    I don’t think anyone is pushing modern capitalist Russia, although kleprocratic, imperialist oligarchy describes the US and western liberal democracy at large as much as it does the Russian Federation.

    China though has a better democracy than the US. Calling it a dictatorship is pure western brainworms.

    Edit: Why do you think the US is not a kleptocratic, imperialist oligarchy? And why do you think liberal democracy is more democratic than full process democracy in China?

      | China though has a better democracy than the US.

      Anyone in the US can try to be elected, in China the government chooses who can be elected. Equal representation is a cornerstone of democracy.
