It maybe was not democratic, but its pretty hard to complain about your rulers if they transformed a poor small town into one of the richest places in the world, with pretty much every freedom of a comparable western democracy arguable in many aspects more free.
Exactly how were the people not free, in the 1980s?
Do you think its impossible to have freedom without local democracy?
- free_rms 6y agoThat's actually how a lot of mainland Chinese feel about their government, and I can sympathize with them to an extent. But it doesn't undo other things about their government, it's just a fuller picture. Same applies to UK colonialism.
