      I used to have a problem with a ´one party state´ until I got into communism. While it’s important to have things like Unions present in the government, I see no big problems with a one party state in a communist country. It actually makes more sense than six or seven (or twenty in my home country) parties. If the one party represents the people, what should the other ones do in order to be different?

        On china they resolved that problem, the other parties on the country besides the CPC (that are supposed to represent the other classes in the country besides the ploretarian) have the right to participate, but in the end they aways need the permition of the CPC to do anything.

      Which, he isn’t even. They repealed an age limit for the presidency under Xi. That’s it. Considering how much the US likes electing old geezers who can barely take a shit on their own, not sure if they have the right to criticize it. Xi is younger than 90% of US politicians, and grew up as a worker, as opposed to being a spoiled man child from an excessively rich family.

      But you know who do serve for life and are never democratically voted in? The US Supreme Court. And they’re about to overturn abortion despite the majority of US citizens supporting it. 🤔
