Europeans are about to find out what Kissinger meant when he said that it may be dangerous to be America’s enemy, but to be America’s friend is fatal.
Entire books have been written on the subject, but here you are a stable genius.
Ah yes, because propaganda famously didn’t exist before the internet was invented. You are very intelligent.
Soviet apartments in the 80s are incomparably better than this, it’s incredible that you cannot understand this https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_tent_cities_in_the_United_States
I was describing buildings from the `80.
Everything I said in my comment still applies if you replace 50 with 80 in it.
… so the ones I described as “so many cons that I’m too sad to talk about them and we have a separate wiki page to describe how awful they can get”?
Once again, you don’t seem to understand the simple fact that millions of people in the west have it worse right now.
You realize that millions of people living in US and Canada would kill for that right now? It’s actually very common at this point for multiple people to share apartments komunalka style because their jobs don’t pay a living wage.
Also, you create a false dichotomy here suggesting that if free housing was built the way USSR did it today then it would have to be built to the 1950s standard. Obviously there’s absolutely no reason why you couldn’t be building modern style apartments.
Cost of treatment is effectively free in China even without insurance, but do go on there champ. If you spent the time to learn about Chinese healthcare then you wouldn’t be making a clown of yourself here.
Imagine talking about human rights while ignoring the very basic necessities of life. 🤡
Tell us, oh troll, how much do people in China pay for their healthcare.
Saying healthcare in China is cheaper than in the US is the understatement of the century. Wait till you find out about eminent domain or what happens when you stop paying property tax. Such obvious trolling indeed. 🤡
Every society puts limit on freedom of speech and expression. There’s nothing unique about China in this regard. What makes you think that the west got this balance fundamentally right while everyone else got it wrong aside from the anchoring bias you experience by virtue of growing up in a particular society? It’s certainly clear that China’s approach results in far more social stability than western approach.
Also, the fact that you think China centralizes power instead of giving it to the people shows that you don’t actually understand how Chinese system works. I urge you to spend a bit of time educating yourself on a subject you’re stating opinions on here. Here’s a western article for you explaining that Chinese system actually encourages decentralized governance and grassroots organization. https://www.noemamag.com/what-the-west-misunderstands-about-power-in-china/
Similarly, the government is also organized based on using grassroots structures as its foundation https://news.cgtn.com/event/2021/who-runs-the-cpc/index.html
Meanwhile, corruption has little to do with centralization. Corruption comes from lack of means to hold people in authority to account. This problem exists within flat structures just as much as it does in centralized ones. In fact, it can be far more pronounced in cases where there are no formal methods for creating power structures https://www.jofreeman.com/joreen/tyranny.htm
Also, centralization is not at odds with workers owning means of production in any way. That’s a really naive understanding of the problem. For example, you can have cooperative ownership of the industry where the workers are in control of how their workplaces operate, while having central governance structures that direct overall efforts to make sure they align with larger societal goals. These types of structures are necessary in large societies for the same reason complex organisms evolve things like nervous systems and brains. The brain doesn’t micromanage the function of the body, but rather focuses on the high level goals beneficial to the organism as a whole.
I’m also well familiar with Wolff, and he has lots good ideas. If you actually pay attention to what he says then you’ll see that he views Chinese system quite positively overall.
can’t read all of them, but here’s a few I can sort of read :)
I think this one roughly translates into people of the world unite
this is my breakfast
who taught them about turtle thursday
The fact that you felt the need to write that comment is adorable.
You just posted it because you’re a chud who’s mad that your color revolution failed and China wasn’t destroyed the way USSR was. Get fucked shitbag.
It can’t work without breaking cryptography. Any system with backdoors in it is fundamentally insecure.
