    When you are the only person allowed to be president and you end term limits that means you are expecting to be in power until you die.

    Like dictators do.

    You also can’t support authoritarianism and be a leftist.

    Fascist movements are inherently right wing, as leftist movements are defined by shared power and control.

      He is not the only one allowed to have his position. Term limits were ended, yes, but that doesn’t mean Xi cannot be ousted. He’s very popular, so that’s unlikely though.

      So no, your entire premise is wrong. Whatever it is that you personally don’t like, you call fascist and authoritarian.

      As it stands right now, FDR was re-elected more times than Xi. Was he also a dictator?
