The Collapse of the American Empire, page-1679

Is thi thread about Democracy or the Fall of American Empire ?

As for Democracy : in my opinion it is "Illusion created by the ruling class", "illusion" which services as a safety valve.

Allowing to toss out one group of oppressors only to replace it with the other group of oppressors.

Therefore USA will last much longer than China which does not have this mechanism.

China "pressure cooker" will come out to much higher pressure then USA as the "safety valve" is not allowed but then will explode much sooner.
