Indeed. It only makes sense if Taiwan is a separate country from the PRC.

All these petty actions do is prove that Taiwan is a distinct country.

Billionaires join the CPC for THEIR benefit, clout and image.

Yeah that’s how it works in a fascist system. The wealthy join the ruling party and gain connections to other wealthy people so they can all become wealthier.

The existence of billionaires in China indicates that China is not communist. If it were communist the wealth of the billionaires would be seized and redistributed to the people. China is a country where billionaires are legal and labour unions are illegal.

And your obsession with executions is indicative devaluing life. And it’s interesting that you buy into the conspiracy that Epstein was killed to silence him but haven’t considered the possibility that executions happen in China for the same reason.

If there was a snap election todaty in China with 100% voter turnout, the Communist Party would be re-elected tonight.

Then why isn’t there an election? Why aren’t opposition parties allowed in China? If the CCP would easily win an election, why not have them?

It’s because China is fascist. I think you’re confusing fascism with corporatism. They’re not at all the same. in fascism there’s a hierachy and corporations benefit by falling in line with the hierarchy. Winnie Xi Pooh (who shouldn’t even be leader, but pesky rules bout term limits don’t apply to autocrats) is at the top. Questioning his authority gets you executed. The leadership of China is most certainly misogynistic. The propaganda in China is all about century of humiliation kind of things. China is anti-democracy. These are all the properties of a fascist system.

And yeah fascists will lie about being left wing. See “National Socialism”.

Cancel culture is just changing the channel when there’s someone on your TV screen that you don’t like.

You want go clockwork orange and strap people down, tape their eyes open and force them to watch the things you want them to watch? Because that would ensure the freedom of the people on TV to say whatever they want, right? The freedom of Hollywood assholes are more important that our freedom to change the channel, amirite?

Damn, you figured out that I’m part of a super secret intelligence agency.

Now I’ll have to go to the safehouse, get plastic surgery to change my appearance, dye my hair, burn off my finger prints, get new passports.

Again! How does this keep happening?

Authoritarian and anti-democracy, characterized by misogyny, propaganda about past grievances.

China ticks all the boxes. It’s definitely not communist anymore because billionaires exist there.

How is it racism to say Chinese people are great people?

It’s just their government sucks. They deserve better.

Scanning Umberto Eco’s 14 points, China ticks most of them.

It’s certainly not communist else they would be redistributing the wealth of the billionaires, not welcoming them into the ruling party.

Authoritarian is a useless word.

If you’re living in a place where they will drive over you with a tank if you protest the rulers, you’re living in an authoritarian state. This isn’t exacltly a subtle thing.

Misogyny is a problem everywhere and is in no way unique to fascism or any political economy, is predates capitalism by thousands of years.

I’m not talking about a few weird comments here and there. I’m talking about the ruling class in China raping women and getting away with it because it’s considered ok for the rulers to rape women in their society. Because it’s a fascist society. Communism is supposed to espouse equality between men and women. But China isn’t communist anymore.

Propaganda about past grievances? That is too vague to be meaningful either.

“Century of humiliation! We must allow strongman Xi to rule over us for as long he wants to fight back against the westerners trying to humiliate us!”

This is standard fascist propaganda, fear of outsiders, citing past grievances as a reason for needing a strongman ruler.

In reality it’s the CCP is humiliating the Chinese people. It’s a garbage government. The people of China deserve better.
