“Why would I vote out [authoritarian government]? It’s a very popular government!” -every authoritarian supporter, ever
So you’re just straight up admitting that you don’t care if the government is popular: you don’t like it, so it has to go
And there have been capitalist parties voted out in the West, so even with that false pretext your argument is moot.
Lol. When?
Western democracies are maybe heading in that direction, possibly -> yeah, they’re not a monolithic block, different countries are different, just like Asian countries are not a monolithic block - and backsliding into authoritarianism isn’t something that happens overnight
I have no idea how you managed to miss the point the completely and absolutely.
no, my idea of democracy is that the people have the right to chose a different party
Ah. So actually being able to choose policy doesn’t matter; what matters is being able to choose between red team and blue team
no, because I believe humans have a right to chose who governs them
And the people of China have chosen the CPC. But you’ll never accept that, because they’re not who you want them to choose. You will never accept that China is democratic unless it’s run by people you like.
Wow, you claimed I missed the point - I was just pointing out that you’re putting words into my mouth, but the projection is pretty damn strong here.
The point is that authoritarian will always claim their party is popular, no matter what. If you want an American example, take Trump, he does the same shit.
The people of China have chosen the CPC
To quote you:
Lol. When?
(By the way parties like Die Linke in Germany exist and have unseated traditional capitalist parties - so even with your false equivalency your point is moot)
Here are some more things you’ve twisted and put into my mouth that I never fucking wrote:
I don’t care if the government is popular
I don’t care about being able to chose policy (hint: by choosing different parties you can chose different policies)
And again, I somehow have some specific wish on which policies I want China to implement
All things I never wrote.
But then maybe it’s my fault for expecting good faith arguments from someone who likes authoritarianism just because they agree with the policies of the authoritarian and accuses others of seeing everything they don’t like as authoritarianism (oh, here goes the projection again!)

Ok, I’m done here. No point trying to talk to someone who’s deliberately playing dumb
