    Who is doing so much better though? It seems like most countries have similar issues and it’s not really a West vs East thing. Costa Rica seems like one of the nicer places to live in the world right now, but it’s a “Western” country and it’s also tiny.

    I look at Eastern countries like Korea and Japan and see a ton of problems with workers being abused and authoritarian legal systems. Better than the US in some ways but worse in others. I would rather live in the US despite the worse healthcare cause I don’t want to work 12 hours a day.

      US labour law exists in spite of democracy, not because of it. Also, I think it’s hard to argue that Korea and Japan aren’t Western democracies (in that, they value Western democratic ideals and structure their governments around the Western concept of democracy).

      China ended absolute poverty within their borders. That’s 800 million people in a 40 year period.

        You’re a fool. CPC / CCP did no such thing. Plenty of starving homeless people in China to this day and zero social safety net.

          Tell me you haven’t been to China without telling me you haven’t been to China
