    Damn, 100 years of unfulfilled promises. Do you think the communist party could have stayed in charge if China was a democracy?

        Oh please.

        Let me rephrase it for you: if China was a well functioning, pluralistic democracy with free contestation, right to opinion, assembly and everything else that makes a democracy a democracy, do you think the communist party could have sat for a 100 years with unfulfilled promises without the Chinese deciding someone else should have a go?
