Liberal "Political science"

One big issue I have with Wikipedia is the liberal framing of political issues. Their country infobox also has a "government type" label which they often use liberal terms for such as "constitutional monarchy", "dominant-party semi-presidential", "one-party", "theocratic", "unitary", etc... Since we are Marxists and we have Marxist political theory, I would question which of these terms are relevant for the scope of the articles that they are covering. For example is whether a country is "unitary" or "bicameral" actually relevant to our articles? Is the number of political parties relevant? I also wonder why the name of the figure-head of the country is relevant. If a country has a president, a prime minister, a premier, a supreme leader, is any of that totally relevant? I think it is more relevant to state things such as "federal", "parliament", "senate", "republic / monarchy", and political theory such as "people's republic", "Marxist-Leninist", "Jamahiriya", "Juche", etc... *Comrade Spookfessor (talk) 06:17, 16 June 2021 (UTC)
