    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?

    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?

      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 as communism is meant to be a dictatorship that leads to Utopia.

        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 a democracy.

          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!

    America is virtually a fascist state that crippled itself through capitalism. The Chinese leaders are laughing at America and the G7s decline. It is extremely disrespectful and idiotic of Biden to do this. The USA and the G7 are declining. BRICS, has overtaken them economically.
