Communist China wants the whole world to live under communist slavery to their evil empire. It is time for Xi Jingpin to be removed from power before he starts a war with the free world. Is there no intellectual class in China or are they all in jail?
INDIVIDUAL or at least LOCALLY speaking, is the right approach.
Let me repeat Eleanor Roosevelt's words on human rights:
“Where, after all, do universal human rights begin? In small places, close to home - so close and so small that
they cannot be seen on any maps of the world. Yet they are the world of the individual person; the neighborhood
he lives in; the school or college he attends; the factory, farm, or office where he works. Such are the places where
every man, woman, and child seeks equal justice, equal opportunity, equal dignity without discrimination. Unless
these rights have meaning there, they have little meaning anywhere. Without concerted citizen action to uphold
them close to home, we shall look in vain for progress in the larger world.”
In short, no large-scale projects, freedom, human rights, and etc, however well intentioned, will succeed if it is not
rooted in small-scale reasoning. Universal human rights is only universal rights if it could be successfully practices
in small places everywhere
Don't think China wants the whole world to live under communism. How about the US?
Does it really practice individual freedom in all small places, close to home? If not, it needs to improve itself before preaching such freedom as universal.
