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)! 😊

Capitalism, socialism, communism it makes little it no difference. We have corrupt business leaders and politicians in capitalist countries, corrupt tyrannical leaders in communist countries.
The problem with them all is the greed of those in control.

@Emosaur So a socialist country has no leaders or decision makers .... how is that going to work.
From what you are saying in your fantasy world you also have businesses with no managers, no supervisors. Everything decided my committee. How will that work?

@Emosaur Do you really think that once the politicians are in a position of power they will obey those who elected them?
You are right workers co operatives can work on a small scale but can you provide education, healthcare, transport, etc this way?
