I’ve heard many socialists/communists really wanting to get the hell of the West, while many others feel that they should do work where they are toward socialism/communism. Just curious about opinions on this community. Would you want to actually go to a socialist country with all the difficulties that comes with uprooting your life and going through the immigration process? Why or why not? Have any of you ever attempted to? My (anticommunist) family immigrated to Canada from China when I was really young (wasn’t my choice) and I’m now a Canadian citizen (renounced Chinese nationality) and definitely used to Canadian/Western culture a lot more than Chinese culture, can barely speak Mandarin, but sometimes I debate to myself on trying to go back to China just because of all the shit that is going on here and all the good shit they’re getting right over there.
Assuming that I still can’t find a socialist movement in my locality, I would consider travelling to the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela and offer my labor to any commune that wants it. That said, emigration is expensive and my family would be deeply upset if I tried to travel that far, so it would be too inconvenient for me. Ideally we should focus on trying to strengthen the proletariat here, but with such limited opportunities I can understand why somebody would rather go elsewhere.
