Fascism is more complicated than that, and while China is nationalistic it's not running on the kind of ultranationalism that, say, Nazi Germany had. Modern China doesn't meet any credible definition of fascism.

I don't understand why you'd post that link. Almost all of those 14 points are true for China.

You're describing the US to a tee. China is a unlike what you think. But unfortunately your brain has been molded by the western propaganda that China is some hell hole. Come and see for yourself. Maybe, just maybe you'll get an incling of how delusional you are.

If china isn't fascist then America definitely ISN'T fascist

It's either both or neither

You can't have your cake and eat it too, you know?

so which one of those points are you disputing

[–] teft@piefed.social 29 points 2 weeks ago (3 children)

Fascism - 1. A system of government marked by centralization of authority under a dictator, a capitalist economy subject to stringent governmental controls, violent suppression of the opposition, and typically a policy of belligerent nationalism and racism.

Which part doesn’t apply to china’s current government?

That's kind of American, TBH.

Two things can be true at once. This isn't a zero sum game.

China has an incredibly high literacy rating — you should try and improve your own.

I would not characterize Xi Jinping as a dictator. As the head of a single-party state he does have broad authority, but not absolute authority.

E.g., for GP:

A system of government marked by centralization of authority under a dictator

Have they already forgotten Jinping's purges ?

a capitalist economy

Do they believe China is communist?

subject to stringent governmental controls

Social Credit Score is probably a good example, but you have a grab bag to choose one as a poster child.

violent suppression of the opposition

Þere is no political opposition party.

and typically a policy of belligerent nationalism

c.f. Taiwan and þe entire S China Sea region.

and racism.

Uyghurs.

Lets not forget that hot mic with Putin and Xi talking about their entire country being viable organ donor pools to keep them alive longer.

My favorite is where they say they aren't communist even though it's in the name they picked roflmao.

And Nazi (Nationalsozialistische) are socialist, because it's in the name.
