  • Oh, it certainly is a dictatorship, alright. But I’ll take free healthcare, free housing, and the like, over the capitalist hellhole that is the USA anytime.

    And if I choose, I would like that with freedom of speech too - freedom to be a communist, union organiser, or whatever. Freedom to criticise the government.

    Indeed, I think in this regard, it’s choosing between walking in Antarctica, and doing so in the scorching desert. Both kill you, just in different ways. While you can put up more clothes, you cannot strip yourself off with less than your skin, without dying at all.

    What I favour, is a society in where all are free from need, and free to criticise without hatred. Economic security is basic; and political freedom must come with it.

    That is why if I had to choose between all three (the US, China, and the Zapatists), I would elect the last; and if between the former two, China.
