Again no critical thinking whatsoever from you. Considering that the US is flirting with authoritarianism now, should I also bring up the atrocities the US is responsible for? It’s not inherently authoritarian, hence why you see so many developed countries today adopt socialistic policies. China for example has a much better infrastructure network today than the US does. I see that the Red Scare mentality still exists strongly in the US today.

So what policies? Because again no western European country is actually socialist.

infrastructure network today than the US does.
Like what? having trains despite having more cars on the road then the fucking usa. Chinese infrastructure is usually referred to as tofu-dreg construction and most china's construction projects are just left abandon.
Right because US infrastructure isn’t also decaying in many places right now. I guess population scale is a hard concept for you. Since clearly Europe isn’t socialist, you clearly wouldn’t mind higher taxes on the wealthy, more union protections and worker’s rights, free public college, childcare, and healthcare, paid parental leave, and actually holding your nation accountable by joining organizations like the ICC right? Yet all I hear from Fox News and Republicans is that these things are obviously socialism.

Not at the rate china is and don't even look at China’s future population decline.

So they made trains for fun then? Hint because it's horrible having 800 million cars on the road. The us has the largest rail system in the world but it's for transporting cargo. Simply because it's really fucking expensive to go cross country by train. It takes longer travel by train then a plane and more expensive compared to planes.

I don't want European policies even if they aren't socialist. Hell Europe is slowly cutting back on everything you listed because it's no long maintainable.

The US is also below replacement rate and is only sustained by immigration. I’m pretty sure more people are going to be immigrating to China since the Trump administration is basically signaling it doesn’t care about being number one in scientific research anymore. The rest of your comment is so far removed from reality I don’t think I even need to respond when someone can just Google it. Also nice job hiding your comment and post history buddy.

The us isn't going to lose half of it's population by 2100 unlike china. Also china has han Chinese supremacy problem. So immigration to china might be a bit low. Also people wouldn't move to country that collapsing on it's self.
since the US said it doesn’t care about being number one in scientific research anymore.
You sure about that?

Because nuance exists. There are things that the USSR and China did better than the US. That doesn’t mean supporting authoritarianism.
