      You slayed me so hard, metaphorically. Now answer the question:

      Would you rather live under the rule of socialist China, or capitalist America?

      If you don’t want to answer it, that’s fine. But maybe think about what that means.

        I don’t live under and don’t want to live under either, because I am a radical anarchist and don’t believe in states or borders. So, I did kind of answer your dumb, misdirecting, whataboutist false dichotomy with my first reply. Hope you are happy with the answer. It’s bedtime now.

          Was that difficult? I understand, that would be my view too. But as an anarchist, if it was a binary choice, and it might be, I would reluctantly choose to live under socialist Chinese rule. They are not perfect. But they at least have nationalized healthcare and house their homeless. That’s how I know I am a leftist. But labels don’t really matter when lives are concerned.
