One is authoritarian in nature, the other is protestant in nature. These are not the same thing
The authorization of CEO execution sounds like a good thing. People are clearly singing for it, so why not make it policy?
bc when the gubmint do thing it makes it communist and that's literally like that book with the animals at the farm
What are you talking about?
Luigi's alleged actions were an attempt at drawing attention to social issues. Xi Jinping's actions on the other hand are attempts at violently suppressing opposition ergo authoritarianism.
Can you provide any support for your argument that the PRC executes billionaires because of opposition, and not, say, massive corruption? Because you again seem to be making up a narrative to suit your present biases without looking at any sources.
The opposition in China is the capitalist class, that gets capital punishment if they get out of line. China executes billionaire tycoon convicted of being ‘ruthless underworld kingpin’
That's a fun way of saying the government consumes you if you commit wrongthink. That's authoritarian lol.
so according to your own definition, luigi killed that CEO for committing wrongthink and is authoritarian.
like davel just showed you, they're doing the exact same thing, but it's only bad to you when it's law and not adventurism. anarchists or whatever you want to call yourself really are just vibes-based and it's so fucking annoying and reductive. you will never accomplish anything because you instinctively oppose progress as "authoritarian" when it's actually made. you just want to feel like a rebel no matter what kind of system you're living in.
If only Adolf Eichmann had committed his atrocities 10 years later or so, all he had to do was say "the authoritarians are canceling me for wrongthink, literally 1984" and you liberals would have ate it the fuck up
