Yes I don't disagree with many people of prior generations excaping the likes of a Stalin. Or today escaping the likes of the Taliban.I am talking about younger fairly well educated people who know they could come to America or Canada and choose not to. Life is relative. I have travelled a fair bit and with my degree I could easily move to and work in the United States - and indeed, one day I very well may. I'm not trying to come across as insulting to the west - since I live in Western Canada and can't think of a better place to live. However, I am also the type of person who wishes not to settle on the now. I think the west can do and be so much more than it is and in some ways there is a regression.
Geographically and anthropologically the West has created and continues to create a boxed in parking lot society. We are moving away from personal human contact to internet forums (the irony is in this very message) text messages. We work in cubicles and drive cars shielding away from others. I know people who would be mortified at the thought of taking a Public Bus or Sky-train(subway). That would mean they might see someone not of their "breeding."
I believe the improvement that one reads in 19th century idealism presented in much literature (and in Star Trek) is worth going for...and Western civilization is primed to go there. As soon as the power is taken away from corporate America (or corporate world) and ideas such as Socialism is not referred to as Communism.
