    Economics is hardly a prejudice. You’re not making a lot of sense, anyway.

    Surely pointing to China is a better way to make the point that liberal democracy is not the only road to riches. I simply want to encourage people to take a hard-nosed look at the tenets of liberal democracy. They are not a revealed truth. They prevailed for a reason.

      That could be manufactured by giving more funding to liberal democracies.

          Just like that? What makes you so sure? The reverse was true for the divided Germany. Both sides shifted resources there to make their system look good in comparison.

        Funding by who? God? Certainly not all the other democracies that just so happen to work well.

        But seriously, if a system works so well that it can support multiple countries with the resources of a single one, thats an even better argument.
