I don't understand what a privatized prison system has to do anything with the rest of your argument which seems to be more of a rant than anything.

Democracy isn't new its older than communism. Democracy also took time to develop in the West. It's unfathomable to someone who has never been fed information that the Party didn't change.

so communism is but an ephemeral and insignificant given the lengthy and turbulent history of China. It's only been around for roughly 70 years compared to the backdrop of many millenias.

Democracy has been in America for well over a 100 years, so it has china beat.
