I had this whole witty comment about Dictators being people who don't have to listen to the majority of their voters, but I don't believe Joe Biden is a dictator. I just think the entire system is rotten.

To be more precise, US has a dictatorship of the bourgeoisie while China has a dictatorship of the proletariat.

Idk if I'd call socialism with chinese characteristics a dictatorship of the proletariat in the hermenudical marxist sense, buts its a fuckin start. It's sure as shit 10x better than what we get in the US.

Oh it's not perfect by any means, but definitely a huge improvement on the horrors of western "democracies".

And it's that way because of the US. Just look at what happened to the USSR and other socialist nations, they got absolutely slammed.

At least this way they get to build up power while the cracker industrial complex continues to crumble under its own abuse and neglect.
