Im not sure what you mean by socialist countries. But communists countries are more oppresive:
They have leaders that stay in power for decades. Opposition is often punished.
There is nor freedom of speech, speaking against the government gets you in jail or worse.
In some of those countries, people are not allowed to leave the country.
And for the record, I agree that poverty is extremely oppressive as well and we need more socialist reforms in capitalist countries, tax harder the rich, break monopolies, foster more unions and so on, I just dont agree that communism is the magical land you all think it is and the solution to all the problems. Nobody seems to want immigrate to North Korea for a reason.
