as a result

are you sure that's because of the free market

uh, yes

and not technical advances?

technical advances are a result of capitalism

lower prices are a result of

competition

@Deleted User Oh you said that "OG social democratic party was marxist"

The term had different meaning in the past. Like in the Russian Social Democratic Labour Party which turned into Bolsheviks.

@EALootcrates Not exactly, they are supplied and funded by capitalism, but are not the direct cause of advancements.

capitalism pushes for innovation

the crave for success and profit

the competition

And is that not to say that different systems would not push for innovation?

so cuba has the highest life expectancy in all of NA even though there were no job creators to innovate and all the doctors just lay around in bed all day and aren't paid anything

sectors that have already been explored into

are less profitable

okay, if cuba is such a great nation

```[8:20 PM] pepesfortrump: capitalism pushes for innovation

i'm going to pull out some stats

need I remind you that the country has been under a trade embargo for decades?

@Deleted User yeah you're correct, partially due to asymmetric information

@Deleted User In cuba, I would assume life expectancy would go up due to everybody having to provide for themselves and work hard for themselves in that country.

lol

the regime of cuba

that is the point of socialism

established a few dozen spots

with wifi available

the average salary in cuba

is 20 america dollars

per month

*american

the state has a chokehold on all the economic sectors

tourism is the most profitable to this day

In a third-world country blocked off from almost all trade routes

capitalist reforms have been introduced in cuba

since 2008

and so the doctors just magically started working because some shareholders were happy?

gee whiz

lol

@Deleted User Hmm, you make an interesting point, but there are still several parts of cuba in which people still suffer in.

there are very few doctors in cuba
