Ah yes, gotta lick those authoritarian dictator boots. So cool, so cool.
Just as a heads up, we don't like horseshoe theory here, which "authoritarian" falls under. Please refrain from horseshoe theory posting.
Also, factually, China isn't a dictatorship. They follow a proletarian democratic model that is significantly distinct from bourgeois democratic models.
Oh please, you can't just decide that a term falls under a theory you disagree with and then disregard it out of hand.
The term "authoritarian" might be used in horseshoe theory but it is not defined by horseshoe theory. The term has its own meaning independent of horseshoe theory.
You're just playing Calvinball to redefine and then exclude words you don't like.
Hey, you don't have to agree, you just have to follow the rules of the community.
