> There have been insanely huge successes in socialist countries.
And yet those aren't the countries that people want to go live in.
The evidence speaks for it self. The capitalist countries are the ones with all the wealth, that everyone wants to move to, and the socialist ones are the countries that people want to escape.
If you will notice, we are right now talking on a thread about 10% of the population of cuba, leaving cuba.
> The Soviet Union
The thing that doesn't exist anymore? Some success that was.
> Most capitalist countries are utter failure
And yet, when a capitalist country fails, where do the people in that country want to leave to?
Oh, thats right. They want to go to other capitalist countries.
> the US has a huge issue
And yet, it one of the most desirable places in the world to live in, empirically proven by immigration rates.
> Generally socialism has been quite successfully
And yet the people actually living there still flee. No matter what metric you give, apparently the people living there don't care, because they still want to leave those countries and to move to capitalist countries.
- cardanome 2y agoMigration from poor countries to wealthier countries has always been a thing. Communist revolutions tend to happen in the poorest countries so you are mistaking cause and effect. The countries that communism took hold on have been poor to begin with. Yes, communism is not magic and can not make you the richest country on earth overnight but neither can capitalism.
