Most communist countries have strict immigration restrictions. Also people can be communist and it’s not their top-of-mind issue. For instance I don’t love the politics of Toronto but it’s close to friends and family, which is more important to me (which is why I moved here from Montreal, whose politics I prefer).

im not a communist but i moved to vietnam and it was awesome, better quality of life than USA. it was extremely hard to do, it only worked because i was a self employed sole prop and relatively rich, and it fell apart when i came back to USA for a marriage certificate and got covid locked down in USA for >1y so i just stayed in short, ive done it, it was great, and no, communists shouldn't have to do it, no offense but i really hate this question, super shortsighted leaving your home isn't easy, takes a ton of resources (or a real immediate threat), disrupts every part of your life (social, work, medical) also id never become a full citizen there, no matter what i do, so it's a significant blow to your social status (being an immigrant/tourist anywhere is second tier, period) but nobody should have to leave their home just because they disagree with their neighbors. everyone on earth (and most especially in USA) has the right to try to make their immediate surroundings reflect their values.

These days, communists are nationalists first and jingoists second whether they admit it or not. IE, “I must save this glorious country” followed by “let me now save your glorious country.” BUT. There are other reasons: Going back to Lenin’s “What Is To Be Done” from 1902 he lays out that there is an imperative for all workers to rise up in each country in pursuit of a global communism - there must be an “organized revolutionary struggle within each country.” So the more hardcore Leninites have “holy scripture” (as it were) insisting on their staying put and doing the revolution here. It was only under Stalin that the idea that communism was working even if it only worked in one country was considered acceptable. The idea of giving up on communism anywhere else would have been akin to blasphemy.

They probably can. But what about their freedom to vibe wherever the Party pleases for them?
