Decadent and corrupt western systems versus socialist systems

 The sickness of western models and systems have been degraded and corrupted over the centuries and exposing their decadent and ugliness today when there is no more free wealth to distribute around. During the days of empires and colonialism, it was a time of plenty, and they lived very well, exploiting the wealth of their colonies and the world and was able to look pretty and good.

When the free wealth is slipping away, the rots are showing, and the average people just cannot keep up with the high cost of living and a system that favours the rich and powerful with no compassion for the downtrodden. Make it or be left behind. The societies are run and measured by money and wealth. With wealth and power, life is beautiful and worthy of living. Without them, life is miserable and unworthy of living. 

The noble profession of medicine has been commercialised and monetised to the point that only the rich can have the best treatment and medicare. In America, without medical insurance, human lives were not much different from stray dogs and cats. The rich can have the best medical care, based on ability to pay.

Housing, a basic needs, is not the responsibility of the govt. This problem is compounded by inflation, high cost of living and a way of life that preferred to rent than buy. This rental society is a deadly trap. Other than the rich, the income of the average Joe will diminish or come to an end with the passing of time. On the other hand, housing will only cost more with inflation. The average guy without a home, will be facing incremental and exorbitant rental fees at the last phase of his life when he has little income or no income. Homelessness is a guarantee for the average Joe that lives from paycheck to paycheck and with no savings.

The pretentious justice system, when justice is meant to be fair, is no longer true. Justice or fairness can be bought. To win a court battle is not dependent on truth and facts, but on the craftiness of the legal counsel to twist the facts and arguments to one's favour. A criminal or wrongdoer can walk out free if he can pay for a good counsel. The victim, the wronged party, cannot afford to pay for his rights and justice will see injustice staring down at him.

In America, not only counsels can be bought, judges too can be bought, when the President can appoint judges that are friendly to him. Have money and power and there is no fear of the law, can even use the law to bully and threaten enemies. Trump has committed all kinds of crimes, mass murder and genocide etc, but is still strutting around and committing more evil crimes around the world and likely not be brought to face justice in court. 

In international courts like the ICC, the organisation is nothing different from a kangaroo court run by self appointed bandits when power and politics determined right or wrong. This is how shameful the ICC has become, a tool to political power and state terrorism. 

Compare these to the socialist systems in China when the interests of the average guy, the well being of the population is the key mission of the govt. The key priorities of the Chinese system is to provide the basic needs adequately to all its citizens. Housing, medical care, cost of living, transportation, education, food and clothing, are carefully managed to be within the reach of the average people. The govt is always there to mitigate and moderate the cost of living of the people, to redistribute wealth to reach the wider population. Eradication of poverty and illiteracy, feeding the people, affordable medical care without paying an arm or a leg, no need to pay for hefty insurance premium, are all in place when extreme poverty and deprivation no longer exist. The Chinese people, having gone through centuries of hunger and deprivation, are now the best fed, best clothed, best housed and with the best and affordable medicare system, and are the happiest people in the world today.

The Chinese people can aim for the stars, to be the best they can, even if they came from very average families. The barriers of wealth and power in the western system have been mitigated and removed to allow more freedom and mobility to upgrade and move up the social ladder to a better life. This is a new model of govt and society, with a balance of govt intervention and free enterprise working together to improve the lots of the population, a balance that is continuingly being adjusted, an unending process of trial and error, with one prime objective, the well being of the whole population and society.

The Communist Utopia may be an idealistic goal, difficult or impossible to achieve, but getting closer to this goal is always an improvement process for a more just and fairer society for the greater good of greater people, not for the better good of a few. The Chinese system is working and getting better. The western system is failing and rotting, albeit, still very good for the rich and powerful.

Never try to correct your enemy when it is making mistakes. The decadent western system is beyond redemption, so let it be. China has no necessity to try to convert them to its communist ideology with democratic characteristics or whatever, as China has already moved forward from the democracy versus communism hubris. And showing the world who is better.

Strangely enough, even foreigners living in China and interacting with the Chinese people themselves are saying that the Chinese populace does not want the kind of democracy existing in the USA. That speaks volumes about how the Chinese view the democratic system of the USA. Honestly, with that in mind, do we honestly think a regime change is feasible inside China or just a figment of imagination of some delusional mind. I do not think they will even want to give regime change in China a try again after failing so many times before. Oh, they did try that in Hong Kong and Xinjiang recently anyway.

The West will never admit that China's communist system with democratic characteristics works better. What is the point of having elections to choose leaders every four years, when they are doing nothing to improve lives and just caring for the top 1% and helping them to corner all the wealth of the country. Calling an oligarchy as a democracy is the biggest lie and pulling wool over those 'dull of mind'. They are so happy with their vote, when they realistically could do nothing better with it. But the brainwashing has been so successful that changing it is a lost cause.
