Praising Communism While Enjoying All the Benefits of Living Under Capitalism

I've never understood why so many who like to praise communism don't just pack up their stuff (which they wouldn't have if they lived under a communist regime) and move to a communist country. You're free to leave, you know. No one is keeping you in, for example, England, Germany or Canada.
That being the case, why are you still here? If capitalism is so bad, so "oppressive", "racist" and all that other jazz, then GO!
Go on! Leave! Move to China. I'll even buy your plane ticket (one-way of course)! 😊

It’s ok to hold different views in a democracy. That’s a basic democratic right and as long as it doesn’t cross into illegality, people should not feel under pressure or compelled to leave!

@Sterler45 it's not illegal but it's certainly wrong and immoral to praise a murderous, despitic ideology. Especially within the country that defeated it.

Somehow I think you'd be screaming the same about Hitler lovers. They aren't as trendy as your commies

@SW-User people are free to express unpopular or disrespectful opinions. Surely that’s freedom of speech. Democracy either lives or dies on the principle.

To suppress such opinions, with the caveat they don’t lead to or inspire illegality, amounts to censorship and you will of course know that’s how dictatorships are run.

@Sterler45 did I ever say they weren't? But we're also free to call out, and ridicule those garbage beliefs

@SW-User as I said, it comes down to freedom of speech. You have a right to express your view as do they.
