>Are there not plentiful examples of "Socialist" societies attempting to enforce more and harsher mandates, against anyone not willing to "give their fair share"?
You mean like if you don't pay taxes you go to jail? or if you don't work you live on the street?
There are certainly harsher places to be, but the US is not friendly to people who do not "give their fair share." It's already mandatory.
I guess, but "completely free to leave" is a bit of an illusion... it's not at all easy to do so, and even if you do... you still owe taxes until you renounce citizenship.
I also don't really see barring people from leaving as an inherent requirement to socialism, if that's what you were saying.
