> the totalitarian government in China
Yes, except that it started to work out when China stopped to try to be a fully planned economy (that killed millions) and started to work towards a more free market economy where people had more choices on where, and how to work.
It's to be seen how the young Chinese, more educated and more ambitious than the previous generation is going to work with the still totalitarian part of their government.
- ur-whale 6y agoYou're conflating market freedom and individual rights. There are plenty of places (e.g. Singapore) where you had (still true today btw) very much of the first and precious little of the second and that can bee by many metrics regarded as great "social" successes.
