I wouldn't, because speaking out is useless. Our current freedom of speech hasn't brought free healthcare, jobs, living wages, or affordable homes any closer. The genius of the American plutocracy is convincing the working class that free speech enables all of these, in spite of the last fifty years showing that it does nothing of the sort.
Reminds me of how, for Cuba-loving leftists, the first thing they cite is how under the Castro regime the literacy rate hit 99%. Hey, that's great. But if there's no freedom of speech, what are people going to read besides state propaganda?
China doesn't have good Mexican food. But they really are a remarkable country. Building high speed rail over their entire country in a few years, shiny new hospitals in days during a pandemic. Sometimes I wish they would occupy California and shut down our racist concentration camps (sorry, for-profit prisons), then ship the homeless to dorms in the Central Valley. Of course, they would also build out our high speed rail in a couple of weeks, just as they are modernizing Africa (rather than dropping "aid" like Americans).
Sadly, most countries don't have good Mexican food. Pet theory is easy for undocumented/labour Mexicans to sneak into US who absorbs 98% of the diasphora. Rest of world has dearth of Mexicans who opens restaurants because that's not a skill set they look for in economic migrants. Lucky to have some good Mexican joints in major Canadian city, but most places don't. That extra border hop filters out a lot.

Ah, the high speed rail network to podunk provincial towns where nobody can actually afford the fares. Built by taking on insane levels of debt which will hobble China Railway for decades to come.
> shiny new hospitals in days during a pandemic
And yet keep imposing lockdowns while the rest of the world has limped back to normal. All the while pushing inferior vaccines and ineffective cures.
Do you understand how bad the healthcare system in China is?
Even highly paid software engineers have to resort to smuggling medicines from India because of the absurd costs at home. I know because I personally helped my colleagues procure anti-cancer drugs.
> then ship the homeless to dorms
I think the preferred term is reeducation camps.
> just as they are modernizing Africa
By building white elephant projects and leaving them with unsustainable levels of debt. Do you see a pattern?
I've always heard it attributed to WWII era wage controls. You couldn't compete on salary so you had to come up with other benefits to tie to your job.
