This is a pretty open question of course, as there will be different answers for different groups of people, and different kinds of ways in which a country can be good/bad.

I live in Germany, and while it's a country with many, many flaws, I can't say that I hate the country because, frankly, there's not many places I'd rather live. But of course, I'm a middle-class suburban white girl, the systems here largely exist to benefit me. For other groups of people it might be different. If I had to move to another country right now, Finland would probably be my first pick. I'm interested in China for a number of reasons, but I doubt that living there would ultimately be better for me.

So yeah, it's kind of a purposely vague question, I'm curious on what you think.

    You are right – they are not bourgeois because they do not receive revenue from owning the means of production, and in fact their credentials are largely worthless unless they sell their labor (or perhaps enter in some kind of debt arrangement to "start their own practice"?) with someone who does own the means of production. I'm probably still recovering from all the "cultural capital" jargon that gets carelessly thrown around when I went to college.

    Thanks for the explanation! :sankara-salute:
