who enforces the consulting and the usage of the information gathered from consulting?
The electorate through their votes at the town/city and county levels, participation in unions and other groups like ethnic advocacy groups etc, and participation in the CPPCC, and protests directed over over real issues instead of broad colour revolution tier nonsense, to name a few avenues.
Look at Nordic countries, for instance.
May have moved left at home (if you ignore the rising austerity, racism and general shifting right they are experiencing alongside the rest of Europe) but they are more than happy to join in imperialism and neocolonialism abroad to finance what little compromises remain.
authoritarian
Could you please define this. As it stands authoritarian is the thought terminating cliche of choice for the unintelligent and uneducated to avoid having to investigate and reckon with the questions of substance such as class content of the state, state form, satisfaction of the people with the government etc.

Normally I don’t respond to low level comments like this, but the intellectual laziness here is mind boggling. Dictionaries exist for a reason.

…I really, really hope that you are being deliberately obtuse here in refusing to acknowledge that they are asking what you mean by the term to further the conversation. The other option is that you think there’s some context where asking a person you disagree with for some kind of objective definition makes sense, and that really, really doesn’t speak highly of your reasoning ability. Different people have wildly different understandings of “authoritarian”.
Words have definitions for a reason, and authoritarianism is pretty well defined. And all definitions posted pretty much boil down to the same thing. At this point it’s just sealioning.

uh huh.
“Authoritarianism” is extraordinarily ill-defined.
