I’m glad I’m not the only one who thought that

The same is not true of implementations of communism. Socialist states at their best implement systems that encourage the natural human drives for cooperation and compassion, and in the two largest cases, China and the Soviet Union, it led to the fastest gains in quality of life in history

Capitalism only works on paper, it doesn’t take human nature into account

Honestly that’s one of the smartest things I’ve seen a Republican say in a while. Russia would be a much more natural ally of the US if it weren’t for our weird leftover Russophobia

This is the one time where actually, but at what cost?

I fully believe China is the largest force for good in the world right now, so please don’t take this as bad faith. But they have a similar issue as several other nearby countries of school work being insane and far too competitive. They had to shut down private tutoring because nearly 90% of students were paying for private tutors because it was necessary to stay competitive.

To get into college you have to to take an exam that I personally believe the inventors of should be executed for child abuse. It’s 9 hours over 2 days, with security so tight you’d think it was a nuclear weapons facility. Kids work themselves to death studying in the months leading up to it. It’s unhinged and cruel, and personally I don’t even believe that colleges should have entrance exams, if you want to take college classes you should simply register for free, end of story.

Honestly, kids shouldn’t even have to study much at all outside of school. Teach the material properly in school, don’t expect students to miss out on their personal lives in order to keep up. It makes sense in college when you’re only in class like 15 hours a week at most, but high schoolers are in school 35+ hours a week, and you expect them to spend hours outside of school too? That’s insane.

Also to be clear this has nothing to do with socialism, as the other two best examples of this horrible overworking of students are Japan and Fake Korea

However, some US politicians are busy taking the case personally, believing the patrol is targeting the US.

Well that’s a silly point, this definitely was targeting the US, it’s just a valid and necessary target and actually followed the law unlike the US does.
