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.

        I like it here. I’m not disagreeing with you, I am just pointing out that since you are going against the majority Lemmy groupthink, that you may get some pushback.

        I’m all for pushing back against Lemmy groupthink tho, so I don’t have an issue with you. :)

          Why did you come here though in the first place? What do you do other than post ragebait about US politics?

            What makes you think I am ragebaiting? So because I post something you don’t agree with, it’s ragebait? So did Trump get voted in as president as ragebait? OR maybe, just maybe, people think and believe differently than you.

            Do you think alternative political voices should be silenced?

            How an it be “ragebait” if I posted a conservative-themed question to a conservative-themed community?! If you are here, and you’re not conservative and posting stuff, wouldn’t it be you who is playing the ragebait game?

              So the answer is yes, you came here to have endless pointless arguments. When do you leave?

                Actually YOU came here to have endless pointless. This is a conservative community and I post things relating to conservatives. You’re not a conservative, so you’re the one who’s ragebaiting and just trying to argue.

                When do you leave?

                  I’m not going anywhere. I’ve always been here. Meanwhile, you’re so enraged that your comments have turned to gobbledygook. You need a break.

                    Well, I’m not going anywhere. I’ve always been here.

                    Meanwhile, you’re so enraged by my comments, that you seem to have trouble understanding english and consider it gobbledygook.

                    You need a break. Are you ok?
