    I have no reason to believe that a Chinese or Cuban expat will have anything good to say about the communism they’re “fleeing” specifically for the charged verb involved. “Fleeing” implies loss; which in a burgeoning Communist society, means their family was fucking around; and is now finding out. No reason to believe anything they say is in good faith.

    Now, the ones only here to study and then go back? I really want to talk with them.

      Plenty, yeah. But also, plenty of people leave or are forced to leave their countries during revolution because revolutions and the periods after are violent times full of chaos. It takes a while for these countries to stabilize. It’s not always an ideological thing.
