Have you ever experienced living in poverty? It is easier to say like this. But in reality, 99% of the people just want to live comfortably, even if that means that they are living under an authoritarian regime. Just go and ask the ordinary Venezuelans whether they would be willing to swap their passports with the Chinese. I am sure that 90% plus would opt for that. Go to any poor country, and you will get the same response. Democracy is essentially the dictatorship of the majority. So what makes it any different from the system that they have in China?
Well, if you tell those poor people everything about China, I am sure that they wouldn't opt for the passport to live there. Also, can you hear what you're saying? You are basically enabling authoritarian rule instead of the freedom for the people, we shouldn't side with any kind of government, we always should look out for the well being of the public and authoritarian regime isn't a cure, it's a cancer.
That could just be a bit of hyperbole for effect from @dezoel but hey, its a figure of speech goddamit.

"Democracy is the dictatorship of majority". Wow, where did you come up with that?

I am all in for a debate about how democracies are flawed and how Facebook and Cambridge Analytica is ultimately turning us into slaves of the elite. This does not mean that I am about to shun my right to shit on those people and ideas and leaders who try such trickery. I am not ready to give up my right to protest or express just because I'll apparently get more rice. I don't know what this "Poor people" "cleaning river" "Construct toilets" argument has to do with authoritarianism versus freedom of expression. Its not like democracies haven't lifted out people from poverty throughout history.

I think if a Chinese as much as mentioned Xi Jinping and Dick in the same sentence, he'd be rounded off to some unknown prison.

You may not be too far, (unless you meant Dick Cheney  Cheesy), but in the same time you're most probably somewhat inaccurate too.
I was kid in the last years of Ceausescu. You could read everywhere "Ceausescu si poporul" (Ceausescu and the people) and I just loved to rhyme it with "Ceausescu si toporul" (Ceausescu and the axe). While my parents were super scared every time I said that (and this kid was too small to understand why) and shushed me without explaining why, nothing has actually ever happened (luckily).

What I mean is although most probably the nation is full of informers, they won't care of just anybody without a tad more solid reasons.
Haha..Thanks for that beautiful piece of personal history NeuroticFish. I'd love to hear someone actually say that out loud. Rhyming "Axe" with the name of the General Secretary could sure have consequences, which explains why the elders sushed. It seems innocent to discuss these things now but when people are given more power than their egos can handle, it inevitably leads to disasters. I am glad nothing ever happened..

I had never heard of Ceausescu but co-incidentally, just last week, i watched "Legends" on youtube about Nadia Comaneci, the perfect 10 girl of gymnastics and there I saw a part where she met him after the Montreal Olympics. So i could recall the name about him being from Romania and Nadia defecting to the USA.

Everyone has a high degree of attention to China, and I often see the keyword "China" on forums. Why is this?
Thats what we've been trying to ask the CCP wolf warriors...lol..

No country is perfect. We can learn from their advantages and improve our shortcomings.
It's just that the government personnel of every country are above the top and feel that their policies are fine and they don't know how to improve.

Guys there will ALWAYS be sinotrolls around the world, even in bitcointalk, do not really care for what they are saying. Do not forget, this is the same nation that kills you and your entire family if you ever go against the dictator at the top.

Clearly. But that still doesn't stop us from telling them that they're wrong, now and then. Else some may start believing them, you know...  Grin


Just because other nations suck, doesn't change the fact that China is the worst nation in the entire world, even worse than Russia.

Here I think that you are wrong. There are much worse in this world, countries with stronger dictatorship or internal wars for decades.

I rather live in Venezuela being in poverty and starvation than live in China if they paid for everything I need and then more, a mansion as a slave is worse than a hut as a free person.

In USA there are tons of horrible things, it is not a good nation to live in by many many standards, you end up paying 5k dollars (median average income is 58k so nearly 10% of your entire year worth of salary) just for a root canal for your tooth, it is really horrible but I can yell as hard as I can to the face of president FUCK JOE BIDEN and nothing will happen to me, we just had 4 years of saying Fuck Trump on TV and nothing happened, go ahead and try to do that on China and see what happens, you will be executed at best, your entire lineage will be executed probably.

Haha...I really needed someone to say this. I am not from the US but out here, we always see the best AND the worst of America out in the open. There are movies about how sick and violent some people were. How racist and white supremacists can some be. How Blacks and other minorities can be targeted or how they can sometimes be just hard MoFos dealing drugs, lol..

Then there is that beautiful side of it. The one where a small, immigrant family can make big. Where people will get together and recognize the sacrifices and contributions, will help a little child and do their best to alleviate pains of others. All of those things have come from that country. And LMAO about "Fuck Trump". I mean Jimmy Kimmel actually had Stormy Daniels talk about how small of a dick the president had. I think if a Chinese as much as mentioned Xi Jinping and Dick in the same sentence, he'd be rounded off to some unknown prison.

So when these people come over here and tell the people living under actual free governance about, "Ohh but your rivers are unclean", its really just laughable. I mean that is not even the point. These people just don't understand what "Spirit of freedom" even means.

Your language and comprehension coupled with your over-confidence makes it nearly impossible to have a debate but we try to be as open to ideas on this forum as possible. It seems that you have also gone on to cry about discrimination in Meta, so I'd like to convince you that none of this is about discriminating against you as an individual but about the philosophy you are trying to propagate.

Keep in mind that brain washing works full power on such countries and there's a high chance that he indeed believe all he says.


You will never convince the free people of the world, much less bitcoiners, that an optimal method of scoial governance needs an over-arching central authority "managing" the best for everyone else.

Indeed.
@The Ghoul: bitcoiners' mindset is on "don't trust, verify". That's hugely opposed to what your way of thinking, since you didn't care to check all you say from multiple sources (I know that it may not be easy if you live in China). I won't also say that you should check, since ignorance is a bliss and your life in your country may be easier if you don't question "them".


I repeat again, nobody hates the fact that the Chinese people are better off than they were a few decades ago. We just have a certain dislike for propagandists from the Middle Kingdom who have been lately trying pretty hard to convince the rest of the world that they aren't wolves in sheep's clothing.

I second this. Big time.

Your reply to my point about idiomatic usage of "All people are free to vote and express" in context of democracies just shows that your brain is unable to even comprehend democracy. Like i said earlier, lets leave it at that. You have already shown your true colors with expressions like "Stupid people with their stupid votes" etc., so there really is no need to elaborate on that. I will still address your typical CCP tactic of trying to target democracies for their internal problems. You clearly are up to date with your handbook of "talking points" with various nationalities. If its India, talk about Ganges and population and toilets. If its USA, talk about racism and BLM riots and Iraq.

That rhetoric and whataboutery adds nothing to the debate of Freedom vs Communist Control. Like I said in my previous post, the free people of the world can see through the Chinese agenda of trying to portray their "system" as superior. The world has been through this charade multiple times. Stop jailing your businessmen for "picking quarrels" and maybe we'll talk.
You didn't answer my question.Since you can't answer the above complicated questions, I will ask you some simpler questions.If you propose that your country repair toilets, will it be effective?If you propose to clean up the Ganges river, will this proposal pass?If you propose to increase the punishment for raping women, will this pass?
I didn't address your country specific questions because that is really whataboutery (go search what that means), when we were  talking about the preference people have for free societies like democracies rather than controlled, curtailed, image management dependent societies like China or the erstwhile communist countries.

Still, because you insist, you should know that you have heard about above issues because the leadership has actually tried to address them and they are making considerable progress. I said in my very first post that Democracies aren't perfect and there are times when we ourselves jostle with the fact that decision-making can be so cumbersome and implementation can often be so far away from actual plans. Just look at the ongoing twists and turns in the US Senate about the crypto bill. A lot depends on the leadership at various levels and people get to choose depending on their performance. Sure the process can be slow.

This does not mean that China, with its system of suppression and controlled governance is the only country in the world that has progressed. Higher growth and happiness has been seen by several democracies historically. Just because China did well in the last decade is no proof that the system of suppressing free speech and controlling people isn't reprehensible.

People who live in democracies will never like a system in which they are assigned points for their behavior and businessmen are incarcerated for so much as even attempting to criticize the supreme leader or party. That thought is just alien and repugnant to the free mind.

I repeat again, nobody hates the fact that the Chinese people are better off than they were a few decades ago. We just have a certain dislike for propagandists from the Middle Kingdom who have been lately trying pretty hard to convince the rest of the world that they aren't wolves in sheep's clothing.

You tell half-truth here, you conveniently forget people from certain regions and people who don't agree with the views of the party. And that is called shameless propaganda.

...And then you go on Meta and cry about discrimination?!
That's not nice. Not at all...
Is there discrimination in the forum

Sir.I even added a link to this post in the Mate section. I don't think I conceal any facts.

I just want to discuss my topic through this matter.
It's not like getting sympathy. I don't need to do this either.

China is implementing the path of socialism with Chinese characteristics. In China’s eyes, there is actually not such a strong class struggle. China needs to develop, and China will use all methods suitable for China to develop.

~snip~

Interesting theory. Perhaps that could make Chinese's "suffering tolerance" extremely high, thus revolt only happened at the very last.

“suffering”?If it makes my life better and better, I would rather “suffer”.Not unemployed at home.

Is it? You rather go here?

Even though the crackdowns occur continuously and get severe punishments, it seems that the corruptors are always looking for loopholes to commit corruption.
Do you seriously think Xi Jinping and his inner circle will commit a suicide?

but we can see big countries such as China that carry out a communist system, where equality for the entire population is going well.
Really, how do you know? Based on data given by CCP? There's lack of openness there, garbage in, garbage out.

Communism in China had raised their country at top position with respect to business, and integrity of their competition along with other countries who developed quality products.
Repeat this mantra: "Cheap product from cheap/slave labour." Definitely not quality.

They become a strong country because the government is very serious about eliminating corruption, the death penalty for corruptors certainly makes the government clean And investors are not afraid to invest in China.

USSR dissolved in 70 years, but CCP now marks its tight grip for 72 years. Are we heading to the endgame of CCP? Maybe, because of covid. The problem with communism/socialism is always about the economy where the higher up corrupt as fuck enriching their inner circle, and the ordinary people remain poor (yes, 1st world countries also have corruption problem, BUT it's not as severe as China). Add it with no freedom of speech and stuff, including covid as the accelerant, literally will make suffering to the max.

Humans can break with a particular level of suffering, and once they break, the government will collapse.

The thing is.... the Chinese culture is so disciplined that they will not rise up to stop this. If things like this happened in Western countries, people will rebel against it and they will vote against the ruling party to remove their power, but this is sadly not happening in China.  Sad

Let's not forget that we are dealing with a country with the oldest civilization in the world.... they should be teaching us how to be successful and we should be learning from their mistakes.  Roll Eyes

I doubt if the CCP or their economy will collapse or end anytime soon.  Roll Eyes
Indeed they had everything to be put in power as well as controlling their economy within their desired standards. Communism in China had raised their country at top position with respect to business, and integrity of their competition along with other countries who developed quality products. Though the underlying issues they're facing right now about the low paying job for their countrymen, leaked but no confirmation yet from their leaders because media can't scrutinize deeply due to no democracy.

Your interpretation of those two sentences above as "contradictory" is just indicative of your communist background. You are finding it hard to understand the idiomatic usage of "All voices are allowed space", when talking about Freedom of expression in the context of Democracy as opposed to the controlled flow of information and Party high-handedness in such matters in your communist utopia.


Please elaborate on your logical line of thinking. I don't know how you reasoned from A to B. If you do not have Alzheimer's disease, please edit your words again.

the idiomatic usage.Hearing you say that, I can probably understand your mentality as a far-right stubborn person.Others include: habits, management, tradition, and don’t change are all commonly used words in your mouth.

I haven't "corrected" myself. Its just idiomatic usage that I wouldn't expect a CCP puppet to understand. You are forgiven for your ignorance. Lets move on.
Mention idiomatic usage again.Dear members of the extreme right. Do you wash your hands before eating curry every day?

doesn't mean that...,means that....Wow, you tell me that this sentence pattern is not correcting something? I suggest you go to kindergarten again.

I don't know what you mean by "extreme liberalism in your mouth". From my understanding of the playbook of CCP handles like yours, I guess you are trying to strengthen your argument by quoting the constant Conservative vs Liberalism debate of western democracies as some sort of weakness.
Of course you don't understand, you have been brainwashed by Western capitalists.

The country is regarded by you as a passive thing. Its function is the function of the "police" and the function of the "night watchman". In addition to maintaining social order, the country should not control too much.However, the result of this laissez-faire view of the country in practice is that freedom has become the privilege of a few people, and monopolistic organizations have become the masters of society.


Quote
No it isn't. Those in power everywhere have always looked for ways to exploit cheap labor enabled by the masses. Capitalism looks for reducing costs and optimizing profitability doesn't mean that the Chinese haven't exploited labor.

Since this is a common problem in various sovereign countries, please do not attack a certain country.You are forgiven for your ignorance. Lets move on.

First, remember the axiom:
Old age is not equal to wisdom! Over the years, dementia comes more often than wisdom!
 
Second, the east is a delicate matter. And if now the Communist Party of China can restrain the will of the people by force and repressive methods, then as history has shown more than once, the people's patience is not eternal, over the years discontent tends to accumulate, and so on to a critical mass. And then hundreds of millions of people will not be stopped by an army of millions, not by the precepts of Mao ... And yesterday's leaders will be stoned on the squares and roads. Most likely, they (the Communist Party) will not come up with anything better than to distract the people and raise the degree of patriotism with some kind of "small victorious war", For example, for the return of their historical lands ... This may still give 10-20 years of a moderate regime

What you worry about will control you

3. Their goal is communism. In Marx's introduction to communism:
Quote
communism is a political viewpoint and ideological system, its birthplace is in Germany. Today's communism is based on Marx and Engels. Communism advocates the abolition of the private ownership of the means of production, the establishment of a society without class systems, exploitation, and oppression, and the realization of human self-liberation. It is also a society of socialized collective production, which will unite in the face of evil forces. The communists believe that in the future, all class societies will eventually transition to a communist society in which each will do its best and take each one's needs, and the ideology of human society will enter an advanced stage. I think this is a wonderful world.
The Chinese people believe in Marxism, but at present they are only at the initial stage of socialism. It is very difficult to truly transform to communism, and it may not be possible to truly realize communism.

They have the highest production rate of the different things sold for a cheap price.
People have jobs but that's it. You can't really get rich doing the daily job given to you. And there will be problems like health if you are working in a factory or other chemical manufacturing industry.
It will not take long before a civil war will happen. People of China will get exhausted about their daily repeated lives without the freedom to choose what they want to do. It looks good on the outside being on top of the production industry but it stinks on the inside with high labor and low salary.

China has controlled its large population ever since its holding its communist ideology. It's true there is a high level of corruption but its people do not protest about it because they know what will happens if they do so. As long as a countries economy is doing well and people are not starving to death they won't make any movements for collapsing the government in a country like China.
