Your entire argument hinges on it just not being necessary, but you’ve never provided a reason beyond “well what if they’re doing a good job”?
Right that is the reason.
You’ve a great case for why we do need a variety of structures to check one person obtaining too much power, but you’re arguing against term limits because “what if one person happens to be really good at their job?”
Those structures are still there. You haven’t given a reason why term limits are also one of those necessary structures.
You’re not engaging with the answer here, which has been repeatedly given (arguably by marx) but I’ll happily reiterate it in more plain language: “no one person is so good at their job that they should be unwilling to step down from power”.
But that’s the thing. He CAN step down. That’s what I’ve been saying. He got into his position from the assembly who voted him in. If he starts being shit at his job the same assembly that voted him in will vote him out.
Nobody is so unique that an equally competent person cannot be found - but many people are so corrupt that they will remain in power as long as possible unless there are hard checks to prevent them from doing so.
You’re assuming that being in power is the problem when the problem is abusing power. Xi can’t do literally whatever they hell he wants. He can’t pass the “give me the power to do literally whatever I want” law and if he for whatever reason tried to be a dick he would be replaced.
Yes, that’s the bad reason I’ve been repeatedly debunking over all the flaws inherent to it and that you’re somehow entrenched in thinking is a good point?
Look just… stop trying to assert that you know what you’re talking about. You’re so bad at this that you’ve pivoted to arguing that an indirect representative democracy is in itself a reasonable and sufficient check on authoritarian power. That’s a joke - or the punchline to several jokes, really - and it’s antithetical to everything to do with communism and/or socialism. Just… come on.
(And dude you’ve brought Xi into this when I was never talking about China - I get you like them real hard but I’m not discussing them?)

No you haven’t you’ve just said “yes and this is one of those structures” You have to actually explain why it’s necessary.
(And dude you’ve brought Xi into this when I was never talking about China - I get you like them real hard but I’m not discussing them?)
At this point you’re just trolling. This thread began with China as an example of a dictatorship which lead into the discussion about term limits as the main reason for that. I’m not going to keep feeding the troll. Blocked.

Lmfao yeah, that was convincing.
