The same way people can learn to dance while reading a book.

Not exactly.

There were attempts after Mao to try to remove the threat of dictatorship from the government. The Politboro operated as a full committee until Xi consolidated power.

Even if you aren't, the tolerance of executions is pretty high.

A country has to execute a lot of people per year to suffer some form of international consequences.

Honestly, the best country to approach this would be China, and I don't think China would want to deal with the risk of building infrastructure.

I've got to go with a classic in Tony Soprano. He's a real piece of shit, and yet I can't look away.

To the USA, definitely. I would also expect problems with Russian international tourism as well.

I don't know why Japan would be having issues, though.

A lot of working and middle class people don't understand how tax brackets work and a lot of upper class people don't have a financial incentive to correct the working and middle class.

Also, a lot of upper class people have shifted their income from wages to capital gains, which has a lower effective tax rate.
