    China isn’t run by an “oligarchy” but by a dictatorship of the communist party via a mandate of the masses

    Almost all one-party systems meet the definition of a oligarchy. Also not via a mandate of the masses, not anymore, read about how Xi Jinping came to be the general secretary.

    they execute CEOs and rich people there

    You could have worded this a bit better, it reads as “being rich is enough to get you executed” and not as “being rich doesn’t make you exempt from capital punishment”. There’s plenty of those over there ofc, over a thousand billionaires.

    They need a police state to control the workers

    Bit irrelevant because all states seek to control the workers, that’s how states work. And why all communistic political ideologies aim to abolish the state at some point.

    Edit: To be clear, I agree with you in general. I just got bugged a bit by those three things 😅

      You do not. You are misinformed and propagandized. Your choice of examples revealed that clearly and nothing you say can refute that fact. Read Marx, read Lenin, your understanding of the state is lacking.

      For one, anyone educated would understand that Americans are the best example of sheep in the world and that many Europeans are good second examples. The British for example with their high tolerance for a surveillance, laws that criminalize all manners of small trivialities, etc, etc. Educate yourself.
