Autocratic regimes have lasted for as long as 3000 years (pharonic Egypt).
I'm sure lots of people want to believe the Chinese system won't work; but that doesn't make it true.
- Laforet 8y agoAncient Egypt seems to be the exception in history. Such reliable agriculture and continued population concentration around the Nile are very peculiar situations that have no parallels elsewhere. If Egypt was truly superior, it really should not have been so easily conquered by Ptolemy and then Rome which both had a much less authoritarian society.
