You can’t just make things binary. If I say billionaires are either taxed or not or say that socialism/happiness either exists or not and there’s no point quantifying or comparing it, you’d certainly disagree.

I’d certainly agree. You can’t quantify “Authority”. You can quantify billionairs (one can have more billions than another). You can’t quantify “being taxed”, you can however quantify the taxed amount. Also you can’t quantify “socialism”.

“the rejection of political plurality, the use of strong central power to preserve the political status quo, and reductions in democracy, separation of powers, civil liberties, and the rule of law.”

You can’t quantify these either.

Is the government controlled by the workers? Certainly not.

That’s a very abstract question. When one in 15 is a CPC member the, PRCs government represent workers interests? Certainly.

Yeah, they control all the finance. No, I don’t see how that means the workers are getting more of or closer to getting the means of production.

Not what I’m saying? I gave you examples on how the state represents workers interests.

Unions have nearly no power.

Good. They can be used as a wedge against the workers state as we saw in the Western toppling of the SU.

The third part of that law you sent, worker’s representatives, just seems like extending the ruling elite’s reach further.

How so?

Not to mention that the housing bubble hasn’t stopped.

Then you’re not following news. The fact that western media is screeching about how CNs real estate market crashed says otherwise.
