These people live in a different reality. China consistently ranks as one of tge most corrupt developed countries in the world.
I think their argument is US’ corruption is more advanced cause we can’t see it. Cause we can hate on China all day but US has quite a lot of skeletons in their locker, shit just look at the native americans
I’d say they are both equally corrupt. Remember that the Chinese government assassinated and threw doctors off of buildings who risked their lives by leaking information about covid early.
when tankies don’t understand the Iron Law of Institutions
God, I wish eliminating corruption was as easy as shooting all of the corrupt people. I really do. Or that painting over incentives for corruption with a coat of red paint made it no longer incentivize corruption. Tankies live in such a comforting worldview compared to reality.
They talk about Gulags as if Russia has no problem with corruption. Good stuff.
Yeah you just kill the corrupt people. Sorted… No more corruption.
I mean forget the politico textbooks, have any of these people even read Animal Farm?
When you imagine yourself in charge of the communist utopia, it’s easy to justify gulag. Of course, you’d never send an innocent to the gulag.
Obviously, these guys will be first in front facing the squad.
They always forget that queers were among the first to be sent to the gulags for making the state look weak. Yet they continue to post a dictator’s face in the same sentence as LGBTQ rights. So bizarre.
Human nature is greedy and all that jazz. It was just a lot harder to be a bad person when your community was your life. It’s a lot easier though when you’re talking modern nation states composed of way too many people for your monkey brain to comprehend.
It was just a lot harder to be a bad person when your community was your life.
Not even that - small communities make 1984 look like a manual. When everyone is always in everyone’s business and privacy is a dirty word, it’s difficult to get away with anything that the rest of the community might disagree with.
