    Re: authoritarianism— your opinion.

    Some of us aren’t in favour of oppressive regimes that aren’t transparent, surveil, and censor.

      “Authoritarianism” is meaningless because all it means is “uses state power.” It doesn’t acknowledge which class controls the state and who it uses state power against. In China, the working classes control the state, and use state power against bad actors and capitalists more than anything else. China is oppressive to capitalists and liberating to workers.
