See how you didn't even have to ask which country it was? Because a 100% of communist countries became dictatorships ridden with poverty for the working class and gold plated luxury for the ruling class.

I'm happy now somewhere in the middle in this terrible, terrible capitalism. Oh, and I'm free to leave anytime I want, if I don't like it.

Grade-school level history: I didn't need to ask which country because all of the possible countries were puppet states of a single other country...

Because a 100% of communist countries became dictatorships [...]

There are a total of 0 communist countries throughout history. Your lack of very basic knowledge is starting to make me cringe.

I’m happy now somewhere in the middle in this terrible, terrible capitalism.

That's irrelevant. If you're happy while I'm driving a nail through your eyes, does that make driving a nail through someone's eyes a good thing? The fact that you are privileged doesn't make a difference.

Oh, and I’m free to leave anytime I want

No, you're not. Your statement is so completely uneducated, I couldn't even guess where to begin dismantling it.
