I don’t know if I’d be able to restrain myself from moving… but I may try 😀
Bieng in the United States, this is literally just the Cuba situation. If it happened again in Canada, or Mexico, those countries would cease to exist within a week. The US will not play nice to any socialist movement at its doorstep.
The US falling from its position of power may be a prerequisite to socialist movement in North America.
It’s basically a necessity. America’s fall from power is an integral part of China’s Socialism 2050 plan. Once the US is no longer powerful enough to attack socialism around the globe, it will be able to flourish.
It depends on your personal situation but en general, I’d say helping to spread the revolution in your own country would be more beneficial. A revolution can not succeed in the long run to establish Socialism when it’s isolated in one country and also the momentum of a successful revolution in a neighboring country can be incredibly powerful. Just look at the revolutionary shockwave that the bolshevik revolution sent through Europe.
I would stay bc I don’t understand Swedish and I don’t speak enough German to live in Germany
If it has a language I can speak, I’m in.
It really depends if the nation has past problems that’d take far longer to resolve than what the revolution would immediately provide. Russia, immediately after the revolution, wasn’t the best place to live in as there was still a lot to resolve, and resource funneling + government structure wasn’t fully established. I simply would not be able to provide much assistance to a nation whose language I do not know (depending on what neighbor it is)
Lol fat chance any country near Australia would have a communist revolution. There are people becoming more open to socialism in Australia. At least on reddit with r/australia but there’s always the centrists with their horse shoe theory bullshit
I mean, the DPRK is about as close as any other country to mine. I spent some time there but have never really had plans to move there.
It’s not always easy to do either.

I guess that means you’re in Japan, right? Sorry for asking you something only semi-related to the topic but are you part of an organization? I may live a part of my life in Japan due to my SO and I already want to get an overview of the political landscape. Though I’m somewhat afraid of the fact that Japan doesn’t provide full democratic rights to foreigners like the McLean case has shown.
Japan is correct, and I am though I was more active when I lived in the city just because there was a more active presence. I am pretty rural now, so how active I am depends on much I get into town.
There are active communities, but they are going to be predominantly Japanese-language based, so your ability to participate is going to depend on how fluent you are. If you speak Japanese fluently already, you will have no problems.
A lot of the major socialist representation is fairly reactionary on a government level. We have one of, if not the largest, communist parties outside a communist state, but they have moved further away from socialist ideals to try to reach mainstream appeal. The more local you get the more revolutionary types you can find. Marxism is still thought generally well off in a lot of higher education, as an example.
I haven’t had any major rights issues personally, outside the usual jazz like not being allowed to rent some apartments because our landlords EXTRA suck. I’ve been here 17 years now and really had no issues in that respect, at least not more than an immigrant to any country likely would.
