Regarding the USSR, they pivoted to a system of approval voting. Candidates were selected through consensus, and voted on accordingly, rather than in contested elections.
Regarding the DPRK, candidates are selected through consensus, then approved or not.
Regarding the PRC, you are writing about an internal party election, rather than a broader societal election.
Please be serious and read the book, rather than quote farming. You’re already misrepresenting and misinterpreting the book.
I have speed-read through this one and can affirm it, and I gave you added context when you brought out specific passages. I’m sorry, but sometimes you need to do in-depth study of a subject if you are to understand the whole.
