"Developing countries are egalitarian"
I have to wonder what you think is meant by the words egalitarian and developing.
- Barrin92 9y agoI understand egalitarianism in real material terms. The ability to shape your own future as your wish, upward mobility, a fundamental sense of optimisim about your future prospects, and so forth. This is very much present in developing countries, whereas people in large swathes of the developed world seem to be preoccupied lamenting their own insecurities and limitations on all sides of the political spectrum. I think a good deal of Westerners would do well to spend some of their time in a developing country that is on the economic upswing if they still think that the rest of the world is lacking in political or cultural regards.
