- jeffreyrogers 4y agoHow would that explain it? Past authoritarianism seems a poor predictor of social mobility in the modern world.
- the_gipsy 4y agoWhy?
- jeffreyrogers 4y agoBecause if you look at the countries that have high social mobility many of them have had authoritarian governments in the past/present. Japan, China, and Germany are the most obvious examples.
- UncleOxidant 4y agoGermany had a fascist past as well.
- yunohn 4y agoIndonesia was colonised by Europe for centuries (1). If anything, that would explain the poverty and difficulty in eradicating inequality, than a few years of “fascism”. (1) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_Indonesia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_Indonesia
