A collection of some classic Lemmy memes for your enjoyment
How about China is, in fact, a dictatorship for starters. The Communist in "Chinese Communist Party" is just there for show.
China is a capitalistic country with a state guidance in their industrial policy and a dictator in the helm.
They don't really even have anything in regards to a national health care.
That could be true. But I wonder, in general, what is the process for determining whether a country is a dictatorship or not, from the outside? China claims to be a democracy and holds elections, like just about every other country under the sun. Of course, not every country with elections is actually a democracy, but if we're talking "hard facts" I think we need to be able to point to specific, objective things.
Isn't the Chinese Communist Party the single largest self-identifying communist party in the world? Shouldn't that factor in, like, at least a little bit into our standards for what defines a communist party? Regardless, this is kind of just your subjective opinion, isn't it? Again, what specific, objective standards are you looking at to distinguish between "real" communism and "fake" communism?
