From: Vicki Rosenzweig vr@redbird.org And now you're saying "relatively"; are you proposing an article that describes China as "relatively authoritarian", and if so, do you plan to give a scale from 0 to 100, with notes of where other nations fall on that scale?
China can fairly be described as authoritarian. They have progressed there from a situation that could be fairly described as totalitarian, and in some ways still is. There is a range within which an objective description of the situation justifies that description of the situation. This situation is properly discussed in the article [[authoritarianism and totalitarianism]] which is the appropriate link from use of both the words authoritarian and totalitarian.
We get all over those who would deny the holocaust; no reason not to not adopt the same sort of disrespect and impose the same restraints upon those who would deny the sins of Marxism-Leninism.
Wikipedia should simply be a resource that delivers balanced objective information, however offensive it may be to partisan viewpoints.
Exclusion of unfavorable information is not a neutral point of view, but bowing to what is essentially a demand that such information be censored.
