    This isn’t really all that bad of a take, on it’s own. United Russia controls basically all of Russia politically (president, majority of governers, ministers, etc.), with a sizable majority. The CPC is one party in a literal sense, but also has many factions and a variety of positions.

      I don’t think they are entirely wrong on the second half of their sentence. Despite being a one-party state, there are multiple currents and lines of thought that make up the CPC, and since socialism is the baseline, I can see the comparison.

        There are at least a hundred times more differences inside the CCP than there are between Democrats and Republicans in the US

    The author must have been sleep deprived, because a common gripe about the PRC is that it is a one‐party state, whereas the Russian Federation is not.

    Aside from the confused subjects, this is a pretty bland take.

      One would like to think it was confused typing, but this was in a thread about how “liberal democracy is so self-evidently good that even Russia, the most repressive and evil country in the world, needs to pretend to have elections”
