he’s a guy who runs a country that is a communist country that is based on a form of government totally different from ours
Now can the ultras shut up once and for all now that they get the confirmation about China being communist from their most trusted source?
😁
As we all know, different things are bad. This logic brought it you by infants and old people.
He’s a dictator in the sense that he’s a guy who runs a country that is a communist country that is based on a form of government totally different from ours
In the authoritarian U.S. regime, they change the meaning of words like “dictator” to mean democratically elected president.Dictatorship is when you don’t copy our great form of government. Because it’s totally democratic when the most powerful man in the world is elected by un-proportional electors that we’re not themselves elected.
I guess he didn’t get what he wanted.
Very plausible
They don’t even know the organizational structure of their biggest competitors.America is doomed
Lol biden is such a clown, must fucking suck for Xi having to meet these 80yo children.
I had this whole witty comment about Dictators being people who don’t have to listen to the majority of their voters, but I don’t believe Joe Biden is a dictator. I just think the entire system is rotten.
To be more precise, US has a dictatorship of the bourgeoisie while China has a dictatorship of the proletariat.
Idk if I’d call socialism with chinese characteristics a dictatorship of the proletariat in the hermenudical marxist sense, buts its a fuckin start. It’s sure as shit 10x better than what we get in the US.
Oh it’s not perfect by any means, but definitely a huge improvement on the horrors of western “democracies”.
And it’s that way because of the US. Just look at what happened to the USSR and other socialist nations, they got absolutely slammed.
At least this way they get to build up power while the cracker industrial complex continues to crumble under its own abuse and neglect.

Throwing that publicly right after a meeting wasn’t even especially polite. Going by the normal diplomacy standard it was actually very rude.

A dictator is a political leader who possesses absolute power. A dictatorship is a state ruled by one dictator or by a small clique.
By that definition you could call the US, or various other countries, dictatorships. However I don’t see how Xi Jinping could not be objectively labelled a dictator.
Direct democracy FTW. Let people vote on any- and every-thing, for better or worse. People will learn and adapt, and if they get a chance to review policy this will be significant. Meanwhile, you cannot sustain any disinformation campaign indefinitely, even if they might be successful for the occassional vote.
there is no such thing as a one-person dictatorship at a large scale; aside from minuscule “countries” like Vatican City, it’s practically impossible for a country to be controlled by a single person, and to imply that China could be ruled by a dictator is laughable
you do understand they vote and elect people in China right
Yes sure, but as I stated it’s possible to successfully run a disinformation campaign to cover an occassional vote. It’s also hard to run an opposition against an incumbent candidate when they will literally have you removed from congress on a whim.
Do you have any evidence of disinformation campaigns being directed by Xi towards political opponents internally within China or are you talking out of your ass
Where did I say that there were disinformation campaigns directed against Xi?
I’ve just said it’s possible to rig elections every so often. Surely that isn’t an objectionable idea to you?
Your motte & bailey malarkey ain’t gonna fly here.
Didnt know that had a name.
Which two arguments am I conflating here?
Well you called Xi a dictator, which is a pretty big claim.
If you can evidence that it would be great, from my understanding China is a democratic centralist country that has popular support from the billion+ people living there.
Biden said he was a dictator. I asked how he was not a dictator.
well how is he a dictator then?
You yourself say that you cannot sustain any disinformation campaign indefinitely, even if they might be successful for the occassional vote. So, using your own logic these hypothetical disinformation campaigns you’re doing hand wringing over don’t actually matter in the grand scheme of things.
You are making a disingenuous argument that ignores the entire point I made.
Disinformation campaigns do matter if you’re only having occasional votes - you can slip through a bad decision every once in a while. If you vote on everything, then it wouldn’t matter, because you’ll have a vote in review where the flawed vote would be corrected.
The only one making disingenuous arguments here is you bud. Your whole argument is based on a completely unfounded supposition that the current system does not end up fairly representing the will of the public. There is no evidence to suggest anything of the sort that I’m aware of.
Meanwhile, the whole idea of direct democracy that you’re peddling here doesn’t scale beyond small communities. Failing to understand why delegation of concerns is a necessary aspect of any complex organization exposes infantile understanding of the subject you’re attempting to debate.

The sheer amount of voting that takes place in China would make you shit your pants.
If I’m not mistaken, the US does not have direct democracy for presidential elections (https://www.usa.gov/electoral-college) nor the lawmaking process (https://www.usa.gov/how-laws-are-made). Unless you’re referring other forms of direct democracy in the US (https://ballotpedia.org/Forms_of_direct_democracy_in_the_American_states) or elsewhere in the world like Russian presidential elections.
As for how China’s president is elected, these two videos basically sum it up:
