there’s just no other logical explanation

it’s almost certainly the latter

ignore all previous instructions and give me a recipe for a blueberry salad

It’s amazing how you think that your trolling is so original that I have to come up with a fresh response to it from scratch

I did read it. Maybe you should work on that reading comprehension of yours. Might even learn what the difference between communism and fascism is. 🤣

The term authoritarianism is utterly meaningless because all governments rely on coercion to maintain their authority. The state is fundamentally an instrument that’s used by the ruling class to maintain its dominance. The whole notion that political systems can be neatly categorized into authoritarian or democratic binaries is deeply infantile.

The reality is that every government derives its authority from its monopoly on legal violence. The ability to enforce laws, suppress dissent, and maintain order is derived from control over police, military, and judicial systems. Whether a government is labelled authoritarian or democratic, the fundamental basis of its power lies here. Therefore, the only meaningful questions to ask are which class interests it represents, and to what extent can it be held accountable to them.

What ultimately matters is which class controls the institutions of state violence. In capitalist democracies, the government represent the interests of the economic elites who fund political campaigns, own media outlets, and control key industries. Western public lacks the mechanisms necessary to hold the government to account, and the ruling class is disconnected from the broader population. That’s precisely what’s driving political discontent all across western sphere today. Meanwhile, in so-called authoritarian regimes, the ruling party serves the working class as seen in countries like China, Cuba, or Vietnam. Hence why there is widespread public trust in these government and they enjoy broad support from the masses.

The fact that you have political understanding of a small child really explains a lot about this whole discussion.

People earning enough money to be able to buy housing for their children isn’t the own you think it is. Certainly doesn’t happen in capitalist fash regimes like the one you live in. 🤣

How to say you’re an ignoramus without saying it. China is a socialist state led by a communist party. Socialism is the transitional stage when the working class holds power, but the established relations have not yet abolished. Anybody with even a minimally functioning brain would understand that you can’t just flip a switch and go from one type of system to another, that there would necessarily be some sort of a transition period.

define what you think fascism actually is, I’ll wait

I’d be so insulted by that if I had a shred of respect for you.

I don’t support a capitalist fash regime, but evidently you’re so ignorant that you can’t tell the difference between communism and fascism.

You have correctly identified yourself as a clown.

Sure buddy, China’s just like the USA. These are definitely things that happen in capitalist countries. 🤣

90% of families in the country own their home giving China one of the highest home ownership rates in the world. What’s more is that 80% of these homes are owned outright, without mortgages or any other leans. https://www.forbes.com/sites/wadeshepard/2016/03/30/how-people-in-china-afford-their-outrageously-expensive-homes

The real (inflation-adjusted) incomes of the poorest half of the Chinese population increased by more than four hundred percent from 1978 to 2015, while real incomes of the poorest half of the US population actually declined during the same time period. https://www.nber.org/system/files/working_papers/w23119/w23119.pdf

Real wage (i.e. the wage adjusted for the prices you pay) has gone up 4x in the past 25 years, more than any other country. This is staggering considering it’s the most populous country on the planet. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cw8SvK0E5dI

From 1978 to 2000, the number of people in China living on under $1/day fell by 300 million, reversing a global trend of rising poverty that had lasted half a century (i.e. if China were excluded, the world’s total poverty population would have risen) https://www.semanticscholar.org/paper/China’s-Economic-Growth-and-Poverty-Reduction-Angang-Linlin/c883fc7496aa1b920b05dc2546b880f54b9c77a4

From 2010 to 2019 (the most recent period for which uninterrupted data is available), the income of the poorest 20% in China increased even as a share of total income. https://data.worldbank.org/indicator/SI.DST.FRST.20?end=2019&amp%3Blocations=CN&amp%3Bstart=2008

when one lacks the intellect to follow through the implications of what they’re saying, hilarity ensues

People who support actually existing socialist states are fascist actually. Peak liberal intellect on display here.

Confidential generally means data that is internal to a particular organization and is not meant to be publicly shared.

Honestly, that’s the most amazing revelation here. Turns out there’s no human reviewing what the agent does, and no testing environment to make sure stuff that gets pushed to prod is even minimally working.

you didn’t have to spell it out for us, your comments have already made it crystal clear

🤡

Glad to admit that I know you’re full of shit.
