I wanna stress, im not in any way supporting authoritarian regimes. But that is one of the very very few advantages of a 1 party system, that the people in charge actually look at the long term impacts, because they will still be in power in 10-20 years. So they cant just bleed the country dry and then hand their mess over to the other party at the next election and have them deal with all the problems you created.
Lmao, I get your point, but the key part of that sentence is the other half.
They can absolutely bleed the country dry, they just don’t get to hand it off to the opposition to fix it afterwards. They either have to deal with the problem themvles or get deposed.
I think it was Argentina that is in a constant state of fake dictators that is bleeding the country dry. Literally nobody is fixing it. Humans are greedy.
Agreed. Lots of people in the US praised the chinese rapid response to covid and how it was able to staunch the spreads.
But like…they welded people’s door shut. They threatened normal citizens with bodily harm my guys. Being “good at covid” was a side effect of their one-party rule that we criticize every other year.
Authoritarianism is highly effective at making things happen, it’s just really REALLY bad at human rights violations since anything that gets in the way of the state is an issue.
