> to a totalitarian government

Have you actually ever visited China? The US incarcerates, bombs and has more murders (^apart from a few 3rd world hellholes) per capita than anywhere else. What type of government do you call that? "Glorious Democracy"?

This hyperbole helps no one and this forum deserves better. 1 in 5 people on Earth live there, ascribing all the bad things to that many people is disingenuous at best and malicious jingoism at worst.

Not quite everywhere else... unless you are adding # of bombs + number of prisoners + number of murders... not sure that is a meaningful number though :)

A totalitarian utopia would still be totalitarian, no?

Similarly, it seems a democratic hellhole would still be democratic.

Not supporting communism depsite the amount of people who live under it is not hyperbole.
