    Really? Are you really genuinely ignorant or you simply can’t fathom that non-US people not only exist but also lead happier lives?

      No, he’s not. He’s talking about supposedly-socialist people in the USA who idealize vaguely socialism related countries like Russia or China, and think they would have a better life in these countries.

        The Russian Federation isn’t socialist in any way. China has a Socialist Market Economy, that’s true, but nobody idolizes Russia nor do they believe they would live a better life there.

        That’s not socialists though. We call them tankies as an umbrella term.

          I agree, but I believe they don’t like being called like that and they think they are defending socialism.

      Please don’t forget that the vast majority of non-US people lead significantly sadder lives.

      The two most populous countries in the world are China and India, in that order, and I haven’t heard many good things about the standard of living in either of them.
