For yesterday's post, Ur idea is just as simple as those people who hope that a system can change a lot 100 years ago.
*** When did China changed system. For 100 years, the system has always been the same. Of course, it would not change anything. China had been through on vicious cycle after another, only left wishful thinking people disappointed time after time.
No, a system will change little if it exists solely, without the company of other elemets.
*** I guess I start to understand where you are getting at. No, democracy is not just a system. It does covers other "elements" you are talking about. List your "elements", we talk about them one by one.
I think you can't understand the ponit. Therefore, I give your a analogy: a guy visit a fashion show. He is attracted by a very pretty cloth, weared by a super model. He then buys one and asks his wife to put it on. Do you think it will be fine?
*** You are right this time. I don't understand your analogy. To me, if his wife likes the dress, then put it on! How does this relate to the issue. Explain.
In addtion, it's very funny that a person who promotes democracy everyday think it is OK even DDP acts just as same as CCP.Maybe u think DDP will be self-restrict? Absolute power =???
*** Now, you don't understand my point. Yesterday, I was actually ridiculing you. You seemed to be unconfortble buy DDP who is trying to dominating the power in your words. That is really funny, CCP is dominating the power for years in the Mainland, you are supposed to get used to it, but what really surprises me is that you are angry with DDP. You get my point?
U depends on system, but forget the system is run by people. Think about it.
*** This time, I agree with you again. People are critical participants of the system. And how does this support your point?
*** And your point is? I am still confused. Please summarize it in one or two sentence for the sake of fair discussion.
