We can criticize both you know.
But a graph comparing authoritarian regimes would be nice as a reply to these dumb tankies shilling for dictators and imperialism.
It's a weak criticism without comparisons. As others in the comments pointed out, most countries around the world have similar numbers, and I don't think we're on the brink of a worldwide revolution lol
Plus it's not like France was some bastion of democracy after the French Revolution, we should really be trying to avoid past mistakes.
And since people who often post such hyper-fixated US-centric economic critiques usually argue in favor of China, I genuinely wanted to know how China's numbers look too. I'm certain Russia's numbers are fucking terrible but I wanted a laugh so I included them.
