    I agree, these points fully describe China - Republic of China & their DPP in Taiwan. Every point hits the nail on the head lmao

      Yeah I hate that whole left/right political spectrum thing. It’s a construct that may sometimes be useful as quick shorthand to describe moderate politics. But it’s just a construct and doesn’t really apply to authoritarian extremists.

      People feel like it’s impossible for a government to go from the “far left” to the “far right” without there being a revolution of some sort. So they fail to recognize that China could be fascist. Because that spectrum makes them think that’s not possible.

      But if you remove the labels and symbols, the Beijing regime is very obviously fascist.

        Bruh of course the PRC is not fascist (if this word has any meaning nowadays) - they removed them 70 years ago, however ironically the ROC fits your description
