Communism doesn't have a great track record either.

1. Tienanmen square

2. Great firewall of china.

3. Most of the judicial system in china

4. cuba

5. venezuela

Also, the stock market and the 24 hours news cycle hasn't had as long a time to corrupt china like it has democracies.

Most of the US is optimized for better stock results.

So, I am not saying to adapt communism. But to think of a better alternative that should at least sound logical (unlike democracy). We need to understand the faults in our democracy rather than criticizing china's government. Because I know there are many conflicts within china but the economic growth there is much better.

Modern democracies don't look that much like Athenian democracy did.
