Can you tell us why in your opinion oppresive conservative governments die out so often? China is a conservative oppressive country. It's thriving.
China is about as socially liberalized as you can get for a country which was killing people at Tianamen a few decades ago. Remember, we're discussing SOCIAL conservatives( Look at the OP). To claim China is 'conservative' is to ignore the fact that it has actually become more liberal in the last 30 years. It's about as honest as calling it 'communist'. It's a simple fact, a society has 3 choices when it is socially conservative:
1. Liberalize
2. Die out
3. Implode
