Try leaving your backyard for once. The Chinese government's only interest anymore is bettering the lives of its own people.

Chinese are even more fucked up than Americans in my limited experience. Once went with a group to the Great Wall/Forbidden City/Terra Cotta Warriors which were awesome, but there were child beggars EVERYWHERE. Tour guide said don't give them money, they've been kidnapped and abused and the money you give them goes to the kidnappers and they'll only do it more if you give them money.
You're not the brightest crayola in the box are you? Do you have any idea what state Korea was in before North Korea became an established state? It was in ruins, essentially the dark ages, and then it locked itself from society. Try locking a 2 year old kid in an attic for 40 years and see what happens. You get North Korea.
Hitler changed the country into a Fascist state and German's followed suit. Enough said.
there's your problem.
china has a negative view of those who beg for money and put generalized labels on them. there is essentially 0 unemployment program here. you either work or you work. if you don't fit into one of those classes you fucked up somewhere in life.
also, i have not seen a single child beggar the whole time i've been in china. i've seen older people and disfigured people, but not a single person who looked under the age of 40. there's a lady that sits in front of a mall down the road of me everyday since i've been coming here (2 years ago) with a sign that says will sell daughter to save son. that's about the most intense one i've seen.
Hey I'm a socialist, but in all actuality the majority of my views are libertarian. Does that mean I'm a socialist? No, it means I labeled myself a socialist. That's like people calling themselves non-conformists when really they're just conforming.
North Korea is far from a socialist state, and anyone who thinks it is one is only doing themselves a disservice. Socialism doesn't take everyone's money when they are starving to death and build missiles with the money instead.
North Korea is an authoritarian dictatorship. Everything goes and everything is for the dictator. Far from a socialist country.
Again we tread into the territory of large coalition politics and small coalition politics. Small coalitions have to exist in a vacuum because if the people wise up they kill their leaders in a split second. Small coalition leaders begrudgingly become large coalition democracies because they are about to be hung in the town square, not because they 'see the light'. All of those assholes are socialists that kill their own people at will without much ado, much less due process. A democracy at least takes majority rule, if all the cards are played fairly (ahem). So what you are for is killing your own citizens and not having the ability to defend yourself against your oppressors. Cute. Stupid, but cute. Disarm the military and we can talk about disarming the citizenry.
