If you're willing to give the us government even a shred of forgiveness despite constantly proving they're completely undemocratic, you should look into how Chinese governance actually works and see why the CPC has such high approval ratings from the population.

Me when my government bans a historically popular app: those Chinese ain't democratic like us!

I think it's recognition as an equal being on equal footing worthy of equal respect, not as an object of domination. In that equality the master can recognise themselves unalienated, and see themselves as a person worthy of respect in their own right. What worth is the respect gained from a slave who you dominate mentally and physically? It's an incomplete recognition in its own right that doesn't see the master as the full human they are as well.

Losurdo's "Class Struggle" talks a lot about the multiplicity of class struggles through this lense.

Happy to be corrected on the above by any Hegel pros.

 

Want to read more than just the wiki and thought people may have good recommendations 😊
