It is actually a pretty good system for the CCP "politburo".

- _carbyau_ 5y ago"Mr Xi oversees the party and its 92 million members — that might sound huge compared to Australia’s population of 25 million, but it is less than 7 per cent of China’s 1.4 billion people." https://www.abc.net.au/news/2021-07-01/ccp-100-years-chinese-communist-party/100222794 https://www.abc.net.au/news/2021-07-01/ccp-100-years-chinese...

Also, a Politburo member becomes The Chairman. In a nutshell, ringleaders of ringleaders of Bolsheviks. *MUCH* more equal than the others, naturally.
