It's not up to the USA to go around the world dictating what the economy, political system, society, culture and religion of other countries should be and if it insists on doing so then countries more powerful than itself might just decide to give it a dose of its own medicine and forcefully impose their vision of what capitalist utopia should look like upon the United States. Live and let live. The world is big enough for all of us.

Hasn't Oxbridge (and the Ivy League in the USA) always been like that, finishing schools for the privately educated?

@Zoloder Crufts, the canine equivalent, did the same. Like the Olympics and football, I wish the powers that be wouldn't force what in my opinion should be neutral and apolitical organisations to partake in their squabbling. It's so petty.

@Mohammed A The question of whether democracy is good or dictatorship is bad is never really discussed. It's just taken for granted that it they are. It's as if other cultures and societies and the value systems that they hold must all be the same. (And isn't it funny how democracy, liberty, freedom are always defined in ways that support the predatory capitalist‐corporatist system of Europe and North America, Anglo-American neoliberalism in particular.
