I really wish the United States would do something like that

I think the world should do that altogether! Burn this capitalistic dystopian fascistic neoliberal nightmare that killing us all to the ground and build from scratch.

And build what? Communism? That will surely work very well!!

I am not Greek. I wish my countrymen had the courage the people of Greece do.

I have no idea how that refers to your “trying out democracy” thing.

It'd be better suited in Russia economy wise, and China as far as government restructuring is needed.

It’s just as needed in the US as it is China or Russia. Those 3 countries all need government restructuring and helping workers afford to live.
