Idealogues wearing blinders view the world through tunnel vision. The communist unutopia is brazenly undemocratic when the state is ruled by a recognizable declared dictator and his puppet clique. All resemblances to free democratic or republican practices are purely coincidental and vaporware. Practically speaking PRC citizens are slaves to the state with severely delimited choices definitely lacking customary liberties of the west. No apologies offered for bursting your collective bubbles. Perhaps living under the regime might revise your ethereal attractions.
