This isn't a definition.

Openly calling for something generally happens in democratic, civilized countries not in opaque, brutal societies.

So the answer is - "No, they didn't replace him"

And did the Communist Party show the ability and courage to replace Mao when he made those decisions or did they continue to let him be a dictator?

Indeed.

And how's Communism with its Great Leap Forward and Cultural Revolution?

I don't know what they teach in China. But Mussolini's party seized power through a "March on Rome".

We can argue till the cows come home. Stalin died with 7-8 years of end of WW2. What he built didn't even last 40 years. A comparison to a 200 year + British Empire or even older empires is moot.

Two entirely different things. China can remain a consumer while manufacturing moves to cheaper locations.

Please read my post again. We were discussing how manufacturing always moves to places where its cost effective and how things WERE made in Japan then. Is this simple enough to understand?

Can't comment on the Communist world but in the democratic, civilized world - Sony, JVC, Panasonic, Suzuki, Honda, Toyota, Nintendo, Super Mario Bros, Sega, Mitsubishi, Gameboy etc. ruled the roost.

Global manufacturing moved to China when China was happy to suck up to the West. Supply chains and manufacturing can move, although it takes time.

Heard of the Berlin air drop?

When push comes to shove, the democratic civilized world has had to pool their resources to stand upto and take on brutal regimes - Hitler, Mussolini, Stalin and now Xi. Nothing new in this.

Unlike GM which brought rubbish into India, Ford genuinely tried to crack the Indian market. They had some fantastic products - it's a shame they never quite got it right at the right time.

Isn't that the actress from Pushpak? What a superb movie that was.
