That's cool that you can have that opinion from your position of being one doordash order away from having food to eat, but if you were an elected representative of a society that had to build itself up under seige after a century of colonial pillaging and a world war that devastated your economic and food infrastructure and killed millions of people, you might actually have to engage with the brutal reality of famine and underdevelopment, with the unavoidable questions of survival. If the Palestinian Resistance manages to secure it's territory to administer, they will have to engage with these questions too. If and when that happens, will you simply write them off as "authoritarian", and dismiss those who support their struggle as "simping for authoritarians"?

I meant like can you give an example of one

Also:

It also serves as a mechanism to efficiently direct resources to human advancement as basic needs are automated.

So like China

You just described the PRC, and notably not capitalist dictatorships, whose governments don't represent their people / working class, but the interests of capitalists only.

You desperately need to get past this poli-sci-intro-level understanding of what states are. States are organizations of force for one class (meaning in Marxism their relationship to production) to oppress another. The USA and other liberal countries are capitalist dictatorships over workers, while the PRC is a worker's dictatorship over capital.

They seem to be doing a pretty good job

we agree that authoritarianism is bad

No. We disagree that "authoritarianism" is a meaningful distinction when every government exists by authority. Might as well call it "badguyism"

The method of voting isn't what makes it real democracy it's the class content of the state and the fact that voting is a ritual for representatives that will only ever serve capital as opposed to voting being a single part of a daily system of feedback and interaction with deputies embedded in the grassroots situation who need accomplishments (to solve our problems) to go for higher offices. There's a reason the number of billionaires in China is shrinking while public services and social safety nets are constantly seeing investment while in Europe and America austerity for the masses and tax cuts for the rich is law.

End to end encrypted

Nice vibes based analysis sort of redundant when they have backdoors on every piece of technology deployed there or the fact that most end to end encrypted messages are some mix of lying and insecure like WhatsApp.

I don't work for the government. I do however have friends who are party members (shouldn't be surprising considering slightly over 1/14 people are) and I did work alongside the CPPCC for a period and many of my classmates from my master's in Marxist theory were doing it to work towards civil servant positions. Even besides all that I interact with my local party office fairly regularly to provide feedback as do many others.

You can check the modlog or DM the mods and ask I'm not a mod I also didn't report them so your guess is as good as mine.

I very clearly didn't dismiss any of his points I just pointed out that continuously didn't make sense considering we only brought encryption up once prior to this comment and I had responded to it at that time I didn't dodge I also then responded to the point at hand again anyway so idk why you're lashing out. I didn't dismiss him.

This is just typical chauvinist dehumanising bullshit. "Anyone who doesn't accept the western line on China is a bot or a paid shill" you should probably do some introspection on why you react so violently to a Chinese person providing a more accurate view of their country.

Holy shit the cope lol
