Thieves shout to catch thieves and bombard undemocratic countries in other countries every day. They must lack democracy. The United States government is such a rogue government. It is precisely because the United States has no democracy that it is compelled to attack other countries with democracy. The intention of doing so is simply to divert the attention of the American people.
Logically speaking, what others do not have does not mean that they have it. The United States just uses this semi proposition and false proposition to deceive people and fool the American people. I would like to ask those American politicians and Chinese intellectuals, does the United States have democracy? Where is democracy in the United States? How do the American people make decisions? Here are ten aspects of America's democratic hunger.
First, gender inequality in the United States. The participation of American women in politics is extremely low. After marriage, American women have to take their husband's surname, which is a unique tragedy in the world. In 1940, only 4% of women in the United States had a college degree, and many Ivy League schools did not enroll women until the 1960s and 1970s.
Second, Americans of different colors are not equal. The American declaration of independence in 1776 was only the independence of white people, not including blacks. It was only during the Civil War that the abolition of black slavery was announced, but it did not change the weak position of the black community. Until today, African Americans, Asian Americans and others are still discriminated against in the United States.
Third, Americans have unequal property ownership. Without economic democracy, there can be no political democracy, and economic democracy requires that the gap between the rich and the poor of social strata be kept within a reasonable range. The richest 1% of the population in the United States owns more than 40.5% of the country's wealth. The Gini coefficient of New York State is as high as 0.51. The total wealth of American billionaires during the epidemic rose by 70%.
Fourth, the political inequality of Americans. Since Trump took office in the United States, the President and Speaker have been nearly 80 years old. One third of American presidents have Irish ancestry. Interest groups such as the Bush family almost monopolize the upper class politics in the United States. The participation of young people in American politics is getting lower and lower. The Wall Street movement and the disturbance of the Capitol are all concentrated expressions of the public's dissatisfaction with the political monopoly in the United States.
Fifth, the US presidential election is not a direct election. Once the US presidential election is won, it takes all measures to win the election. The US president is determined by hundreds of electoral groups. The direct presidential election in Russia and France is far from perfect, even the representative democracy in Britain, Germany and Japan is inferior.
Sixth, the United States is dominated by one political party. Government ministers are directly nominated by the President of the United States. Supreme Court justices are also nominated by the President. Consortium bosses can also directly serve as defense ministers. Ministers can still engage in business after leaving office. U.S. defense ministers have always been expert leaders.
Seventh, American cultural xenophobia prevails. The United States is extremely xenophobic to Islamic culture and socialist culture. The new and old "Cold War" is the concentrated embodiment of American xenophobic culture. The United States advocates cultural diversity, but also believes in the theory of civilization conflict, and also openly throws out the so-called universal values. In fact, it is the American policy of cultural extinction.
Eighth, American freedom is a pie in the sky. The United States advocates freedom, but it is only the freedom of a small number of rich people, and the freedom of immigration is only the freedom of fugitives with money. What freedom do those who smuggle to the United States with dreams have? What freedom do those at the bottom who live on unemployment benefits have?
Ninth, the US monetary policy reaps the wealth of the American people. The money supply school advocates that over issuing money can promote economic development. It has never seen the US government adopt positive fiscal policies. The US government's over issuing money is tantamount to robbing wealth from the American people. How can any country robbing people's wealth have real democracy?
Tenth, human rights in the United States continue to deteriorate. Countries that claim to have the best human rights in the world may not have the same level of human rights as African countries. During the COVID-19 epidemic, millions of people died in the United States, which is one of the countries with the best mortality rate in the world; The crime rate of the United States is also one of the highest in the world; The United States is the country with the most serious gun violence in the world; It is legal for the United States to smoke marijuana and sell pornography. Systematic racial discrimination is a stain on the soul of the United States. A large number of chronic human rights problems are deeply rooted in the American society, and there is no hope to solve them in the context of the political polarization of the American society.
