Didn’t he change term limits. The previous two presidents quit after 10 years. But Xi is holding on indefinitely as of now. Doesn’t that make him a dictator even if they claim one party democracy?
Yup, he didn’t just change them, he abolished term limits for himself, which were in effect up until that point since Mao died.
Plus(among many other dictator-y things) he enacted indefinitely retroactive remote treason laws against a separate, sovereign country (hk), so that if you were 12 years old and once wrote on a message board " why Communism?"(Even though China’s capitalist) you can be extradited from Hong Kong to mainland China at any point for the rest of your life and held indefinitely in mainland Chinese prison without appeal.
One party democracy that is meant to be the implementation of the dictatorship of the proletariat over the capitalists, no?
I’m failing to see insult in the message’s content compared to it’s delivery.
communism is defined as classless, stateless, moneyless. the ‘dictatorship of the proletariat’ is meant to imply working class collective ownership and control of the means of production, not a ‘people’s autocrat.’ If you’re paying attention, this means that state-capitalist (a term used by lenin) socialist regimes waving a red flag can not be considered communist, any more than the dprk could be considered democratic.
So it a figurative dictatorship, more of a means to an end. Hence, calling the leader an autocrat - is an insult to the ideology at play.
Thank you for clearing up my misconception!
But, he is, right? Is there some nuance in the definition of “dictator” I missing that gives him some wiggle room? Or is this more like obvious racists and pedophiles being offended at being called racists and pedophiles?
HAHA! Best joke of the year! If only it was a joke…
Fuck the CCP
It is not absurd at all.
How legal is it talk about a certain animated bear over there over this dick getting butt hurt?
Maybe they’re just splitting hairs over the difference between authoritarian dictator and authoritarian figure head appointed by the single party.
My Winnie is not a Communist Dictator. He may be a liar, a pig, an idiot, a Communist Dictator — But he is NOT a porn star!
Christopher Robin calls Pooh a bear and now he’s angry.
Best joke i heard today.
If it looks like a duck, walks like a duck, quacks like a duck…
Still, shouldn’t this be like, the quiet part to not be said out loud in diplomacy circles?
“Ok Winnie”
Here we go again…
Blinken’s face before his jetlag even subsides
theyre right. hes not a spud in the shape of a penis. he a brutal leader who is, or was, engaged in an ethnic cleansing campaign.
Is it tho?
