    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.
