    People who are president for life are called dictators.

      Good thing China doesn’t have a president for life then, you orientalist fuck.

          When he resigns, loses an election, or dies, obviously.

          I know it’s hard for people who live in capitalist bourgeois democracies to imagine that a president could sustain popularity over a long period of time. They’re used to getting fucked over, election cycle after election cycle, because their governments don’t work for the majority, they work for the capitalist class. It’s a big club, and you ain’t in it.

            FTFY since he will never resign and never allow someone to dethrone him.

            When people have total control for life that’s called a dictatorship

              All you’re doing is repeating your assertion without adding anything, and the assertion you’re repeating is the the one you received from a lifetime of Western capitalist Cold War propaganda, and I don’t think it’s ever occurred to you to question it.

                Nobody in this thread can explain to me how somebody who has complete control for life is not a dictator.

                And no, him manipulating elections and suppressing opposition doesn’t count as the people making a choice.

                Yes i understand the US has flawed elections, we all need to do better.

      Xi keeps getting elected because people keep liking the results.
