“Much worse” is what you say when you know little to nothing about what Mao and Stalin did to say nothing of Xi. Completely horrifying repression, mass murder, famine, and death.

You can pick a “worse” but to act like it’s an easy call is just pig ignorance.

Hi! I'm sorry, I thought we were talking about the modern fascist movements vs modern communist and left wing ones.

I'm not sure why you're bringing up historical movements, seems irrelevant to my response.

The others, OK, but Xi is pretty modern.

Hasn't Xi lifted more people out of poverty than anyone else in the last century?
