Not an argument. You’re just complaining about how there’s multiple words for “some schmuck in charge.” Do you realize that’s incompatible with your prior insistence he is not in charge?
Xi is in the highest seat of the CPC, that doesn’t make him a “CEO.” Your comment is nonsense word salad.
If you can distinctly disagree with it then it’s not word salad. You’re just pulling insults from a hat.
The comparison between shmucks-in-charge is crystal clear. No CEO plans and runs an entire company. They have layers of people under them. They are still in charge. They pick those planners, and tell them what to do, in broad terms.
Your argument against this is that the state only has half the economy… and even that is undercut by acknowledging they “heavily plan” the other half.
No, my argument is that framing Xi as a CEO is nonsense. I disagree with the framing as it isn’t accurate.
