So, if any of your local religious leaders is a pedophile you lose your right to self determination? That will massively reduce the number of sovereign countries. To 0.

China freed the Tibetan people from serfdom imposed by a feudal religious state.

That’s your argument, lib?

Maybe learn how the Five Eyes’ governments, think tanks, and corporate media propaganda work, and how the cold wars[1][2] and red scares[1][2][3][4] never ended.

If that happens good? Why do we think having countries and borders that creates strife a good thing? If we eliminate all borders and are just humanity I see that as an absolute win.

Humanity needs to be way more interactive globally than it currently is, and for a good long time. Forcing elimination of borders and nations without having a basically uniform global culture - and probably language - is a "bad idea."

It’s a good thing that communist parties are immune to having sexual predators in their ranks.

So, you are telling me that in your enlightened opinion imperialism is a great thing and decolonization was wrong? That's a take...

If the country is a theocracy run by a ruling class of slave owning pedophiles, yes, that government deserves to go away. Serfdom is bad.

And does it deserve to be colonized? Because you are basically justifing imperial colonization.
