there seem to be people who just do not enjoy socialism or anything close to it and are instead blinded by the idea that they could have MORE from american/western propaganda. having the state provide a living, cheap housing, a stable job, etc to them is not enough when the "american dream" promotes the concept that if you work hard here, you can have even more than others. and some people buy that. i know a lot of former soviet citizens who bought this and became anti-socialists because why have the soviet state provide the necessities for their lifestyle if they can get rich in america? of course, it never happens, and many of these anti-socialists who leave end up really struggling financially in the west because, surprise, capitalism was never about giving everyone an opportunity to become rich.
