Article is biased
[edit]This article is biased toward left wing politics. Fix. Make it neutral. 2600:100F:B1B4:1FA8:0:1E:C2E1:9C01 (talk) 05:50, 10 February 2024 (UTC)
- @2600:100F:B1B4:1FA8:0:1E:C2E1:9C01 super agree with this, it didn't list a single Communist state as an example of a police state but instead chose Cuba before Castro holy 2001:569:5991:8200:7A9E:C18A:B8AF:128 (talk) 05:21, 14 August 2024 (UTC)
- @2001:569:5991:8200:7A9E:C18A:B8AF:128 sorry I should say it does list but the part about the ussr is two sentences and it says that the police state ended after Batista with the establishment of Marxist leninism 2001:569:5991:8200:7A9E:C18A:B8AF:128 (talk) 05:31, 14 August 2024 (UTC)
- Do you have reliable sources that describe a Communist state not listed here as a police state? If you list them here, maybe they could be added. 24.11.203.127 (talk) 15:51, 29 September 2025 (UTC)
Liberal Bias
[edit]None of the United States "since Trump was elected in 2024" information is attributed and should be removed unless a source is provided. This isn't reddit. 2600:8805:430D:C000:1760:9F64:A446:5898 (talk) 02:12, 26 August 2025 (UTC)
- It is cited to this New York Times article. This article explicitly calls the US a police state. Keep in mind that "police state" is not an academic term, so discussions about its use are going to rely on non-academic reliable sources like news organizations. 24.11.203.127 (talk) 15:47, 29 September 2025 (UTC)
