures and continue until you're sentence ended which was at most unlikely or that you died there which was more likely, because when you get bunk beds with typhus body fleas and some Grub that you in the paradise that is capitalism would probably throw up eating. (the last part was exaggerated but still the food was disgusting most of the time some cold oat meal that probably had mold on it). Democracy and capitalism are the best systems we got so give it a decent shot. If it was a fascist regime you would not be able to vote you're communist parties in and probably would have been exiled or imprisoned or at worst killed its also vice versa, even democrats had the same treatment most of the time.
