Or... we actually did something about it, and as a result enjoy some of the highest standards of living on the planet. But sure, we should strive to live more like the Chinese do.

You mean 60 years ago? Sorry, I wasn't born yet. Is that the most recent example you could find?
Edit: still no one has been able to come up with anything better
Well, at the very least I can criticize and vote for my leaders freely, unlike some "global powers" I could mention.
The EU is of course famous for not protecting consumer interests or regulating corporations. They never do such a thing.
Compared to the US, where the government does everything in its power to protect the status quo of the wealthy, or China, where the people can't even vote for, let alone criticize their own government, European countries seem to be making quite a good effort to accommodate the will of the common man.
Is it idealistic? My country in western Europe is pretty corruption free as far as anyone can tell. Seems perfectly achievable to me.
Idk, a long time ago in my country, because there's not really any corruption here in the first place.
In my country we like to not have any corruption in the first place :)
Don't confuse me for an American. My government gets paid a fair wage and is among the least corrupt in the world.
Okay? Why should I care what my ancestors were doing 200 years ago? Do you believe you should be held accountable for the actions of yours? I don't hold a grudge against my German friends for WW2 either.
