I'm living in the exUSSR. Plenty of older people are nostalgic about security they had back then.
Food, housing, healthcare and even job were mostly handled for them. Most of the people prefer that to the extreme freedom and self-reliance.
When we talk about balance of these things, though, Scandinavian countries seem to be pretty popular.
I myself don't think socialist model will work without AGI, but maybe some hybrid model will do.
- kcplate 2y agoIt was more a figurative comment, I am not going to actually ask anyone anything. But it is my sense from past conversations that none of these friends and acquaintances would be willing to trade back. I also think it’s reasonable to conclude that the people who stayed vs the people who left might have different opinions over those governments too. The man who is willing to risk floating 90 miles across shark infested seas in a makeshift raft might have a different perspective of security and personal risk then someone who just kept their head down and suffered silently…or was content in their station.
