Look at who the people are that you are reading
Neither Zhangrun and Weiwei advocate for adopting a western-style liberal democracy
- Zhangrun is a legal scholar
- Weiwei is a chinese professor in international relations
Liu Xiao Bo won a Nobel peace prize (democracy advocate)
Weiwei only uses the US as an example of democracy
What is democracy?
Democratic systems are very different from each other
Democracy is not a universally applicable value just like communism
But the value behind democracy (governing a country for the people) might be universally applicable
Any political system has its limitations/dangers when it is not properly maintained
Zhang Weiwei’s plea against democracy is grounded in Marxist thinking
Zhang Weiwei argued that china already tried democracy in 1911-1912 but that is not true
(warlordism, Yuan Shekai)
