^^^^ China is in many ways still a pre-industrial society. Also, their Socialist Scheme is not real, it is a scam. In America things will change when the poor realize that they need to strike back with lethal force.
^^^^ Skibum, there are all kinds of real work you could be doing, like helping to feed the poor at a local food bank.
I donate money to the food bank because they spend 99.8% of it on servicing their clientele. Mu goal in life is/was and always will be to party and go on vacation. I'll keep my job thanks and the idea ythat a lazy good for nothing who doesn't work is making job suiggestions is making me wonder if you are an impotent, vile, hate filled homosexual bottom like VH, or what ever the tranny losers calls herself nowadays. Maybe she is Dougie.
^^^^ Knuckle head, you don't know anything about me. So if you expect me to talk to your you have to keep it within the 4 corners of my posts.
I don't mind of you party and go on vacation, and keep your job. The issue is when you are insulting people who are poorer than you, or who have been squeezed out of the job's market. That is the line, beyond which I see you as good for nothing more than being a shooting range target.
One of our denial systems is Psychotherapy and the Mental Health System. These exist to denigrate the survivors of abuses, and to make them believe that they are the source of their distress, not the people who have taken advantage of them.
And of course our politics completely revolves around targeting poor people.
In china, if you don't work you die. If you work, you commit suicide. If your from a rich family, you don't work but shop to poverty. There's a lot of downers in China ain't it?
It used to be they talked about the Big Dragon, Japan, and then there being 4 mini dragons, Korea, Taiwan, Indonesia, Malaysia.
These Dragons are not really democracies. A better name for them is Capitalist Development State. They run on the idea that economic expansion and a commitment to experts is good for everyone. It is not.
Now China, whether it is Socialist or not, it is the Mega Dragon. Some people profit from the arrangements, but it is not universally good at all.
Where here in the US, we have received a Cold War Peace Dividend, and we have received a advanced technology divided, industrial, information, and agricultural technology.
Now these dividends are not in cash. They are in a vast productive ability. We already produce more than what is needed, in every kind of good and service.
So then trying to enforce the work ethic actually costs out society, rather than benefiting out society.
What has happened is that this Financialiser Class, along with this Retirement Industry, as emerged, and they have STOLEN our Peace Dividend and STOLEN the Advanced Technology Dividend.
And then the Work Ethic, a bogus ethic because everyone wants to do well and be respected by friends and family, this Work Ethic is like the religious idea of Original Sin. It is simply a way of denigrating working people. And the Financializers need this in order to be able to ride on their backs.
