    Bullshit. They have flags, bureaucracies and a monopoly on the use of force within their territory. I will not argue semantics with you.

      ISIS also has a flag, bureaucracy and a monopoly on the use of force. Doesn’t make them a country. If you don’t have arguments, you should not start arguing in the first place.

        Actually, I’d say it made them a country, back before they lost all their territory.

        I’m not sure what the exact term we use has to do with the fate of socialist systems anyway, so I won’t reduce myself to arguing about it. If you don’t have anything else, I think we’re done here.
