No, they call it a Democracy. So, from your perspective it must be a democracy

So you would say the United States is a Democracy?

So you fail to make any other argument than calling me a racist? Well, I’ll accept the win and remember this for the future.

Not everything inevitably becomes corrupt. I agree that it is very idealistic for humanity. Greed is far too Irresistible.

Just because there have been no successful forms of pure communism, Doesn’t mean we can start calling China actual communism. That’s changing where the bar is.

China is SINO or, CINO I suppose in this context.

OK, provide some citations that argue against those, or… Don’t respond

China has pushed huge numbers of people into poverty in different ways over the decades — the Great Leap Forward basically wrecked agriculture and caused a massive famine, the Cultural Revolution tore apart schools and workplaces and left tons of families with nothing, and long-term policies like the hukou system kept rural migrants stuck in low-income situations even as cities got richer. On top of that, big relocation projects for dams or new city districts have displaced whole communities with compensation that often didn’t match what they lost, and pollution from rapid industrialization has hit farmers and fishers hard. Outside China, some Belt and Road projects have piled unsustainable debt onto poorer countries, aggressive fishing in disputed waters has squeezed local fishers in Southeast Asia, sudden trade restrictions have hurt industries in neighboring economies, and resource extraction deals abroad have pushed aside local communities.

You can say we are out of touch with reality but that does not make your reality actual reality. To be a communist country you cannot have billionaires. If you have billionaires then not everyone is equal. That is the end of the conversation

I would agree with you on the information control that China has, however I would not call them Communists. They are definitely capitalists. It’s just capitalism without the perceived freedom lol

They have also put millions into poverty.

Sorey, what country do you think this is?

There needs to be a government to have a court to have judges to have prosecutors to have an express lane.

This crime will never be punished. The federal judicial system has shut down, and it’s unlikely to return for a few decades (if ever)

. . . . Right. And he’s killing (probably) random people on the street. Whereas Luigi gets no bond and he is accused of a targeted crime, and would be unlikely to “repeat”

You think maybe he burned the guys house down too?

“Quiet Piggy”

The grand jury returned the indictment Monday, and Ceja Alvarez remains free on a $200,000 bond.

And Luigi isn’t out on bond?

Finally, what?

Can I? I have no ability to hold them accountable. I would want to, but that’s not something that the government plans to do from now on.

How many days until this is NOT released in full do you need to finally side with me. 30? 60? 90?

I love the south/southwest. Just get rid of the people. 😅

Specific reasons being a blanket to redact whatever they want.

Don’t hold your breath, it won’t come out intact.

Republicans: how do we sell lava?
