I mean, both could be brainwashed. Or neither. It's funny, but rationally pretty moot.
Just because many people say the same thing does not mean it's false. And just because you're the only who disagrees does not mean you're right.
Or maybe it's rather a matter of taste and opinion.
Though I don't see many communist paradises where people try to migrate in masses. While many non-communist countries exist which have such a pull. Ah, silly me, that's probably due to all the propaganda only.
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.
