Can you please explain how the Communist Party of China isn’t communist?

Also, are you suggesting the US isn’t “authoritarian” or do you just mean countries you don’t like?

The same way the DPRK isn't democratic.

How do you define “democratic?” Would North Korea be democratic if there were two candidates instead, where they fought in a pretend culture war, but one of them really just deferred to the other if they won? North Korea has different parties too, you know.

And yet somehow the head office with total power is hereditary just like a monarchy.
