    Yeah I’ll take a “dictatorship” like China if it means we get socialized Healthcare, 25,000 miles of high speed rail, affordable housing and nationalization of corporations who have received billions if not trillions in subsidies. American “democracy” certainly hasn’t delivered on any of that.

    Ask the Uyghurs how that’s working out for them. Anyone who thinks a fascist dictatorship doesn’t eat whoever they want is lying to themselves. If you’re not a party man (and even if you are that isn’t a bulletproof vest) you’re not going to have a life worth living.

    I bet nazi germans were cool with living in the reich, too. Just look at all those jewish companies they were given! Who wouldn’t want that. /s

      If you want to play this game, maybe you should google the highest prison population in the world and the racial nature of their for-profit prison labour system.

      You’re going to have to come up with a counter benefit we don’t also have under U.S. “democracy”. Unless you think there is no comparison? I’d be happy to discuss that with you.

          I never said that. I said China has socialized Healthcare, thousands of miles of high speed rail connecting hundreds of cities all with their own robust public transit systems, they have affordable cars, housing, food and education. I’m saying thr U.S. has none of that. How did U.S. “democracy” absolutely fail where a China “dictatorship” succeeded?
