Ultimately, I have seen millions die of starvation in one system and not in the other. So I'm going to take the latter. You argue the semantics and whatever terms you like.


> So I'm going to take the latter

You don't pick anything. Our rulers pick the system and we bend over backwards to justify it so we don't lose our minds.

I went from one to the other and life got better. Maybe you can’t pick but it turns out I can. Up to readers whether they want to be like you or like me.


I am glad your life improved, but your life personally improving doesn't change the political reality.
