I think the key difference is that Xi has a very strong vision for China and is actually practicing what he preaches; enriching the nation rather than enriching himself. Like a strict father, head of the family.
While the debacle that is the US government is all about enriching themselves and their associates rather than the nation. Like goblins in a mine.
Could we not go for a more sustainable solution? I’m sure they’d make a pretty decent fertiliser.
Well, from where you’re standing, everyone’s a leftie.
Hmmmm. And Shintoism?
Edit: I’m being cheeky. Looks like religion turns itself into tribalism when a certain population point is reached.
Buddhism is pretty alright though, isn’t it?
Authoritarianism != Communism
Communism is about the power of the working class, seizing the means of production, and self governance. No government has effectively put into practice communist practices because the concept of government itself is contrary to communism.
There’s been a decades long movement in the US to demonise communism (and socialism) in favour of capitalism. There used to be overtly communist political groups in America.
Anyway, it’s an interesting read. I highly recommend you read up about communism and what it stands for. Also capitalism because we’re all more or less living in a crony capitalist world.
Hmmmm. That kind of sounds like corrupt rich people.
For selfish reasons, I’d pick Love and Deepspace so I can frolick through time and space with 5 (soon to be 6) different boyfriends, hunting wanderers with superpowers.
