Your ideologically crippled brain can't address the issue, ie  how to achieve shared prosperity.   

Xi is working hard to achieve it in China, but Western- trained PBofC economists are making it difficult.

Neither was I. The original is 'Ein Volk, Ein Reich, Ein Fuhrer'.

So rights exist in nature, humanity being part of nature

But up until your sudden 'indeed humanity is part of nature' just now, you have been parrotting the exact opposite.


This just illustrates the totally shaky and flaky foundations of all your silly parrotting. You are mistaking slogans for solid premises and your manic words associations as reasoning.

Not unless ve are discussing the actual possession of Ein Fuhrer - which we are not... though the precursors to the collapse of our soft-headed Weimar Republicans with their ineffective attempts at rule by decree are in clear evidence to the casual observer - and this may wall lead to the rise of Ein Volk, Ein Reich, Ein Fuhrer".  Pretty reasonably - "One man - One Vote - One People!"  No need for der Grammar Nazis when I am haffink a little fun mit words...

When democracy is killed off, all that is left is a mish-mash of meandering leftist ideas running by decree (as right here and now), or some strong man on a horse to come along and tear it all apart and then rule the same way - by decree.

Which holds the greater danger for society at large and for democracy at large?

Now then about that Mt Warning Decree - leading us back to the Ayers Rock Decree... and quite a few others along the way..... and an endless number to come.... by what divine right does any government decree that a natural feature in a National Park will become the exclusive playground of a tiny group of malcontents?

When will these tyrannical moves be brought to heel and to the bar for justice?

Geoffrey Robertson has a book around called "Who Owns History?" ... its basic premise is whether or not the appropriation of 'cultural' items and such from various cultures means the right to possession how resides with the current 'owner' - or with the original culture... now we are talking here about discrete and artificial items in the main - a few skeletons perhaps as well..... but how does a naturally occurring feature that has never moved fit into this 'ownership' debate?

I say a natural feature belongs to everyone under Open Range... it cannot be moved to a museum; it is by ho means an artifice 'belonging' to a tribe or culture - NOBODY can own it exclusively, which is precisely why it is National Park and requires no 'protection' since it is already protected by law that applies to all equally. furthermore - its cultural significance is now shared by the entirety of the population including visitors from Offshore (the way immigration is going those will soon cease to exist - there'll be none bloody left Offshore)....

... not to mention 'back to the future' in trying to say that some form of international law will suddenly fix all the problems, just like giving Aborigines in a haze more money will elevate them to the better classes..... his 'international law' has been working wonders at keeping Hamas out of Israel, and worked wonders in Rwanda and a few other places... veritable paradises they were... until they were invaded and set to rights - not by a coalition of benevolent blue helmeted UNuchs - but by a stronger neighbour or coalition... Chad quietened down when the French Foreign Legion and paratroops got into it.... Sierra Leone became quiet once the British Army arrived.... no UNuchs there... or is it UNicorns?  Oh, look - a kamikaze saved Japan from Mongol invasion................

Is that the one that the CCP used to starve 50 million people to death by feeding them all equally?

Is there any meat on these ideological bones, or is it just whatever the current CCP policy is?
