    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.
