    Says the guy who is regularly simping for the CCP. Your claims of trying to achieve a democratic system have zero credibility.

      China has a far more comprehensive and integrated democratic system than the US does, based on popular councils and mass participation. See Socialism in Power: On the History and Theory of Socialist Governance by professor Roland Boer. This is, in my opinion, a much better democratic system than one that limits the participation of the majority to merely picking between which wing of the capitalist class will dictate how society goes. Do you have an actual argument against this, or do you just have a gut reaction based on vibes?

      Have you actually looked into how socialist countries govern, before? Like, seriously looked at it? And seriously looked at what socialists propose we replace capitalism with?

            I don’t think anything I could post here will pierce the fog of your wilful ignorance so I won’t bother.

              Genuine question, do you think commenting in this manner helps convince people of your own views, or better legitimize mine? I offer an olive branch every single time, and you usually refuse to take it. You aren’t even linking BBC/Wikipedia/etc, you’re just outright refusing. Is it for self-satisfaction, or do you genuinely think this helps convince either myself or onlookers?
