@deadbutmoving No. You should understand that different parts of the world have different politics BECAUSE they are different. The US has a constitutional, federalized, flawed-democratic system that is vulnerable to domestic unrest. Russia has a highly centralized system that is needed to influence the entire civilization. Japan has a democracy that functions better than the US (even though it was implemented by the US) because the Japanese people are adaptive yet conservative. And China has -- not communist -- but authoritarian capitalistic socialism that is important because it fuels the GDP growth. The centralized appearance helps to demonstrate authority which is needed for the state to distribute the "prosperity" to poorer regions.

And Churchill called Russia "A riddle wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma". Wonder what he would of said about modern China.

@deadbutmoving Or in short, political science is more complicated than that.

@warren5037 China is unique in the same way that Chinese Bureaucracy is unique. From the Early Qing to Xi Jinping, China has always held a solid, centralized posture, while actually suffering from the immense size of the population. More ppl = more govt employee = more govt branches = less control. Not understanding this makes you the ignorant and naive one.

@deadbutmoving As Black American, I have the right to state what type of nation I live in -- from experience. The world is an unequal place but you are letting that control you. It isn't the governments of the world but the society that are plutocracy. China deals with this by sticking to its socialist roots to redistribute wealth as much as it can. US struggles with corruption and campaign contributions, reforming its welfare, and living with a stimulated economy. You claim I am naive but the truth is -- you let disappointment consume your soul. You have even started denouncing democracy. You let your own heart down. You need to stop mistaking struggle as a static thing, when it is a dynamic living being. Please learn to mend your soul. If not you will be the thing you fear/despise the most. The world is a place that needs constant change and it can only change if people believe in change.
