    What does the authoritarian China have to do with socialism? They are a lot closer to state capitalism than anything imo. This just reads as propaganda. I think the world respects China about as much as people repect the States, that is to say not at all, only fear and or distrust at best.

      You’ve had a lemmy.ml account for a year and a half and now you’re walking into c/socialism with this drivel?

      Donny, you’re out of your element.

        I generally sort by top day and this sub rarely comes up with anything i disagree with, I’ve probably been subbed here since I joined.

        for the record I’m not anti China or anti US I disagree with authoritarianism that all super powers have. And this poped up in my feed and looks like basic authoritarian boot licking. That’s all, I’m not trying to attack socialism or even China

          Every government holds authority by its very nature because it has monopoly on legal violence. The only question is whose interest this authority is exercised in. The term authoritarian is utterly devoid of all meaning, and it’s used to keep ignorant westerners scared of real world alternatives to the dictatorship of capital.
