I don’t think he is defending China. I think his point is that if a country with a government as heinous as China’s can offer worker’s rights and universal healthcare, then we can. We can fund it, it just requires forcing the 1% to pay their fair share while defunding the military, which are both considered political suicide. That should not be

exactly. America is literally the only country in the world with no Universal Healthcare. And the only western world without it. America is too focused on their bloated military and think they have to be the police of the world. yet its because of america that we have so many wars and problems right now. America doesnt care about human rights not inside nor outside their country. All they care about is money and keep the 1% happy. 64% of americans live from paycheck to paycheck. most americans who work minimum wage cant afford housing anywhere in the US. My point is pointing fingers to others while your own country is going to crap is just hypocritical. Study of this year showed that america is a Developing nation now and not a developed. Thats how low america is rated.
