        There’s a very factual reason for why people would “go native” and never want to come back, many but not all Native American tribes and societies were very egalitarian

      You’ll be surprised. My observation as someone grew up in a communist country is that Americans who use “communism” as a threat to the world actually really love the PRC and will go out of their way praising the PRC.

        Currently in the PRC, they would probably hate the idea that people they think are below them can live in an apartment for like 300 USD, eat out every day, and be seen enjoying themselves and dancing/gambling in the evenings.

        A large wealthy heavily urbanized and industrial country with high quality of life, a highly educated population, low instances of poverty and crime, and virtually no homelessness as a direct consequence of government policy.

        It’s everything Americans say they want when they talk about the American Dream.

        What Americans couldn’t handle was seeing all the non-white people in positions of wealth and power.

        Native peoples setting domestic policy in a rich and powerful nation? An absolute nightmare for the American elite class.
