You gave me nothing to work with, though. What does it mean to be a "strongman," and how does that apply to Xi? How is it that my "thing" is "following the party line?" I do have opinions pretty typical to communists, and I support existing socialism, but I'm not a member of the CPC nor am I paid by them, and I do critique them. Just because I do not agree with all critique of the CPC does not mean I don't agree with any.
