It's an authoritarian country where labour unions are illegal and the ruling party is dominated by wealthy billionaires. They spew out xenophobic propaganda that claims that foreigners want to repeat the humiliations of the past (over a century ago) and therefore they need strongmen to protect the people.
We probably should just call them fascists, but since they say they're socialists we believe them. Fascists would never claim to be socialists, they're known to be super honest about that kind of thing.
Labor unions are not illegal. They send a packet of meats to my girlfriend every year. The problem is that this is that only thing they are allowed to do
Labour unions are illegal? I saw from non-chinese ppl that live there they have strikes all time. Can you provide a sauce?
Global politics in 2024 is pretty much western fascism vs eastern fascism
South, middle, north, periphery, western & eastern citizens suffer
There is actually real generally agreed upon properties of fascism. It's not just "politicians I'm angry at because the internet told me to be".
It's important to understand these things otherwise you're just falling for the "both sides" rhetoric just as the actual fascists want you to.
Yes, and the properties apply. Umberto Eco's list is a wonderful source
By no means are the people suffering one of "both sides"
