"Psychiatry is political in the USA just as it is alleged to be in the Communist nations"

The American politicians and others in the country are quick to blast China, Vietnam, Cuba and North Korea for allegedly using psychiatry as a harsh tool of political oppression. This was the same allegation made by the USA against the Soviet Union during the Cold War era. Although there are clearly similar problems with psychiatry in the Communist world and elsewhere across the world as in the USA it is absurdly naive to insist that at least psychiatry isn't political in the USA. It is after all the lawmakers from primarily the Republican and Democratic parties who have passed laws legalizing the tyrannical quackery of psychiatry. And the judges who preside at swift, fixed kangaroo civil psychiatric court proceedings across all 50 states are either politically appointed or elected in a political process. If the US government nevertheless continues to insist that the brutal implementation and enforcement of psychiatry in the USA is not political than what reasoning is there for the millions upon millions of American men, women and children who are regularly destroyed by psychiatry even in the absence of criminal misconduct? This leaves us with a consideration that in the Communist world the reasons for the enforcement of psychiatry can at least be explained, even if you disagree with such a state of affairs!
