Hasan Piker Says China’s Communism Is ‘Probably the Closest’ to ‘an Example that We Should Learn From’

EXCERPT:

PIKER: “I would say that I’m hypercritical of all forms of governance, including the American one. I think that’s not a surprise to you guys, right? And in that same vein, I think, like, there is critiques to apply to all forms of governance, even socialist ones. And as far as, like, getting closer to what I think is has been relatively successful, because if — if ultimately, the point of government is to improve the material conditions of all people to the best of your ability, it’s not always going to be perfect, but when you are getting, I don’t know, the poorest people, the poorest of the dispossessed masses out of a situation where they were servile, the landed gentry or they were peasants from an agrarian society or they were — they were dominated by the landlord, but then, ultimately, they were able to come into modernity and become like a powerhouse, an industrial powerhouse that is competitive with the largest superpower on the planet, I would say, if that’s the point of good governance — and I think you guys might agree with me on that — I would say China is probably the closest.”
