In my book the US stopped being a democracy in the 1930ies. It's a "fascist" system in constant war since then. The modern term would be cooperatist. Even moderate political scientists rank the US below the democracy line. And calling Australia a liberal democracy is also a stretch. Independence of the 3 government powers plus press and education would be needed for a modern democracy. Looks like a CIA puff piece.
