    It’s not about “rhetoric,” but the system itself. China has more social safety nets for those it depends on than the Nordics do. The Nordics just withold the safety nets for those inside the imperial core while depending on austerity abroad, while China is internally driven. Again, you’re trying to remove those that the system depends on from consideration, equivalent to saying “being a billionaire is the best system.” The Nordics are not a self-sufficient, closed loop, but instead part of the imperial core.
