    Dubai isn’t successful, it’s a rich fucks playground but no one wants to actually live in the shithole country.

    A successful country is one where human rights are enjoyed by all, where people are happy, free, and safe. Where the needs are met, and people don’t die unnecessarily.

      there are people who do want to live there (criminals wanted by their home countries with enough money to stay afloat, as long as uae decides to not extradite them)

        I’d argue they don’t actually want to live there, it’s just that they’ve run out of other options.

        You probably wont like this. Most places who actually care about everyone (except those who want to change that) are socialists. Either authoritarian or libertarian socialists.
