Western political systems, by design, are aiming to make government incapable and gridlocked, in order to prevent dictatorship, and usually do the job quite well - as it seems from the last by-elections, even a very determined would-be dictator with a wide support base, is failing at that.

This is what we want from the government - fuck off, and not get in the way. Sure, it has to tax us in order to keep the serfs from revolting, we understand this danger so are willing to chip in, but that's about it.

That was genuinely some of the worst analysis I’ve read in a long time. Almost every single point you made is fun house mirrors.

Like what? We're not copying the communist planned economy, nor will we ever facilitate a total autocracy. The West will never out-China the Chinese.
