What’s up with this straight up pro-china and pro-russia stuff on Lemmy lately?
It’s not even praising the people of China and Russia, but rather their gov directly.
Obviously the states have problems, and the EU to a lesser degree, but they at least have some human rights.
Is this some kind of organized disinformation campaign?
Well, if the class in power is the one who controls the large firms, key industries and media, then the class in power are the high-ranking CCP officials, no? And ccp officials choose who the new ccp officials will be. I don’t see how the working class is involved here. I don’t really understand how the government is elected.
I don’t really want to go read a bunch of theory, because I think you should be able to leverage your clearly extensive knowledge of the subject to convince me.
The CPC is not a class, it’s the most politically advanced of the proletariat, largely. CPC officials are elected as well. It isn’t fashioned like a liberal democracy, but a socialist one.
I get not wanting to read theory, and I understand needing to meet people where they are at. What’s your understanding of the Chinese system of democracy? What distinguishes socialist democracy from liberal democracy? What is a class, in your eyes? If I don’t know where you personally stand in your understanding, then I don’t really know where to start beyond what I’ve already shared.
