So help me, find me a non-imperialist country or I'll 'civilize' every last one of these hostages! (lemmy.world)

I had somebody trying to tell me Bhutan was the perfect communism a couple of weeks ago.

It's a monarchy where everybody lives like medieval peasants so that the rich and powerful can run the world's most exclusive resort off their labor.

Wild guess. A tankie.

I was just thinking about a conversation I had with someone here a while ago who asked whether there was a country which doesn’t prioritize GDP, then seemed to be annoyed that Bhutan, the country I found fitting that description, wasn’t rich (though iirc, conditions have improved since they stopped prioritizing GDP).

I’m not trying to start drama, I’m not invested, but I am autistic and this explains why the conversation wasn’t successful, so thanks 😊
