    He’s a dictator in the sense that he’s a guy who runs a country that is a communist country that is based on a form of government totally different from ours

    yeonmi-park In the authoritarian U.S. regime, they change the meaning of words like “dictator” to mean democratically elected president.

      Dictatorship is when you don’t copy our great form of government. Because it’s totally democratic when the most powerful man in the world is elected by un-proportional electors that we’re not themselves elected.

    Now can the ultras shut up once and for all now that they get the confirmation about China being communist from their most trusted source?

    I had this whole witty comment about Dictators being people who don't have to listen to the majority of their voters, but I don't believe Joe Biden is a dictator. I just think the entire system is rotten.

        Idk if I'd call socialism with chinese characteristics a dictatorship of the proletariat in the hermenudical marxist sense, buts its a fuckin start. It's sure as shit 10x better than what we get in the US.
