So the type of food isn’t a major factor?
Another perspective.
How so?
You simply do not understand how corruption works.
Is that the way it works in the U.S.? Compared to your country whose government is masquerading as a Socialist authority.
And the ruling class has bribed the government. They set the bar so high using regulations and other things to keep out com-petition from entering. Thus securing their cartels and power.
What are you going to do about it?
I chose all my cabinet ministers. I elected the judges. I control the press. I let corruption happen all the way down the ranks so I can fucking have leverage or purge anyone when I need to.
You don’t want to play ball?
I can even start a fucking bidding war among all you evil corporate fuckers and go with the ones who will give me the most loot. Then I will get rid of the rest so you make more money and I get more loot.
What are you going to do?
The only thing you can do is get the military to stage a coup with the promise that one of the Generals will get to take my throne.
Nah. It’s not going to happen again. Not after Yuan Shikai. That motherfucker…
See? Leverage:
Is this socialism or authoritarianism? See the difference?
Several countries, including the Soviet Union and Maoist China have been described by journalists and scholars as authoritarian socialist states
Capitalists would rather pay no taxes if it was their decision solely.
So only Capitalist countries have welfare?
And Capitalism and Authoritarianism is not the way.
Having politicians represent the people and not the ruling class will go a long way.
