If you'd argue that then you don't understand what socialism is. Socialism is a transitional state between capitalism and communism where workers have taken power in society, but vestigial capitalist economic relations still remain. The working class does not hold power in Canada or even have any meaningful participation in politics. Canadians are allowed once every few years to decide which particular representatives of the oppressing class are to represent and repress them.
It does seem insane when you just make things up that have nothing to do with reality.
I absolutely would live in China, and I've been learning Mandarin for the past year for the express purpose of moving there at some point. I've met plenty of people from China in university, many of whom moved back since. Knowing what people from China actually say about life in China compared to deranged fantasies people in the west appear to have, there's little question regarding where I'd rather live given a choice.
