But anyway I don't see how this is relevant
youve been to cuba and know less about it than I do
its just another example of a backwards and regressive communist government
and internet is illegal in private homes in cuba
I can't believe you're using cuba as a positive example here
I never said I was for prohibiting internet access, I should said that having a public option for housing would be beneficial
but we do
Said*
we have state housing
and we do it better than any communist country ever did
since we dont force you to live in them
theyre there if you need them
Which country do you live in?
new zealand
but you have the same in America
I agree with the fact that Cuba is definitely too authorian on that matter, but my point was a public option doesn't have to mean bad maintainance
and yet it always does
Not really though. Cubas boycott means they can't really prioritise anything, so I'm saying with a budget
it wouldn't be a problem
yeah and plus with them being a socialist government, their public spending was catastrophic and that coupled with their insanely high military budget it caused the USSR to collapse
and thats what happens in socialist countries
And in the US
runaway public spending and debt based economies are unsustainable by nature
yes
I wouldn't exactly say USA is an amazing capitalist country
take a look at this; http://www.bbc.com/news/health-35073966
The reason why USSR had to focus on military was mostly due to ww2 and getting threats from everywhere
yeah it was a clash for global hegemony
which they ultimately lost because their ideology and economy was unsustainable
much the same can be said for the west, just we had a far more robust system in place
Which they mostly lost due to imperialism
one that actually incentivized people to work instead of having to coerce them
which is why no western nation has ever had to build walls to stop people from leaving
Which in it's self is betreyal to anything leftist
imperialism is the nature of civilization itself
its its natural conclusion
Imperialism is the nature of capitalism
power begets more power
Not civilisation
