“The American dream sadly finished a long time ago, which is a pity, it was something people aspired to but when Govt becomes more concerned about semantics rather than helping people it is what happens.”
Thats rubbish.
If a black man (Obama) from a poor background can rise to be president the dream is still there.
The problem with the US is that it thinks that it’s model of democracy suits all countries which clearly it does not, the progress China has made in the last 40 yrs would not have been possible, there would have been far to many groups opposing progress. Although it is nominally communist, it is in fact a plutocracy, you might call it a “natural plutocracy”, where those that follow the party line become the ruling elite. That ensures that there are party members at every level to ensure that everybody else falls in line and those that rebel are sent to a re-education camp. There is no opposition and Xi has declared himself president for life, their model of government is very efficient the west really does need to take notice.
