    Use your imagination. There’s no need to accept disgusting disregard for human life, for any purpose. It makes no sense to act like they did something good. Stop idolizing the human predators of humans.

      Well we have two competing large economic systems at the moment. I don’t really have to use my imagination.

      It’s weird we only talk about “human rights abuses” when talking about designated bad countries. I’m sure that’s just a coincidence.

        Is “we” in the room with us right now? I’m me, not we.

            No, I don’t remember mentioning a specific country. In fact I recall condemning human rights abuses “for any purpose”, which means I don’t care who does it or why, it’s wrong anyway.

              They couldn’t accomplish it without mass human rights abuses. It’s nothing to be proud of and they’re certainly not a role model worth emulating.

              You said this in response to the point that planned economies in the USSR and China have accomplished quite a lot.

              So you said this in particular referring to those two countries.

                And those countries are guilty as described. However, they are not special in this regard. That’s why I don’t specify.

                Edit: Ohhh, I get it. You’re a tanky and you’re mad because I said something mean about your dictatorship of choice. Lol. Adios.
