You mean apart from not getting shot if you want to leave the country or being sent to be worked to death in a prison labor camp for a dissenting opinion?

Still don't know what you're talking about. Anyway, in capitalist free America people are shot for knocking in the neighbour's door, is that better? Lest we talk about the private jail system that demands prisoners, in order to be sustainable.

Have you never heard about the USSR, the GDR or communist China?

The Soviet Union, Cuba, Vietnam. Are these countries you want us to model ourselves after?

Yes. All of those countries had more civil rights and longer life expectancy after the revolution

Oh yeah that makes sense. Because a revolution automatically means that your life expectancy increases. At this point, let's just have continuous revoltuions back to back. We'll live forever.

No, overthrowing capitalism and beginning a transition to a more rational economic system increases your life expectancy. You can literally look up graphs.
