you can’t possibly be serious
presumably how their legislators and executives get their jobs, and who gets to vote would make china a democracy or not?
do you know whether they have elections or how they are held? do you know how proposed laws are considered and declined or instituted? or do you just hear “one party state” and make a pile of assumptions?
ancient athens, the american representative republic, westminster derived parliamentary systems, and school textbook direct democracy aren’t the only forms democracy can take, and frankly those systems (except for the school book one that isn’t used to run any countries) all have huge flaws and failings, and could fairly be called “not actually democracies” if we look at public opinion polling compared to what public policy is actually made.
idk take it up with the person who said you were changing standards
communist party of china is the preferred nomenclature, communist parties are usually “communist” first and whatever nation state second, see see pee is a western invention, maybe to scare boomers by reminding them of the CCCP but i’m not sure we have a memo or leak about why the switch was made.
people have mentioned older coverage when china was not the big scary enemy where capitalist media referred to the cpc correctly, but i don’t have arbitrary 1990s newspaper articles at hand.
you might have a more accurate assessment if you got the name of the party right lmao
“moving the goalposts” is an informal fallacy, and sports other than handegg have them, so the analogy being made should be perfectly comprehensible
china is more of a democracy than the US what with its supreme court, senate, and electoral college.
that’s too much, where’s jack kevorikian?
yeah wtf standard is that

biden shouldn’t have crushed the strike.
he’s totally pro-labor though
for one thing, there’s way more to sex work than intercourse.
where, which sex workers, and which services? i think men who spend more money on onlyfans than they do on groceries are dumb, i think strip clubs are fucken weird, i think sex tourists probably deserve death, and i think most johns are walking into a minefield of exploitation.
and working not from home without being paid for the parts of the process you don’t deal with if did.
congrats on having a community.
i hate it here get me out
