    Well, the question was “Who’s more authoritarian?”, not who had the better response to COVID-19 and I just thought the timing to consider China less authoritarian with what’s going on there right now rather comical.

    Also, it’s a real bold claim that covid quarantine is equivalent to an actual prison.

    Compared to prisons in US that’s probably true, lol. But still, a friend of mine is in lockdown since 1st of April and they haven’t left their flat since. Also food delivery broke down for a few days and they had to life of their stocked milk for four days. Certainly not a situation I’d like to be in.

      Maybe if the rest of the world could put human lives over profit for a little bit we could all be over with this shit and China wouldn’t have to take such drastic measures, but no real measure has been taken by capitalist countries since the beginning of the pandemic.

      if “authoritarianism” is proper quarantine measures, then make this world authoritarian
