I’m curious as to how many people here have aspirations of moving to a socialist country, and think that they can succeed. If so, which one would you move to?

Finally, do you think it would be more beneficial to the communist movement if communists in the west moved to already socialist countries?

    I think it is useful, as a kind of brain drain in the atypical direction… capitalist countries are currently eating themselves and they don’t need workers in many fields… the rest they’re trying to kill off as fast as possible. I’m reminded of the escape in the novel Catch-22, where he realizes that his friend Clevinger kept crashing planes but surviving, and although everyone thought he was just a terrible pilot, in reality he was getting good at crashing planes in order to make a final escape from the military, and get out of the catch-22.

    Socialist countries need skilled labor, and usually unskilled labor too, as long as you’re willing to move, and speak the language. Most people want to work, and had no problem in the past moving to countries that had employment… now is no different.

    I’d like to move to China one day so I’m learning Mandarin. Just looking at life expectancy trends can give you a good indication of which countries you’ll have better luck in.
