While many non-communist countries exist which have such a pull.

Is that your measure for assessing how good a system of government is? Because many Westerners like to retire in Thailand, and it alternates between being a blatant military dictatorship and a thinly veiled military dictatorship.

Right, I should have clarified that. No, not my measure, I agree with you on that. It was just some measure, which seemed better than "do the opposite of what others say". Because actions matter more than words, or so.
