Sections on democracy and privacy appear to be missing in Chinese edition of Permanent Record

Can't go allowing Western propaganda about "personal liberty" to interfere with our grand plans. But we're definitely not authoritarian. You will grow to love the options we give you.

    essentially purely propaganda based terms without any form of class analysis

    Authoritarianism is against mass movements and supports executive decisions.

    Minimal political mobilization and suppression of anti-regime activities. Ill-defined executive powers, often vague and shifting, which extends the power of the executive.

    and everyone knows that totalitarianism is anti-Marxist because it reduces the workers level of control over society. It erases the public's ability to discuss such a degree that there's a chilling effect on mere criticism. But of course ML is a fash ideology so that's what they want lol
