Egocentricity

What if China's authoritarian capitalism provides a much better economical system than Western liberal capitalism? Is a people more powerful if it acts as one organism, disregarding individual misery? Is a society where individual happiness primes over global success sustainable? And if not, will it be supplanted by better working models in the future? European leaders have lost the mean of directing their people through unconditional patriotism and religion. And Europe loses possibilities to export productive misery. Do we need to fool all the people all the time?
