Socrates didn´t even dream of leaving Athens - He thought it most the most civilized state of all. he only left it twice as far as I remember, and even that was only under commands, in battle.

The option which Socrates did choose himself was to take the full penalty of an unjust law. this option is also available in non-democratic states, only its a lot less healthy. civil disobidience in anywhere but a democracy will probably lead to an untimely and a cruel death.
