    I don’t even know what you are talking about. reactionary?

    Wait, are you getting involved in political discussions without any familiarity with actual politics? Or even a willingness to google terms to pretend you know what people are talking about?

            Well tough luck, because I am, so explain. What about communism, a system that extends democracy from just the government to the entire workplace, seems regressive or part of the status quo? What past condition is it trying to reestablish? Or is this one of those vibes based “akshully Xi was allowed to stand for president more than twice so that makes him a dictator” analyses?
