Just about all people who migrate from socialist countries to capitalist one do so for economic reasons not ideological ones, this is self evident in that its very rare for one to migrate to a capitalist global south country.

All (successful) revolution so far have happened in global south/backwards/periphery countries so in many cases while socialism raised living standard of all working people, its still better to live in the imperial core for some people, so reality is that in cases like Cuba and Venezuela they arent fleeing communism they are fleeing the legacy of colonialism or they are fleeing the sanctions imposed on socialist countries (which is an attempt to re establish a colonial relation so kinda the same). Or in the case of the no longer existing socialist countries in eastern Europe its a little different people were fleeing lesser development rather than colonialism. And in both cases they were participating in brain drain which is also a pretty big driver.

a plane using hydrogen wouldn't make it any less safe if anything it could be safer in general since hydrogen is less toxic and less hazardous than jet fuel, Hydrogen plane would be a good thing, not like THE solution to climate change but good.

also air travel is basically the only thing in the capitalist world that has adequate regulation, unsafe passenger planes would not make it to a runway.

the meme would only be accurate if what Hegel was doing was saying "imagine some sort of metal thing that makes other metal things go fast" and then Marx and Engels made a gun.

Seriously Hegels contribution to marxism is hugely overstated, almost everything he wrote on philosophy was nonsense and everything he wrote on natural philosophy was wrong, he only really contributed idealist dialectics and that was so under-cooked that Marx and Engels spent a whole book making the idea good, while dunking on him and similar idealist.

maybe the real question is if the banks would even know were the person was and if those debt collection agencies would have any legal backing for that debt in China.

yeah people do that, a friend of mine moved from Mexico to the usa and before doing so maxed out every credit card they had with mexican banks, and it hasnt backfired yet tho its only been 2 years since he migrated theres still time for it to come back and bite him.

it doesnt matter they dont exists the other people do, killing people isnt bad because there are less people around its bad cuz u fucking killed someone, maximizing the number of people on earth isnt some moral imperative.

also they are potential, if i crush the guys balls they wont exist so the trolley can at best see potential futures.

potential future lives arent lives, run over the guys balls this isnt even a dilemma.
