WHY DO YOU THINK CHINA DOESN’T HAVE DEMOCRACY?
It does.
And what’s ‘best’ is easy to determine. You get the corpus of people doing the job, all of whom have interest in not colluding on who’s best for at the job because they all want that spot, and they decide who is best at the job.
That is democracy manifest.
That is just not UNIVERSAL DEMOCRACY, because SOMEONE WHO DOES NOT KNOW A BALLCOCK FROM HIS COCK AND BALLS DOES NOT NEED TO VOTE ON WHO IS THE BEST PLUMBER.
Your incredibly terrible analogy only describes what is the best business to shop from, which makes sense that consumers of that business should vote for that.
But people that have never ordered a plumber SHOULDN’T VOTE ON WHO THE BEST PLUMBER IS.
In your own analogy you argue AGAINST UNIVERSAL DEMOCRACY AS NONE OF YOUR EXAMPLES HAVE IT.
You shouldn’t rely on people that know absolutely nothing about what they’re voting on to vote for those things. That SHOULD BE FUCKING OBVIOUS.
How do you determine the best etc? CONSENSUS BY PEOPLE THAT ARE TRAINED TO KNOW WHAT’S BEST.
There is an objective way to measure effectiveness at any job, period. If there isn’t, it’s not a job. It’s a hobby.
Pick the best, and when it’s unclear, you vote.
Hence Chinese Meritocracy, every union that has ever existed, and why China has better democracy than the west where every idiot votes on everything despite not knowing anything about the thing they’re voting on.
In short, THANKS FOR AGREEING THE CHINESE WAY IS BEST.
Edit: To be clear:
"Oh shit, looks like you need additional input to determine what the BEST even is in literally every single interpretation of it imaginable. Maybe you should hire a panel of experts to figure out who THE BEST IS at that moment. "
THIS IS THE THING YOU ARE ARGUING AGAINST. THIS IS THE CHINESE GOVERNMENT AT ALL LEVELS AND LAYERS. THIS IS LITERALLY HOW THE ENTIRETY OF CHINESE SOCIETY WORKS. JESUS FUCKING CHRIST YOU GAVE CHINA’S DEMOCRACY AS AN EXAMPLE OF WHAT CHINA SHOULD BE.
When the ‘kurds’ (aka mossad) admit they received and distributed the arms Trump accidentally revealed they were sent, sure.
