While we’re at it.. Russia, China, North Korea, Israel also could use some dictator removal
@stux look, I'm antipathic to the PRC, but by what measure is Xi a dictator lmao?

@stux Is Xi a dictator? Sure they have a one party system but you have to do a lot of politics from your neighborhood branch through committees and policy centers even to get within the inner party sanctum and nobody does it without votes of the party. It's an incredibly complex system with layers of bureaucracy. Kim on the other hand is just this anointed despot. I guess China find that easier to control. They are arguably more democractic than the US. I hate to push CCP agitprop but it's true.

Basically every country other than Ukraine could probably do better when it comes to selecting a leader. Americans can at least count themselves lucky in having an extremely good chance of doing better next time.

@stux @trending_bot Why don't we just switch to a leaderless model?

@stux Crony politicians are secondary to the root cause problem, of those that control the most vital, root infrastructure, with their prime objective of greed.

@GeraintLlanfrancheta @stux It seems to me to be several orders of magnitude more difficult to become and stay leader in China than USA and part of it seems to be having to spend time in a Chinese gulag - the last three were 're-educated'. If you are 16 and want to be leader in 30 years you should be a student dissident today. Even Jack Ma found out there was no shining path.
