Yeah, the march of orderly progress in China isn't ever obstructed by internal social problems. (And if you disagree, you will be reeducated if you aren't first crushed under the tank treads of orderly progress.)

But it's interesting how the defenders of the American Right are so ready to lavish irrational praise on (even nominally “Communist”) authoritarian regimes, including those they paint (often accurately) as dangerous competitors abroad, just like their Dear Leader is.

> USA is hijacked by the left and socialism

Much as I'd like that to be the case, at least if it was democratic socialism, it is really just that it was taken over by the far right, but the way they've been running the show has managed to alienate much of even the solid-but-not-far-right, leaving the far-right isolated without it's less extreme erstwhile allies; calling everyone who doesn't support them “left” and “socialist” is reflexive, but not accurate.

This is not popular, but thats how I feel. As soon as we work out our social problems, we will realize the world as completely past us by. I'd rather focus on improving our standard of living.

> USA is hijacked by the left and socialism and is on its way to hell, with China is catching up, our days are numbered.

Lmaoooooo. Socialism isn't even remotely a thing in america as decades after the cold war, propaganda of the red scare is effective amongst large swaths of the population. Then again you probably think socialism is the the government does stuff.

But ha you're right, Americans should just suck it up, and accept extrajudicial educations and power abuses because american exceptionalism means we always need to be #1.
