Do not confuse Technocracy with Socialism. While Chinese Technocracy is Socialist, Technocracy alone can be a massive problem.
They can both be bad.
They can but they aren't
Is it? Why is China "bad"?
Democracy is only as good as the voters. The average Chinese is better educated and a better citizen overall than the average USAmerican. Thus the difference in results. My experience with Chinese and USAians confirm this, even if anecdotal. I could have just missed the bad Chinese and was overexposed to bad USAians.
This, I would much rather take a full blown Monarchy if the Monarch was suitable then a Democracy full of subperson voters.
I am deeply concerned that this is getting worse, not better. I sincerely hope I'm totally wrong about this, but I see young "educated" Americans more and more being unable to think at all. The kids in university now are liberally using commercial LLMs to finish assignments. People are surrendering their ability to think to private corporations. Imagine in 10 years from now, a man who can't pay his AI bill can no longer survive on his own. And even if he could, he could only ever do what the corporate model deems acceptable. Just fully giving up agency because agency is friction.
I can't respond to this email without paying Sam Altman! I can't wipe my ass without Grok!
I'm drunk. I'm sorry. I hate what is happening, and I am helpless to stop it.
Also bourgeois/liberal democracy is the quintessence of adopting democratic aesthetics, forms, and language without any actual democratic function. No one can vote according to their interests, and no one's votes actually influence policy.
The reason most modern imperialist states have evolved their own form of liberal democracy is because of how effective it is at mediating domestic capitalist contradictions so they can be externalized.
If the US were somehow a true functional democracy it would have evolved beyond capitalism decades ago.
“To decide once every few years which member of the ruling class is to repress and crush the people through parliament - such is the real essence of bourgeois parliamentarianism, not only in parliamentary-constitutional monarchies, but also in the most democratic republics.”
― Vladimir Lenin, The State and Revolution
All governments are bad, what are you on about?
Bad for who? Criminals?
all anarchists are incoherent
I dare you to name a single government that can be trusted to do what's good for its people, bootlicker
