You have to be a troll.
>You can appose 2 things
Sure not what I took issue with. I took issue with you calling China fascist which is just an untrue statement.
Authoritarian is a pejorative. All countries and states in class society are "authoritarian" by necessity. Fascism is a specific thing arising from the tendency for the rate of profit to decline in capitalist society.

You can keep insisting I'm a troll if it helps you deal with not being able to engage with arguments. China is authoritarian, but authoritarianism doesn't matter to you, so that shouldn't matter to you. Consistency, please. And no, countries aren't "authoritarian" by necessity. Even if some amount of policies etc that would be considered such exist everywhere, you have countries that are freer and countries that have more political suppression, censorship of media outlets, etc etc. China *does* censor it's media—political and entertainment— heavily. Just one small example.
