       Reason on the disposition of tropical peoples to support
       Socialism
       --- Quote ---
       > Mary W. Williams (1930) paid attention to the impact of
       tropical climate on human beings in Latin America. She said that
       climate “has been far more influential upon the history of Latin
       America than any other part of physiography.” The tropics is “a
       region of climatic monotony encouraging listlessness and lack of
       ambition, which are also fostered by nature’s generosity,
       especially in the matter of food supply.” She continued that the
       tropics contribute to nervousness and lack of self-control and
       that in comparison with the temperate zones, “in these regions
       human actions are likely to be dominated more by emotion and
       less by reason.” Tropical and subtropical regions are also
       infested with diseases unfriendly to man (pp. 14-15). Her
       arguments on the impact of climate reflect Montesquieu’s ideas.
       It may be that because of the tropical climate it is not
       realistic to expect the quality of democracy to rise in Latin
       America and other tropical countries to the same level as in the
       countries of the temperate zone.

       Therefore, the Western people (and "New China") who live in
       Colder Temperate Zones hardly to be socialist, therefore they
       deserve more authoritarian rule to make socialism be
       implemented. That's the reason on incompatibility of democratic
       method to achieve socialism in the West and "New China"

       Indeed, this line from the passage you quoted:
       --- Quote ---
       > “a region of climatic monotony encouraging listlessness and
       lack of ambition, which are also fostered by nature’s
       generosity, especially in the matter of food supply.”

       > the people of Hemudu lived a rather peaceful and comfortable
       life as no signs of fierce conflicts or lack of food were found
       during the excavation.
       >
       > "These ancestors from 7,000 years ago already knew how to live
       an exquisite life along the Yangtze River," researchers wrote in
       the Hemudu Culture Catalog collected in the museum in Yuyao.

       about food or war."

       Result of Democracy
       --- Quote ---
       > The quality of democracy seems to be approximately similar,
       with local variations in details, in nearly all other European
       and European offshoot democracies. This group of high-quality
       democracies includes at least Belgium, Canada, Denmark, Estonia,
       Finland, France, Germany, Latvia, Malta, New Zealand, Slovakia,
       Slovenia, Sweden, and the United States. Various shortages in
       the quality of democracy are related to the discrimination and
       underrepresentation of the Roma people, especially in Slovakia;
       to the unequal position of noncitizen Russians in Estonia and
       Latvia; to problems with large non-European immigrant groups,
       especially in Belgium, France, Germany, and Sweden; to the
       position of indigenous Maori people in New Zealand; and to the
       position of blacks and millions of illegal immigrant workers in
       the United States.
