That will never, ever, ever happen. Dems love an oligarch just as much, if not more, than republicans. China is the only country that prosecutes wealthy criminals.

China is the only country that prosecutes wealthy criminals.

Unfortunately they also lockup anyone they just kind of don't like for any arbitrary reason.

Oh I agree, the US has taken a giant step toward the exact same fascist approach to government in the last few years

I was pointing out a difference in the way America does things. If I started listing things both have in common, the list would literally never end. Besides, the similarity is surface-level. China’s economy isn’t propped up by for-profit prisons

Well, then I hope you guys are ready for a revolution unless you're fine with a Blade Runner esc hellscape.

Don't worry, we won't get a Blade Runner-esc hellscape.

Because Blade Runner for a movie had to give us a fascinating world that was interesting that even as a hellscape there was a "Man, it'd be cool to be there."

No, our hellscape is going to be more like how fast food restaurants all look the same now, the corporate architecture version of taupe agreed to by committee.
