Cool yeah then we’re on the same page. I just personally think that when most Westerners talk about socialism they just want free heath care and longer holidays and who cares about where the resources that sustain that lifestyle come from?
Okay but I kiiinda get the feeling y’all don’t actually want socialism for the western world, you just want it to burn.
It depends. When you say “socialism in the Western world” do you mean redistribution of all of the West’s plundered resources, land, and labor back to the Global South and indigenous peoples, or do you mean taking Elon’s shit because some global northerners feel like they deserve a bigger share of the plundered superprofits?
Bit of both. I’m aggressively agreeing with him.
If they were really “good people” they would have done something against the Nazis in the decade leading up to 1944 when the war was already conclusively lost.
The real good people died in their thousands in concentration camps long before 1944. Only a few, like Schindler and Rabe were fortunate enough to survive the war.

I think you guys are both agreeing with the same point but getting tangled up on the semantics. NateNate’s core point is that Western democracy focuses on elections and Chinese democracy focuses on responding to the needs of people. He says that Westerners don’t consider China to be a democracy because they only look at the quality of the elections (the process) and not the results (the outcome). He’s not saying that China is not democratic, he’s saying that Westerners are dogmatically trained to look only at the process.
Your core argument seems to be that the Chinese system is procedurally democratic enough to count as a democracy is not contradictory to his point. However, I think it’s kinda funny that by focusing in on the process, this whole debate is kind of supporting his point that Westerners tend to think more of the process than the outcome.
“Uhhh sorry but everyone who did the genocide already died so we have no choice but to let their descendents reap the benefits of said genocide in perpetuity with no recompense to the descendants of the victims. Those are the rules.”
