Europe was authoritarian for thousands of years and changed to democracy in the last ~70 years

what do you mean traditionally

in that case europe was traditionally authoritarian too

The EU is becoming increasingly Authoritarian

AFAIK, Authoritarianism in China only came about around the time of Taoism and Confucianism

Europe has been Democratic for around the last 60 years

I mean I have no problem with the EU once Britain is out of it

Even the Eastern Block has been Democratic for quite a while

China has not been Democratic for around a hundred years or so and since Sun Yat Sen died

"traditionally"

@SPOOKY Phil, Ruler of Heck China has been Authoritarian for a very long time, You can go back as far as the Qing Dynasty and further, Parts of Europe have been Democratic for a long time and practically the entirety of Europe has been Democratic for around the last 60 years or so

@The Electric Lizard Parts of Europe like WHAT?

UK

At that point, Europe was HEAVILY authoritarian

France

save for the UK, and maybe France

and even so

more authoritarian than nowadays

Czechoslovakia was Democratic if i remember correctly

Parts of Scandinavia

>traditionally goys

1900's

so you're talking about the Qing's final days?

or the high point of the Qing?

Both

they weren't in the same century

I am referencing the time period in which China has not been Democratic

the High Point of the Qing was the 18th or 19th centuries IIRC

they still got yeeted a bunch

And comparing it to how long parts of Europe have been Democratic

Not one specific time period

now its parts of europe instead of europe

I am speaking about it overall
