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

for all intents and purposes i am referring to communist societies and communist states

hey i just look at the statistics, my friend

it starves its people and you cant deny this

i can get some statistics if you want me to

Yeah no reason to even look into why that is

Don't even consider any conditions or problems

It's obviously the planning

i can see how you think that

I'm not going to talk with you if you're so uneducated about everything

You will literally gain no knowledge from this if you don't even understand communism

but you have it all wrong here see

all types of government intervention is detrimental

government cant control everything and the things it does control are better off in the peoples' hands
