You can leave the country if you don't like capitalism. You won't get shot in back for it. Your family won't be executed.

You can say fuck Biden, or fuck trump, and you won't get sent to gulag for it (yet).

There's levels of bad and communist dictatorships are quite the pinnacle.

    Until 2020 you could get up to 5 years of prison in the Netherlands (same for our head of state). Now you can still can get up to 6 months. Or a nice visit by the police. (Friend said some not nice things on Instagram about Netanyahu. Just that he is a fascist and asshole(and he is). They spend a night in jail.)

    Is it as bad as a gulag? Probably not. But in Theory I can now go to prison. So no living in a capitalist country doesn't mean I can say whatever I want about people. Including trump or Biden
