Because Chinese police and military exist for different reasons than US police and military

Repression of the citizens and projection of power externally?

[–] OurToothbrush@lemmy.ml 3 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Yes, vs Chinese police and Military existing to protect the revolution.

Derp. I'd entirely forgotten about the red guard while writing that. In terms of enforcing the revolution.

...And every other police state for that matter.

Thanks.

Sorry, are you saying red guards enforced every other police state? Or that all police states exist to protect the revolution? Both statements seem very nonsensical

[–] deadbeef79000@lemmy.nz 1 points 5 months ago

Sorry, I wrote that when I was tired.

All police states exist to enforce their own states... Which is a bit of a tautology so just ignore that bit.
