      Wouldn’t it be a return to the left KMT democracy party that Sun Yat Sen was part of.

      I mean technically (as is common) it was the right wing Nationalist who went after Mao and did the Shanghai Massacre, then those Right Wing Nationalists became the antidemocratic military dictatorship in Taiwan for 25+ years…

      …just seems like there a pro-democracy argument that could be salvageable there. But I guess what centrist Maoist in China mean by democracy and what a westerner means by democracy aren’t going to be the same thing.

      I guess I just hope the future drifts to the progressive left everywhere.
