China has forgiven billions in loans
Also literally read Lenin's definition of imperialism before you start saying bullshit like "taking over assets in another country is imperialism"
We nuke bigotry, we are not willing to make this place unwelcoming for people so right wingers feel more comfy expressing their opinions.
You don't get to be overtly bigoted toward trans people here, sorry! 😭
authoritarian fascist
Please just say fascist, authoritarian has horseshoe theory vibes which we don't allow on this com.
Limited political pluralism, realized with constraints on the legislature, political parties and interest groups.
If you're talking about overton window size, this seems to apply more strongly to bourgeois democracy? The difference between fascist and liberal seems a lot smaller than the range of political opinion you'd find within the CPC or the old CCCP. I would recommend watching some translated videos of normal national assembly meetings in socialist countries
Political legitimacy based upon appeals to emotion and identification of the regime as a necessary evil to combat “easily recognizable societal problems, such as underdevelopment or insurgency”.
Socialist countries base their legitimacy on having more thorough democratic representation than bourgeois democracies. Look up participatory democracy and whole process peoples democracy and compare that to bourgeois theories of democracy. Maybe also look up democratic centralism and the notion of strong vs weak delegates.
Minimal political mobilization, and suppression of anti-regime activities.
There are over 100 million members of the CPC. In Vietnam every couple hundred people have a dedicated party representative that is their designated point of contact with the party. Do you have a designated point of contact for your neighborhood?
Ill-defined executive powers, often vague and shifting, which extends the power of the executive.
Socialist countries, with the exemption of during ww2 when fighting against the nazis, generally have a weaker executive more subject to discipline than capitalist countries.
And when you compare ww2 ussr to ww2 Britain you'll probably see the ussr as more democratic, and that is while 1/6 of their population was being exterminated
Can you post the definition you're citing?
Okay but bow is authoritarian useful? Can you find a definition that applies to Vietnam, Cuba, China, etc, that doesn't also apply to the governments of NATO countries like the US, France, England, etc?
Why would you call them authoritarian when you can just call them fascist?
Hey, please avoiding words like totalitarian and authoritarian. They're often used to make a false equivalence between fascist and socialist projects.
Horseshoe theory is ultimately rooted in holocaust trivialization.
If it is a well known fact you can cite it easily, lmao
Are you referring to "dictatorship of the proletariat"? Because if you read what he wrote, it means "democracy where the former oppressor class is temporarily politically disenfranchised"
It feels like you're playing telephone with yourself while trying to get zingers in
China has better life expectancy than the US when it was a feudal state occupied by Japan 80 years ago, what is your metric for failure lol? China is also leading the renewable push, and has made massive innovations in participatory democracy.
MODHAT calling communist nations fascist serves to enable holocaust trivialization, doing this again will net you a ban.
