AI (ie., Captain Obvious) says:

Throughout the 20th century, socialist governments rose in Eastern Europe, Asia, Africa, and Latin America, often promising to eliminate poverty, reduce inequality, and place the needs of the people above those of the wealthy. Initially, these promises generated widespread enthusiasm, with citizens believing that government planning would be more efficient than free markets, collective ownership would ensure fairness, and centralized control would bring prosperity for all.

However, in practice, many of these systems fell short of expectations. A recurring problem was the concentration of power. When governments took control of large parts of the economy, leaders gained significant influence over employment, investment, production, and distribution. Over time, this authority often expanded into other areas of society, eroding economic and political freedoms. When livelihoods became heavily dependent on the state, dissent became harder, and individual choice more limited.

Another key factor was the impact of incentives. Human beings respond to rewards, risks, and opportunities. Free-market systems, despite their flaws, consistently encouraged innovation, entrepreneurship, and productivity, leading to economic growth. In contrast, heavily centralized systems often suffered from bureaucratic inefficiency, slow decision-making, and disconnection from local realities, resulting in shortages, inefficiencies, and declining productivity.

These conditions contributed to mass flight from socialist regimes. In Eastern Europe, for example, the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989 symbolized the mass exodus of people seeking freedom and economic opportunity Similar patterns occurred in other regions where citizens sought to escape political repression, economic stagnation, and the loss of personal freedoms.

In sum, history shows that while socialism began with noble ideals, its centralized control, loss of freedoms, and economic inefficiencies often drove millions to leave — not just politically, but physically — in search of better lives

…following multiple tech owners fleeing the state’s massive taxes which is needed to fund their unsustainable policies.

CA is horribly positioned to compete in a free market after years of liberal policy slippage. It is rapidly turning into a dependent state - its only hope being either a change in political viewpoint and policy, or continuous bail outs at the expense of others.
This is why Dems support communism and socialism.
