This isn’t really all that bad of a take, on it’s own. United Russia controls basically all of Russia politically (president, majority of governers, ministers, etc.), with a sizable majority. The CPC is one party in a literal sense, but also has many factions and a variety of positions.
What kind of take is this? Who agree with that?
I don’t think they are entirely wrong on the second half of their sentence. Despite being a one-party state, there are multiple currents and lines of thought that make up the CPC, and since socialism is the baseline, I can see the comparison.
There are at least a hundred times more differences inside the CCP than there are between Democrats and Republicans in the US
That’s a pretty low bar LMAO, but I think you’re right. And more sophistication, as well.

Convincing oneself and others of blatant falsehoods purely for the sake of linguistic symmetry.
MFers just be saying shit that sounds good, there’s not much more than that to it.
The author must have been sleep deprived, because a common gripe about the PRC is that it is a one‐party state, whereas the Russian Federation is not.
Aside from the confused subjects, this is a pretty bland take.
One would like to think it was confused typing, but this was in a thread about how “liberal democracy is so self-evidently good that even Russia, the most repressive and evil country in the world, needs to pretend to have elections”
No wonder he gets… no visit.
Cue laugh track.
budum tschhhh!
Reddit itself is the punchline, tbh.
