    They think this means “China spooky cuz evil (racist cartoon bear comparison) man is scary and evil!” Because, like the image presents, they have a paper thin understanding of politics. In their brain it is simply deliberate misunderstanding because they’re racist and think long time president = bad and that’s it.

      Should anyone rule for 15 years? Objectively speaking, in your personal utopian vision for a perfect government, checks, balances, etc and so forth?

        Utopian vision for a perfect government

        I didn’t think you understand the people you’re talking to nearly as well as you think

          Yeah, I’m starting to understand the pressures of spamming social media for social credit. It’s a tough gig.

              While we don’t have re-education camps, we yanks do have concentration camps.

              This isn’t bragging, because imo, what ICE does and what the Chinese military does with ethnic clensing is pretty 1-1.

                It’s quite silly how you believe Zenz’ every word about your empire’s designated enemies and expect to be taken seriously.

                It’s pretty obvious at this point that all of the accusations of the PRC conducting ethnic cleansings have no basis in reality, so this already disqualifies their military’s actions from being equatable with ICE’.

        Should anyone rule for 15 years?

        Why not? What’s the difference?

        Objectively speaking, in your personal utopian vision for a perfect government, checks, balances, etc and so forth?

        Have these ‘checks and balances’ been helpful in reining in the most malicious polity in the world? Or have they only served to preserve the status quo?

        If people want someone to keep doing the job they are doing, because they are doing a great job, then yes! Also, as communists, we aren’t utopians. The older socialism of the Owenites and so forth was Utopian in that they focused on creating Utopian models and copying them. Marx brought a scientific approach to socialism.

        Don’t care how long they are as long as they are representing the interests of the proletariat, which is me and you and the farmers and industrial workers all around me etc. Then, when they’re too old to properly administrate, we have delegation/elections. Yknow, a thing called democracy? I’m American so I’ll give you the benefit of doubt that you also have never experienced a democratic system that was built with common people in mind, instead a corrupt false corporate lobbyist war machine that you (and i) have no choice but to feed. If someone were to prevent that, I’d let em be president for a fuckin 100 years
