Yes, they look good now, but that's because they have left the high-pressure work and entered the leisure stage. They have recovered to varying degrees. But when they just left office, they all had obvious signs of aging, such as age spots, white hair, wrinkles, eye bags, etc. the president is indeed a high-pressure work.We don't. And Trump is just four years younger. That four years meant a lot in high school but after 30, not so much.
Obama looks great for 58. Clinton is 73 and been out of office for 20 years. He bounced back from bypass surgery and is very healthy still running everyday. Better shape than when he served. I don't know about Bush.
You may have misunderstood what I mean. I don't mean that the civil rights movement is wrong. I mean that the civil rights movement is used by the upper class. They secretly catalyze in the civil rights movement groups and seek political interests for themselves. However, all this has nothing to do with the civil rights movement, because the upper level only cares about what they can get, but not what the lower level people want Get what.Big Difference:
Civil Rights Movement led to big changes that made life better for all Americans. Each time we have a movement here, we move closer to better a Union. This is our history. It goes back to the beginning, when white men without ownership were barred from serving or voting in some state. Women, could not own property at one time in some states and had to marry in order to get their birthright. Blacks and Chinese were specifically excluded from society. Each group fought, it was ugly but prevailed in bringing the ideal of this country to a more accurate demonstration.
Any political system has both advantages and disadvantages, because society always changes and evolves with the development of science and technology and the improvement of productivity. If any political system wants to play its due role, it must follow the social changes for self evolution, otherwise it will fall behind. Once the political system falls behind the social needs, there will be social unrest, followed by the decline of the country Back.You say you don't advocate Soviet Style Communism. Is here another style you support?
I think the best thing the Chinese government has done is to attach importance to history and learn from the history of the whole world.It's interesting, because it has billionaires and wealthy powerful people, but the state apparatus and party still wield tremendous power over the wealthy in China (up to and including disappearing people no matter how rich they are).
This is maybe an advantage over the US and most of Europe, where billionaires can get away with pretty much anything, and exercise control over the media and to a large extent the state itself.
As for the topic of speech and freedom, I don't want to arouse your anger. I can only say that it has something to do with culture. The Chinese people are born to pursue order, stability is more than everything, and they hate everything related to chaos.The main disadvantages that China faces are of course the lack of democracy and the lack of free expression, to the point where the world is pretty worried about what's going on.
Brain drain? Perhaps for the sparsely populated West, China's talent abroad is a serious brain drain.And it seems like people get out as soon as they're able. I've gone to the top colleges and worked in top companies in the US and Europe and always had fantastic Chinese friends and co-workers. I believe that's what we call a "brain drain".
So much to unravel here. I'll try to be flashcard brief.Yes, they look good now, but that's because they have left the high-pressure work and entered the leisure stage. They have recovered to varying degrees. But when they just left office, they all had obvious signs of aging, such as age spots, white hair, wrinkles, eye bags, etc. the president is indeed a high-pressure work.
How energetic trump was during the campaign, but now even his first term is not over. Look at trump now, everyone can see the fatigue in Trump's body.
Once you reach the age of 70, it's hard for your body to bear the burden of high-pressure work.
You may have misunderstood what I mean. I don't mean that the civil rights movement is wrong. I mean that the civil rights movement is used by the upper class. They secretly catalyze in the civil rights movement groups and seek political interests for themselves. However, all this has nothing to do with the civil rights movement, because the upper level only cares about what they can get, but not what the lower level people want Get what.
If they cared, it would have been solved long ago, but the unrest in the society was still passionate, suggesting that no one would deal with it until the upper echelons got what they wanted.
So we can wait and see, when the upper layer starts to come forward to solve the problem, it must be when their pockets are bulging.
At that time, their faces must be full of kindness and friendly smile, and then tell you: Oh, we heard your voice, we saw your suffering, so we came to save you.
At this time, everyone will be grateful for the tears, kneel down to kiss their shoes, thank them for their salvation, and forget the indifference of those people when the suffering happened.
This is the reality.
Any political system has both advantages and disadvantages, because society always changes and evolves with the development of science and technology and the improvement of productivity. If any political system wants to play its due role, it must follow the social changes for self evolution, otherwise it will fall behind. Once the political system falls behind the social needs, there will be social unrest, followed by the decline of the country Back.
In history, countless countries perished because of the disaster caused by the backward political system. This is the experience that history provides us.
Back to the topic of Soviet style communism, the advantage of Soviet style communism is that it can play a huge role in the early stage of national development.
This advantage can be reflected in Stalin: the Soviet Union that Stalin took over was a farming country full of harrowing ploughs. By the time Stalin handed over the Soviet Union, it was already an industrial country with atomic bombs, which was the advantage of Soviet style communism.
I know that Stalin's reputation is not much better than Hitler's, but for the Soviet Union, Stalin is a great man, and no one can ignore his achievements, just as Mao Zedong meant to China.
However, with the leap forward of science and technology and the substantial improvement of productivity, the resource allocation system and economic system of Soviet style communism began to fall behind the social needs of the Soviet Union seriously, so the Soviet Union began to have problems, the society began to be turbulent, the economy began to slide, and the signs of various disasters were constantly emerging.
However, the Soviet leaders still stick to the old system without changing themselves. Maybe they want to change, but they don't know how to change.
Finally, the "shock therapy" covered the coffin of the Soviet Union, and a superpower disappeared.
This is what happens when the political system falls behind and does not change in time.
The collapse of the Soviet Union provided valuable experience for China, so China's policies always changed with the society, so that no one could understand Chinese style communism and even the Chinese themselves could not explain it clearly.
Some people ask if China still has communism? To be honest, I don't know. At least China claims to be Communist, and we can only believe it.
Even if it's just a name.
It seems that you have misunderstood my message.So much to unravel here. I'll try to be flashcard brief.
I'm not a believer of of secret groups all working for a common cause over an even larger group. Conspiracy theory. Looks good in paper and believable to just enough people but nothing of real substance. I say the civil rights movement was an absolute success and did more to move Americans forward that any other event on our soil, sans the American Revolution. I can point to 100 real things that improved not only the lives, but the generations of people that followed. What small elite cabal do you propose benefited more from that? And, when people in this country protest the government, they're not showing up with their hat in their hands begging for crumbs. They're demanding equality in some manner or another.
In my opinion, communism, socialism or capitalism are just a name. They have no meaning. What is meaningful is only the policies you implement, and they must meet the needs of the current society. Otherwise, there will be problems.Communism.
When discussing political systems, we have to come to an agreement on the definition of politics. I go with the popular but simple, Politics is deciding who gets what. You're dividing up finite resources (finances, permits, land, etc) through governing.
Of course communism looks good at first, the governing body takes all production and divides up the resources to an acceptable even amount. However, eventually, someone asks for more. What can I do to get more? Another sees that, and wants more than that. Black markets appear. A political favored class rises. And, the breakdown of communism begins.
This is why Vladimir's two decades of presidency can only stabilize Russia but not save the economy.
Vladimir is undoubtedly an excellent national leader, but Russia is too sick. If we want to cure this disease, we must overthrow the entire Russian plutocracy and re plan resources, but Vladimir can not.
Not quite the same. Vladimir himself was not an oligarch. When he first ascended the throne, he had to unite a small number of small chaebols and some of his political partners to crack down on the oligarchs left over by the Soviet Union.Vladmir was part of the oligarchs that profiteered from taking ownership of national industries as favors from the Gorbachev administration when the Soviet Union was breaking up.
He's exactly what you talked about China trying to avoid -- a rich person taking over the political system to enrich himself and a few supporters. Russia has not benefitted from a move to a "free market" economy exactly because of people like _Putin.
I would not think that China had any respect for such a bandit.
My position on democracy is quite different from that of Westerners.Not meaning to break anybody's bubble, but neither US democracy or capitalism are anythings we should be bragging about right now. Neither are performing as they should.
What I said scared you?View attachment 3471953 hummmm ... I'll have to think on your last post there ... guimoyingji
I don't think that the United States can become Chinese style pragmatism and authoritarianism. You don't have to worry about it. Before that, those American plutocrats will try their best to ******* any possibility of pragmatism and authoritarianism, because pragmatism and authoritarianism are the natural enemies of any plutocracy and oligarchy.We're going to have Chinese authoritarianism without Chinese pragmatism and competence.
Before that, I was naive to praise the governors of the United States for being more capable.
Yes, I didn't hide my identity.That's how I know you are indeed a Chinese living in China.
Asian Americans never think like you.
Even someone with 2, 3 years in the US won't say this.
I personally think you can find more competence in a den of ******* dealers than in Congress.
Yes, I didn't hide my identity.
I just think that there is a political section in a pornographic website, which makes me a little curious. I wonder what political topics do you have on pornographic websites? Erotic politics? A new form of pornography?
So I started talking to you.
