      What on earth do you mean by “totalitarian?” China’s a democratic country, if the US was acting more like China we’d actually have good infrastructure, manufacturing, democracy, and a coherent plan for the future. Sadly, the US isn’t a socialist country.

        China’s a democratic country

        You know how America’s two party system is bad and really just a shadow of democracy?

        China has a one-party system.

          Democracy doesn’t mean “the ability to vote between parties,” it means the ability for the people to dictate policy. Socialist democracy cares far more about the latter than the former, while capitalists sell the lie that the former is what democracy even means to begin with.

      Shit redditors say 😂

      If the US acted more like China y’all could actually be the best country in the world like your delusional population believes.

      Rising standards of living, life expectancy, housing for everyone, affordable healthcare and fresh produce. What horrors, they don’t even poison themselves with hormone burgers bro.
