China, on the other hand... still in the grip of fascism, and the fall from that is never easy.

I wonder if their communism is just a version of the same bureaucracy that's been around for, oh, 3000 years or so.

Noooo, absolutely not. The Brits stole a march on the French by opening up schools, colleges and other such institutions to teach and encourage English as the *giggle* lingua franca for the mid-late 20th century. Whether it'll still be in such good form depends, for the most part I feel, on India and Pakistan.

Weird, huh?

And nukes. Let's not forget nukes. Lovely little attention getter, aren't they?

I think there was a tad more going on than whipping.

Healthy kids were forced to play with TB infected kids, beating so severe they ended up in deaths, sterilisations without consent, etc, etc...

It really makes me feel sick.

Then I see idiots on British TV saying our Empire was benign. Not good.

Rapes, starvation. Yeah, it's true. Wasn't just British, it was immigrant Poles, Germans, Scots here in Canada too.

Maybe, given the US's antipathy to Carter.

Very cute.

*raises telescope to blind eye socket*

I see no serious debate. I see posturing. (and sparkles)

True, but posturing will swing some money in the right direction.

Agrarian spaceflight?

Go, Daisy! Go!

MOOOOOOOOOOOOooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo......................

Nice. Make the cow really jump over the moon!!!

Representative democracy is a complete sham in most industrial nations, tbh.

I honestly believe that any form of first past the post in a population of more than a few million is tyranny. With single transferable vote PR, maybe 20m is the tariff.

Almost all nation states as currently formed are antiquated, creaking structures that need to be broken up into parts that govern themselves for the most part - under a supra-national body.

Not sure how that fits with my anarchist lilt.

So, does the UN have a chance as the supranational state?
