            In plain English, people who support oppressive dictatorships do so a lot of times because they think that distributing economic output in a way that eliminates poverty is impossible in a democracy governed by the rule of law.

            If Canada achieves the elimination of poverty without becoming autocratic, the dictatorical evils of the CCP or the USSR are shown to be unnecessary.

              The Chinese Party is not even communist. It’s all a façade. The wealth inequality in China is goddamn awful. It’s basically capitalism on steroids but red. Red capitalism.
