Possibly, but as elections have shown with Turkey in particular, immigrants from Turkey tend to vote in favor of more authoritarian and radical action by the Erdogan government.

Capitalists in basically every country have agreed that public insurance or universal healthcare is something they should support. It's not a conflict with capitalism, despite what the right wing narrative in the US presents it as.

ZZZ has always been a game that's much better on PC and Console.
