I say again: no TRUE Liberal would come within a mile of this. China is the sort of repressive regime that Amnesty International supposedly exists to oppose. They still arrest dissidents, they still operate gulags, and the mass of Chinese are still treated like serfs, as far as I can tell.
China is a class based society, like it always has been. “Communism” changed nothing, other than to remove all the traditional, palliating notions, like that the King enjoyed divine favor, and that there were heavens to go to after this world.
We can debate the existence of God, but “History” is plainly a fiction of academics like Marx who never left their studies, hated people, lied and cheated their way through life, and died miserable and pathetic human beings.
