You imply that it is good to have term limits, despite the fact that it is clearly un-democractic to limit who the people can vote for. If the people like someone and think they should continue their work, they should be allowed to do so. [EDIT:] And if China did have term limits... what would it change? Xi ends his terms and then what? Someone else will simply step up.
I didn't say it wasn't. I said it would be better if it was.
No. I implied that it's not fascistic to have term limits (or less fascistic). I don't think I said anything was good or bad.
You're implying that being un-democratic is a bad thing. The US Constitution is also un-democratic, as it doesn't permit the voting majority to violate the rights of the minority. And I doubt you would consider such mob rule of the majority to be a good thing. Or do you?
Do you think so?
So not allowing the majority to enslave the minority is bad? It's clearly un-democratic.
Well, I'm against slavery. So I guess our preferences just fundamentally differ.
It is not undemocratic to ensure the rights of the people.
And I do not want the enslavement of people.
