Can’t Murica do the same thing for financial criminals like Bernie Madoff? Also how do I include the amerikkka emoji?
2008 was caused by bankers doing extremely illegal shit. How many people were imprisoned for it?
They could do it. But they don’t want to. The difference here is that in the west the financial elite are the ruling class and the proletariat are under the boot. In China the proletariat are the ruling class and the bourgeoisie are under the boot.
In China the proletariat are the ruling class
Slightly unrelated but your comment makes me wonder, are they though? The President of China hasn’t changed in ten years and while that in of itself doesn’t imply wrongdoing, China DOES have a one party election system. Can we really call that the rule of the working class, or even a free democracy for that matter?
proletarian dictatorships tend to have long-ruling leaders who are symbols of proletarian power that the masses can concentrate around and trust, because they have proven their allegiance in the revolution. Every proletarian state has had long-serving heads of state.
Democracy isn’t “when leader changes a bunch”. That just means a volatile system, or a system where the leader doesn’t matter anyway and is just a rotating door.
Yes.
Term limits are neutral as far as democracy is concerned
One proletarian party is more democratic then N bourgeois parties.
The President of China hasn’t changed in ten years
Germany had the same president for 16 years. Canada had the same one for 9.
Maximum term limits in the US is eight years
What the fuck are you talking about? Free democracy is when your leader changes every two years?
