Going a step further, the idea of authoritarian. Every ideology with a state relies on some type of authority to function, as a term it is an attempt at equating fascism and communism and serves as holocaust trivialization.

Hitler’s party was elected in, much like the UK prime minister is not actually elected. Hitler still had to win a seat in the Reichstag, so…

The UK prime Minister is also appointed lol.

Putin is a dictator. No one is allowed to stand against him. In the current election the 29 candidates who have tried to stand have had that right taken away from them for one reason or another. Putin has the final say on what goes on in Russia. Putin and Xi may have the illusion of being recalled, but it will not happen. Anyone who thinks otherwise is either spouting propaganda or one very gullible individual.

Notice how you didn't include any evidence of Xi being a dictator

I can easily believe that the GOP are creating problem for the LBGQT community, but they are soon to be ousted from any power they posses. Many of the gerrymandering that has gone on has been reversed or will be in time for the next elections. In NY state alone this will be enough to overturn the lead the GOP has on blocking legislation.

Lol

As for the “at will employment” law China has exactly the same thing.

From your own link

Employees can only be dismissed if one of the statutory reasons for termination is fulfilled. This means that an employer cannot dismiss an employee at will.

Proving incompetence is a higher bar than at will employment actually

The USA has National anti discrimination laws, China has no discriminatory laws, but also has nothing to protect an individual.

They materially don't.

So your idea that China is a better place to be doesn’t really hold water in my opinion.

China isnt involved in carrying out a genocide rn, and China hasn't destabilized the middle east through mass violence. China is better.

So does this mean China has better protection ? This is not a valid comment unless they are both starting from the same point.

China's courts hold transphobic firings to be illegal. In the US similar protections generally don't exist, and where they do, they actually don't because of at will employment law.

Adolf Hitler was elected.

He was not elected, he was appointed to his position. You should speak with less confidence on this subject until you can get basic facts right.

as was Putin.

Putin won a bourgeois election. Also putin isn't a dictator, he is the executive officer of a capitalist oligarchy.

All are essentially the sole control of their countries. Being a dictator is not summarised by the method you gain power; it is what you do with that power after it obtained.

No, being a dictator means you aren't accountable to other political power structures. Xi can be instantly recalled by the constituent assembly if they want. The constituent assembly is made of representatives sent by local democratic councils.

Since 2020 China literally has more workplace protections for trans people than the US

Don't pinkwash your redscare.

Also Xi isn't a dictator. He was literally elected by a democratic assembly. Also he historically pushes for more democracy in China, more than the US. Literally look into the idea of whole process people's democracy

“The most basic criterion for democracy is whether people have the right to participate extensively in national governance, whether people’s demands can be responded to and satisfied. In China, the people participate in the management of state affairs, social affairs, and economic and cultural affairs; they provide opinions and suggestions for the design of national development plans at the highest level and also contribute to the governance of local public affairs; they take part in democratic elections, consultations, decision-making, management, and oversight...."

because feminists want us all to think that.

Oh, which notable feminist theorists have said this?

Yeah, pay them millions and have them pay tuition.

I think it’s too late to agree with him now.

Nah, and doomer-ism only serves to protect capitalism

Sure, in a hypothetical reality where denazification was successful.

To say nothing of what the Republicans are up to.

Why do you think nazis getting doxxed is a reason to report it? Are you under the impression we care about nazis being doxxed here?

If they were in a moving vehicle when they were killed it was probably an Israeli helicopter that did it.
