[quote]Proving how impratical democracy is for vast subsistence populations.
What it proves is that it requires a cultural change, not a facade.
India has about as much chance of cultural change as the US has of reducing its hyper-partisanship.
Quote:This is a good thing. They have justice as well as democracy.
Even if murderous riots disputing the election results occur in the nation's Capitol itself, before "justice" steps in....
Quote: The last time a leader discarded economics like this, tens of millions of Chinese starved to death.
10's of millions of Americans living paycheck to pay check - the very definition of chronic financial stress - are threatening the stability of US democracy itself.
Quote: That is just you being hysterical.
The 'China containment' policy is real
Quote: He is a spin doctor. Like you, trying to sell capitalism to the Chinese people as rebranded socialism, in order to save face for the CCP over the tens of millions of people they killed by trying to help them.
Ideological narratives built around words like 'capitalism' and 'socialism', to produce your 'rebranded socialism', are meaningless.
The CCP is "selling" an economy that works for all (aka common prosperity)..... something which Bernie Sanders is also promoting in the US, blocked by evil mainstream economists who you claim they know how the economy works (they don't, even a top Fed insider (Rudd) pointed that out).
Quote: Unless the winds of change change again, and if the people are oblivious, they will get away with it.
The CCP is well aware of the obstacles being put in the path of China, by the US.
Quote: Besides, there is more than one way to kill tens of millions of Chinese people by trying to help them, as your MMT argument proves.
Actually it will be fun watching mainstream economists ratcheting up interest rates in the US; should cause a recession in no time.
Quote:The Chinese people should hate the CCP for starving tens of millions of Chinese people to death. They should hate the CCP out of love for China.
So Ozzies should hate the Oz government for the aboriginal genocide, still ongoing in the form of chronic alcoholism, family dysfunction and a life expectancy 10 years less than non-indigenous.....
