That's... a bad idea. The CCP is evil, but one thing they're not short on is good ideas.
Their level of evil tells me that any idea they could possibly have is evil. I don't want their "good" ideas, because every idea they have is dedicated to preserving their power. Evil can neither comprehend nor create good.
Why is the CPC evil? Wanting to retain socialism and prevent the restoration of capitalism is a good thing, but you're framing the CPC as if its a supernatural force for some metaphysical "evil." Reality doesn't work in terms of "good" vs. "evil" like a Marvel movie.
If taken out of context this could mean any government that uses authoritarianism as a means of control.
So that means no good ideas have ever been implemented by Western colonial/neocolonial powers then, right?
