I like a comment like this. It's free of fear, and knee-jerk response. I actually see your point. Some people may feel a sense of peace by being tightly constricted by behavior that they're taught is OK to do, and what is not. In such a system, there's actually security in there. Some people love not having to decide how to live. But this is what trumps your thought: people in China wouldn't even be able to HAVE the conversation you and I are having right now (about this very meta topic, about how to organize ourselves) - and therein lies the problem. We objectively need certain individual civil freedoms, to even grow and develop as a society. So for humanity's future, China sucks. Its ideas are archaic, and its totalitarianism ISN'T the way to go.
