Disclaimer: I come from neo-communist controlled central / eastern europe. Read : a populist government controls the country, gives freebies paid by tax payers to the elderly and the elderly + dumb vote for the same communists again and again. Younger pop. is trying to escape the country and the middle class shrinks every year.

You do not really want to use public services in my country. Trains are in desolate state and remind you of nazi trains used to transfer prisoners.

Health services are underfunded and the 50% of funds are being stolen by the gov and other oligarchs. Oh and when they get sick they get treated in another country.

Most of the youngsters in my country see capitalism as the only way to vote in everyday life. You vote with your money wherever you go.

It's not ideal but we hope it works. Unlike our corrupt socialism.
