North Korea, Venezuela, the USSR during the Cold War, East Germany, heck even China (I know on good authority) all have had people flee and many of the above nations had to put up literal barriers to try and stop the fleeing.

……why? Isn’t socialism supposed to be the end-means ultimate utopian model society that all should strive for proudly? Why would anyone want to flee that for the “evil dregs” of capitalism?

Help me make sense of this.

Survivorship bias, you only see the people who flee because they're loud and they live in western countries. Objectively most people who lived in those countries still live there.

So if it's so awesome, how come there aren't more socialist countries that are successful? If it's soooo awesome, there should be way more socialist countries. Right?:)

Watch what the US is doing in Venezuela, they democratically elected a socialist and they're about to be invaded. Or hell look at whats about to happen to the next mayor of NYC, Trump isnt even accusing him of rigging the election because nobody can deny how overwhelmingly popular he is.

Then you should be happy! Everything will be socialist soon. So why are ya so mad?

The trend of socialism acturally makes me very happy, so happy I voted early just so I can vote for Mamdani. Funny because many former Trump supporters seem to be doing the same.
