America has the least freedom and worst system in the world. Except for 96% of the other countries. It used to be 99%.

Randisi, am still wondering about the freedoms you have in China, that Americans aren't even aware of.
Is it China's criminal justice system you are proud of?
According to the Supreme People’s Court, in 2015, a total of 1,039 accused were “declared innocent” by Chinese courts, and 1.232 million were found guilty, a conviction rate of 99.92 percent.
Must feel very safe to live in a country where only criminals are arrested.

Comrade Randisi, you got nothing to say about my post? Oh, I know, just
more closed minded Western materialism masquerading as agit-prop. You're
probably also unaware of the cult of personality that, despite Hu Jintao's
studied protests, is being relentlessly crafted to accompany his rapidly
growing plethora of titles. I'm sure he wouldn't turn down a gud
ball-cupping from you if you asked him nicely.

Has anybody noticed that all the organized protests against anything American are supported by the same old groups?
Actually, I noticed they are organized by Mormons, right wing Christians, neo Nazis,the Koch brothers, and the Tea party.
They even wave around a fake Constitution.

In the 1st 4 min of this video Noam Chomsky, a radical Leftist, summarizes Bernie's "revolution" while sitting next to Yanis Varoufakis, a self-proclaimed Libertarian Marxist.

I guess Randisi deleted all his threads and went home to mope and get his
butthurt treated with ground bear gall bladder and crushed rhino horn.
Way to represent, dude! He's prolly scheming with his homies at the
People's Army Hacking Center to go all Sony on Chris Mac and his hate
mongering web site.

Fred C. Koch
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In 1958, Koch became a founding member of the John Birch Society, an American political advocacy group that opposes communist infiltration and supports limited government.[13][22][30] Koch held John Birch Society chapter meetings in the basement of his family's home in Wichita, Kansas.[27]:49[31]
Also in 1958, Koch helped amend the constitution of the state of Kansas to make Kansas a right-to-work state.[12][27]:49[32]
Fred Koch, father of Charles and David Koch

Venezuela is no more socialist than we are a democracy. Are the Swiss eating their Bernese Mountain Dogs?
Cheers to the Workers of the World. The rest of you useless eaters can suck a tailpipe.

I like to compare and contrast two similar states. Both have robust fishing and offshore oil industries and populations of about 5 million people. One is a conservative utopia and the other a socialist hell hole. They are of course Lousiana and Norway. Where would you rather live??

I also witnessed how capitalism with a good social net works.
You mean, like, Italy, Spain, France, or Greece? When the best of those has one out of eight people not working (the others are closer to one out of four) that rather calls into question yer use of 'works', doesn't it?
