until their inevitable collapse

You mean trade?

Which happens with all nations?

a nation has to be at least self-sustaining

russia during the USSR had tons of resources

the nationalization of those resources led to poor management and a lack of work incentive

as a result the people starved

How did they lack work incentive

they were practically being forced to work on government operated farms

They were still paid

What do you mean forced

explain the bread lines and the high bread prices

1 loaf a day

In the 1930s the kulaks burned a fuckton of their crops

Which caused the shortages

And then there were some in the 1980s which is when there was market reforms

alright

explain cuba's situation

What is their situation

they're a communist nation

how are they doing

They're doing decent

Compared to surrounding countries they have a higher standard of living

they also have technology that was manufactured in the 1960's

their people are also hungry

economically they are going nowhere

Lmao the US has an embargo on them

No shit they can't get anywhere

why would a communist nation need to trade with other countries

how could they use up all their resources and not be self sufficient

Why are you saying communist nation

capitalist countries are doing just fine regarding food

I thought you said you understand socialism/communism

they constantly make more food and the store shelves are overflowed

what do you mean

what did i say

You keep saying "communist nation"

a communist state would be a better term

That's an oxymoron

Okay well you proved you know nothing about marxism/communism/socialism

Goodbye
