Here we go again...
'...the idea to give the equal right to an university professor and a drug-addict thug is merely stupid.'
Do
YOU support the idea that we should have different political weight for different people? Mr. AViet, like most critics of Western style democracy on this forum, is heavy on rhetoric but light on details.
Do I want the prof in my house? Yes. But not the drug addict. Am no different than anyone else.
But
HOW are we to differentiate out the prof and the drug addict in the eyes of the government? That is fair question to your, or whoever, criticism of my method.
The implication here is that by allowing the prof and the drug addict the same weight politically, that is leading to the destruction of Western style democracy. But if you criticize but offer no alternative, that is call 'whining'.
Right now, your China's method of governance is problematic and you know it. Never mind 'positive' or 'negative' right. Never mind what kind of 'freedom' you have or do not have.
YOU are politically lower weight than the children of the lowest Party member. In theory, maybe not, but in practice, you are. Those who make the rules can shield themselves and anyone from those rules. Those who have the power to grant 'rights' and 'freedoms' have the power to take them away whenever convenient.
In the Western model, it is 'God', whatever opinion of 'God' you may have is for a different debate, that grants 'rights' and 'freedoms'. In China, it is the government that grants 'rights' and 'freedoms', and right now, you have a 'social credit' system that is beginning to politically differentiate Chinese from each other. Do
YOU approve of that model of governance? Fair question.
