ANYWAY
Juris, take a step back from full blown communism, or, put your money where your mouth is and give it a try and move to one of those countries. Then promptly give them the money from your mouth, and come home crying.

I want to say communist countries still have their elite bureaucratic circle who are well off and quite empowered and privileged, those that start in power and maintain power among their social circles. Terry Goodkind is really illustrative about this in one of my favorite novels:
Faith of the Fallen. I recommend anyone who wants to flirt with the idea of communism on a national or state scale read this.
You will still be ground into dirt by those who are your "betters" (ironically used here).
It is not a liberating system of governance. It is just another means of control. Which does not benefit those "not in power".
I am probably being very awful at iterating these ideas here, but if you want power, you need to create your own power, that requires working for your own betterment, regardless of others.
Now if you move to one of these countries and help the elite stay in power, like by bringing in your own wealth and connections to th west for them, you may indeed, remain in power with them for awhile... So moving there may not actually result in your own oppression, but it's basically like living in Costa Rica with a western bank account in the millions. Where you can afford to pay of the local bafoons in literal global pennies while u enjoy the fruits of your capital. (not saying costa rica is commie, but you get the idea). It's more about power dynamics than about actual governmence. Humans regardless of whatever government they seem to fall under, seem to still behave basically like humans in a big picture sense, and there for remain in-equal and exploitative of each other. Hence why communism is a total sham.
God Bless.
