1 Brietbart is dumb, didn't expect this from them. China does have civics, Xi isn't a dictator. NPC isn't a rubber stamp, even in the Mao era they kicked him out of power but he always wormed his way back in.

2 What??? Of course Xi is a dictator. China is ruled by the totalitarian Chinese Communist Party (Maoist), with Chairman Xi as their top totalitarian. Like all totalitarian systems, there is push and pull behind the scenes until a tipping point is reached, at which point the purges begin.

5 I was guessing he's out of the closet.

6 The Chinese aren't Maoists any more. The last Maoists were Shining Path in Peru and they got crushed a few years back. There are some Maoists left in India I think. Naxalites?
Maoism is communism but instead of using educated urban industrial workers like Saint Marx said it's using illiterate rural peasants.
There are all sorts of commies. They have intra-commie purges and wars all the time. That's what the Cultural Revolution was: Mao's famous slogan that started the whole thing was "bombard the headquarters!" Since the headquarters was the army Mao recruited teenage Red Guards to fight them. Whole cities were wrecked in urban fighting like Stalingrad.
China invaded Vietnam because they were the wrong kind of commie. Vietnam overthrew Khmer Rouge Cambodia because they were the wrong kind of commie.
China and the USSR nearly got into a big shooting war over some islands in a river. The river shifted its course and both sides claimed the land that appeared.

8 It's not being a closet commie, it's being well-read.
"If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat."

9 more copy-paste as rebuttal. How...unexpected

10 Nah I wrote it. I copy-pasted it into a search engine to confirm and got this back.

11 I can accept that they aren’t proper Maoists anymore — though Neville Roy Singham who is underwriting the current Black Bloc protests is, successful capitalist though he was in his own life — but they are still totalitarians.

They’re still sealing residents into their apartment buildings to control disease from spreading, and there’s all that social credit nonsense that means if you aren’t compliant enough you can lose not just jobs and access to education but bank and bus access as well. It’s not as visible as the arrests during the Cultural Revolution, but it’s even more dangerous to anyone who dares express an independent thought.

12 There are Maoists still. You'll find them in American and Western academia.

13 When you can disappear your rivals and people that disagree with you that may not be a dictatorship, but it’s a distinction without a difference.

15 Is Jairong one of the fabled '小粉红'?

16 They're all wannabe Maoists. All communists, all over the world, would either be like Stalin or be like Mao if they could get away with it. That's because at heart they are all totalitarian assholes, murders and thieves without conscience. If Xi keeps going like he is, he'll get there.
