    Ironic for a group that currently obsesses over anti-genocide to be pro-genocide;

    "Even if every absurd fabrication that the anti-communist propagandists like to parrot about the millions supposedly killed by Stalin, Mao, etc. was true, those numbers would pale in comparison to the number of lives they saved, "

    also

    Creating gender equality

    Until Stalin reversed it all lol (there are also no high-ranking women in the Chinese government – ever)

        See, out of a somewhat displaced curiosity, I’d actually like to see that. Would it turn out the “same” as previous mainly patriarchic autocracies? Would it collapse? Any interesting policies?

          Ask Bangladesh, Sheikh Hasina was widely considered to be an autocrat.

              To put it mildly. But what are few massacres and disappearances between friends.

              And in democracies you also have examples like Thatcher. The problem with the patriarchy is the patriarchy in general, not the genitals of the person in charge.

      Huh. I hadn’t noticed. Which says nothing good about China, obviously, but it also highlights how a sausage-fest government does not stand out to us.
