Regardless of how America-centric imperialist the comment was, it was written to everyone because it’s on an international forum without specifying it was for residents of some specific country only.
What happens in the head of the person talking 8s not relevant. What is relevant is what they end up actually saying.
Something in the ballpark of 19 out of 20 people on our planet are other than US residents. It is not okay to write a comment with an assumption that the remaining 95 % don’t exist. There are US-only forums, and you can outright say that you’re addressing US residents only. Everything else is targeting everyone.
I’m an Asian, you’re preaching to the choir. Or what, did you assume I was American? Tsk, that American exceptionalism.
OP should have included the country in the title, since that was relevant info. Beyond that though, the comment is clearly linked to the article. You’re the only one present who can’t seem to read the context.
That’s like saying “which of the orange and the apple is not a fruit.”
But to try to answer what I think you are asking, North Korea is a communist dicatorship controlled by one family. Kind of how Kings worked in the old days.
And China is an authoritarian one-party state.
North Korea does not have a privatized sector. China does. North Korea is not socialist by definition, and China is.
Uh… People in China and North Korea are somehow doing better than me here in Finland? Why? Please do elaborate. Assuming you can.
You realise the comment you’re replying to was targeted at Americans, yes?
It was made on an international forum.

It’s a comment on an article about American politics, specifically referring to the issues mentioned in the article. Context is a thing.
On an international forum. If you’re talking on an international forum, you’re talking to an international audience. Behave that way.

No, I didn’t.
Putting China and North Korea in the same booth shows how little you know about this subject.
Which one of those two is not a socialist country?
