Right that is the reason.

Yes, that's the bad reason I've been repeatedly debunking over all the flaws inherent to it and that you're somehow entrenched in thinking is a good point?

Look just... stop trying to assert that you know what you're talking about. You're so bad at this that you've pivoted to arguing that an indirect representative democracy is in itself a reasonable and sufficient check on authoritarian power. That's a joke - or the punchline to several jokes, really - and it's antithetical to everything to do with communism and/or socialism. Just... come on.

(And dude you've brought Xi into this when I was never talking about China - I get you like them real hard but I'm not discussing them?)

No you haven't you've just said "yes and this is one of those structures" You have to actually explain why it's necessary.

(And dude you've brought Xi into this when I was never talking about China - I get you like them real hard but I'm not discussing them?)

At this point you're just trolling. This thread began with China as an example of a dictatorship which lead into the discussion about term limits as the main reason for that. I'm not going to keep feeding the troll. Blocked.
