Not OC, but I do think its impossible that the goverment not made of worker class representstives can be socialistic (or where worker class is underrepresented).
Just by the simple fact they do not represent the wast masses, they will ultimately be disconnected from workers and/or serve their own petty bourgeoisie interests.
Agreed?
Even ancient Greeks knew that when the representatives in democracy come from rich families they always serve their families first (see sortition, a practice they used to offset that).
You are a polish nationalist who has done no research on China and thus should stop speaking on it until you do
We've been through this before, so I'm not sure why you're repeating this misunderstanding. Administration is not a class, just like "intellectual" is not a class. In socialist states, the working classes do control the state, and this is expressed by the working classes being the primary beneficiaries of social labor. The Greeks had an entirely different mode of production and distribution, so not sure why you bring them up.
