A social welfare bludgocratic democratic kleptocracy as in the so-called "free" world would not be a good idea. Well, trite but true. Let me try next... 1) A vicious dictatorship that launches another Great Leap Forward would not be a good idea. 2) A civil war between factions of the PLA using their most destructive weapons would not be a good idea. 3) A military coup and re-nationalization of private companies would not be a good idea. 4) A coup by radical nationalists who start a war with Japan, the Filippines and Taiwan would not be good idea. 5) An autocratic party using central planning to pick industrial winners and losers would not be a good idea. (that is, no change.) And, my point would be that none of these ideas are any more useful than the others.
