And for the best interest of the people to be the specific reason for decisions.

You just answered your question for me. I believe the democratic centralism in the CPC enables it to make its decisions based on the best interests of the people.

Also, why would I support the CPC and not support the people? That doesn’t make any sense. Surely someone supporting the CPC wouldn’t do so because they don’t support the people…

Again, never accused you of having the opinion that is “not supporting the people”. Not what I said. Those aren’t my words.

I do understand how you could misinterpret, but to be clear: I’m arguing that it’s better to just support the people, not the current government in place in China. I believe this because their government absolutely doesn’t have the best interests of the people in mind.

This isn’t really going anywhere constructive so I’m going to stop engaging. I hope you have a nice day!
