It is now five years later and the disparity between the US and China in this respect has only gotten worse. But hey, that's a good thing right?

They used the same argument about medicare for all.
I still don't really understand how that logic was self evident? Why does the size of the country affect whether social programs can work? If anything it will be more efficient due to economies of scale.
Is it the ""homogenous"" part? That always sounded like a dogwhistle for saying it works in Nordic countries because they don't have those "minorities" dragging everyone down. Or maybe it's because wealth inequality is too extreme in the US? I still don't see how that logic holds, I mean just fucking take the wealth from the people who have it, if inequality is what prevents a functioning society.
That's exactly it.
And it works, since our health care and ""socialism"" is getting dismantled while immigration is increasing. So when they say it's the fault of the immigrants, that we aren't homogeneous enough, they can point and it will seem true.
