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.

    Why do you bring up failed states, and not more progressive social democratic countries? Oh, yeah. Doesn’t fit your stupid capitalist circle jerk. You should read up on deaths attributable to capitalism. Maybe you’d realize that whatever economic system you want, they all fall apart when the reality of asshole humans are introduced to the theory.

      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?:)
