Define socialism. The original and technically correct definition and the colloquial modern definition are wildly different from one another.

In theory I could just move back to England, but right now I'm quite happy where I'm at. If a job opportunity came up, who knows?
Yup! My youngest son wants to when he is old enough.
One problem is the stereotypically ideal socialist countries -- the Scandinavian ones -- have very tough immigration rules
They also have unique circumstances around racial / cultural homogeneity and sovereign wealth / resources that help with cohesiveness and generous benefits -- and those can't be easily replicated
You're going to get two answers here, corresponding to the two kinds of socialists: "My kind of socialism doesn't exist yet" and "Yes I'd immigrate to the secretly highly-developed and free nation of North Korea"
It looks like you've got a lot of people that call their version of capitalism "socialism" as well.
