The US has income based repayment plans for all federally guaranteed loans. By removing or changing the limits in the formula, which is likely what Trump did, people that were paying $50/mo might have to pay market rates for their repayment which is unaffordable to pretty much everyone.

With ibr your interest tends to not increase despite having a much longer repayment time, allowing you to, you know, live and pay your student loans instead of having to choose in most cases.

Incorrect, the barrier to entry for the government is much lower in China than say, the US or 'democratic' states. China doesn't arbitrarily kill citizens, their police aren't even armed. What does happen is they're arrested and sentenced to education and reform, which does include how to redress complaints. All public workers are unionized in China, and there is no barrier nor suppression of private unions in the private sector.

The state in China objectively isn't the capitalist class they don't own capital. With public ownership of the means of production (in any public sector industry) it is by definition socialist. By every definition socialist.

Your confusion on this matter comes from the fact western sources do not publish how the Chinese government works or how easy it is to become a member and participate. The state equals the people, anyone can join he government and take on the boring admin work, there are checks at every level to reduce corruption and no one person ever has absolute power. Technically "the evil dictator Xi Jinping" could be ousted with a single vote, or multiple lower regional votes. The same is true for all positions. Appointments are democratically placed, so corruption is minimal. 400 million people would have to be unified and absolutely corrupt for the state to be corrupt. And that's really hard to do. The US can't even get 100 million people to agree to any single thing.

China is still communist even if they allow non essential industries to engage in capitalism. The entire point of dengism is to prevent ussr syndrome and avoid collapse and temptation due to stupid shit. Over 60% of the economy by GDP including all essential services, is owned by the people. The private sector exists solely to grow technological and industrial capacity, and is shrinking year by year.

So independent no country in earth recognizes it as such, not even Taiwan.

That's a fine ideal to strive towards, an communism, including the Chinese government hopes to get there some day.

'recognize' is a weird word for 'delude'.

China raised more people out of poverty than any other government in history, and certainly more than any non government group. The amount of good they've done is truly amazing, with absolute minimal harm when honestly compared with their western counterparts.

Would it be better to not have any institution and have automated luxury gay space communism? Sure. But we're never getting there from a western society.

There was a shitty f2p MMO called GunZ online once upon a time. It was so badly programmed that glitches literally became the primary gameplay loop.

I loved it. For those few that could get into it, it was a unique heaven of fps and fighting game that filled a void an over caffeinated teen with nothing but hyper focus and time didn't know they had.

Also just ridiculously horny people.

Going full capitalism. I.e:

Investment: You sponsor another player for xx number of rounds with yy amount of money, resulting in yy/total value amount if shares in that player. The affected player can offer to buy back their shares early or pay a fixed amount with interest (like a loan) at the end of the xx rounds. If multiple players do this and collectively have a controlling share of a player, they get to choose what that player does every other round. Including selling off property or using kept cards.

Theft: like the official 'break the rules' version, you can physically steal from other players/the bank. If by the end of your next round no one has called you out, you announced it and can get away with it. Otherwise straight to jail and triple the value of what you stole goes to whoever caught you.

Slums: in exchange for reducing rent owed to you by another player, you can take one of their next dice rolls and add it to your own in your following round, or just trade movement for rent in general i.e. they can't move their next round in exchange for not paying you rent.

Privately owned utilities: if you own both the utilities you can take a percentage of all rent paid at any point, instead of the rent on landing on the utility.

Just for fun, three card draw: if you land on chance or community chest you can pay an extra two hundred to the bank to pick two additional cards. But you must play or keep all cards.

Maybe dem voters want something that is not Republicans. Maybe Dems could, you know, not be Republicans, if they want votes at least.

Maybe bragging about an endorsement by the embodiment of absolute evil, the Lord of the nine hells, the architect of imperialist nightmares beyond human comprehension Dick Cheney and his equally evil daughter or whatever the fuck happened that caused Liz Cheney's entering of this plane of existence, was a bad idea.

Nah it's the citizens who are wrong.

So your belief is the UN has never brought up the uighur genocide. Just to be certain how far you're doubling down.

Two seconds of googling gets you the report the UN published. I swear westerners are getting dumber and more lazy by the day.

So you yourself are saying the UN never made a report on the claims made by the US about the uighur people?

I'll accept that. Good work on agreeing there was no uighur genocide, little one.
