not only republicans after him :)

You know Beijing did not really great control over the lower branches.. Maybe that is XI's goal ? I dunno..

Communism does not work because

  • it kills initiative in most folks
  • it is far worse than democracy at concentrating power in the hands of elites
  • it promotes autocracy (corollary)

From the notebooks of Lazarus Long

Democracy is based on the assumption that a million men are wiser than one man. How's that again? I missed something.

Autocracy is based on the assumption that one man is wiser than a million men. Let's play that over again, too. Who decides?

When populations are small more folks have skin and a direct say.. Communism leads to autocracy, Democracy leads to inaction barring an imminent calamity... even then :) I am surprised at times that dithering is not a synonym for democracy :)

OK it's a gorgeous day.. heading off for some highway curves on the Harley, secondary country highways.. :)
