    So when does someone besides Xi get “elected” in this so called “democracy”?

          He did not declare himself president for life 👍

          And for what it’s worth, I am quite welcome most places on Lemmy. There are a few users like yourself that seem to hate me, but those are in the minority of those I interact with. I’m a Leftist, after all, and Lemmy is usually pretty left-leaning. You can keep calling everyone that disagrees with you a fascist, but that doesn’t make it true.

            When you are the only person allowed to be president and you end term limits that means you are expecting to be in power until you die.

            Like dictators do.

            You also can’t support authoritarianism and be a leftist.

            Fascist movements are inherently right wing, as leftist movements are defined by shared power and control.

              He is not the only one allowed to have his position. Term limits were ended, yes, but that doesn’t mean Xi cannot be ousted. He’s very popular, so that’s unlikely though.

              So no, your entire premise is wrong. Whatever it is that you personally don’t like, you call fascist and authoritarian.

                In China other people are not allowed to seriously challenge Xi

                We both know it, but your entire propaganda angle requires denial of this reality so you are incapable of engaging with that fact.
