Probably not. This is my home and I want to make socialism here.
Yeah, tempting to move somewhere better, but this is what I know, and would love to make a difference here.
Yup. They don't need more socialists in Cuba or wherever. We need them here!
With settler-descendants the way they are now, the literal last thing I'm thinking about is sacrificing my life for one of theirs. There is no love in me for 'my fellow countrymen' anymore; just the constant shrieking instinct in the back of my head that y'all are unsafe and I need to get out of here before the jackboots start goosestepping down Main Street,
I think a better question would be "if you had to choose another country to live in based on its government policies, which would you choose?" If I was up for moving to another country, I'd go to one of the "socialist" Nordic countries in a heartbeat, but I've already destroyed my social life once with a long-distance move and I don't think I could handle doing it again.
