I had to laugh at this part of the Times quote "in the West, where rule of law, clean air and good schools offer peace of mind," especially after today with two of our president's former aides found pleading guilty to major crimes, roll backs on coal regulations that are expected to kill more than 1500 people each year, and our schools? Well, if you are wealthy you can afford good schools (or to live in a neighborhood with good public schools), but many in the U.S. cannot afford them.
I don't think things are all that different here. We don't have a communist party, but we do have the oligarchy.
