Just saying that the whole "clean the toilets" talk is making me think of a highly militaristic society where everyone just grabs the buckets and brooms and starts cleaning the offices at the end of the work week.

just because something is regimented doesn’t mean it’s militaristic. I don’t think they make Japanese students clean the schools to prepare them for the SDF or anything

Is it strange that I look at China and am jealous of a government that does things?

What you need to be jealous of is not the CCP but the Chinese people and China itself

not in some stupid liberal sense, but because ~despite~ not being a liberal democracy, the CCP knows that their authority does not stem from the Mandate of Jefferson or even brute force but from having at least a general sense of approval from the Chinese people overall, who are in small and large groups willing and able to actually gently caress poo poo up if the government doesn't work for them. the real difference between America now and the America of the New Deal Era is not simply that american capital has won a greater share of power, but that structurally, capital just really doesnt need the consent of the american people at all anymore

I remember some guy in one of the old China threads complaining about how the Chinese doctors recommended massage or some TCM herbal ointment for his back pain. He was ranting about how insane it was that Chinese people were gullible enough to believe in poo poo like TCM and how he couldn't wait to get back to the states to see his Chiropractor.

Even for legitimate allopathic medicine our back care is poo poo. Acupuncture beats out some back surgeries for results (the ones they’ve studied they don’t outperform placebo lol [also check out knee debridement for surgery laffs])

The ideal vision of American government has always been one that's basically impotent anyway.

Libs are so obsessed with rules-lawyering they don't even stop to question the privatization of the Olympics and how that cucks their own government. Because it's a status quo condition, it's legitimate.

Not that it matters much, but Stalin was IMO the worse of the two. Hitler was lawful evil and his evil system had clear enemies and rules an average citizen could play by. Stalin's rule devoured (in addition to regular enemies) his own allies, military commanders, artists, and entirely random people. It was a paranoid hell with no rhyme or reason, from which Russia still carries an unseen burden.
