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.

    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.
