You have a lifetime of anti communist propaganda to overcome. You're close, take the last step and realize you've been lied to about AES countries. No place is a utopia, but those countries are lights in the dark.

That's a fair question. There's a reason why authoritarian nations don't have immigration issues, unlike virtually all of the west.

People aren't stupid; they can pretty easily see through nationalist bullshit and figure out which, if they have to leave their own country, are going to be the best countries to land in.

Guess what? Nobody wants to immigrate to Russia or China or Cuba or Venezuela. Full stop.

Statistically yes, one person doesn't count, so in that sense you are in fact nobody.
