At this point is it even correct to call criticism of Beijing to be "red scare"?
The so-called "Communist Party of China" has a lot of billionaires in it's membership.
There seems to be a lot of capitalism going on in the "People's Republic of China" these days.
Labour Unions are illegal in China.
Given all the allegations of sexual assault levied the leadership and how that's handled, I think it's fair to characterize them as misogynistic.
China regularly uses a narrative about righting the wrongs from past national humiliations in it's propaganda.
When you actually describe the government of China these days does it actually sound Communist? Or does it sound like some other form of authoritarian government? Fascism, maybe?
Of course that's ridiculous. Fascists would never call themselves socialist. They're always super honest about things like that, aren't they? The National Socialist Party of Germany must have actually been socialist, because no fascist ever makes false claim about being socialist.
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
