    Well, China, a participatory democracy with a 95 percent approval rating according to a Harvard study, is in the meme building high speed rail, and you’re claiming you have to be an authoritarian dictatorship to build high speed rail?

      Oh right I see what you mean. If you pretend China is a democracy my point is automatically disproven, that is true.

        Why would I pretend China is a democracy when it empirically is according to any useful measure?

        High government approval

        Bottom up representation

        Policies benefit the masses

        Wide range of public opinion represented in government

          That all may be true, but have you considered the fact that they’re savage mongoloids who need enlightened white people to come and bring democracy to them?
