Lol
@Deleted User Of course, why woulden't quality of life decrease over time after a giant and long lasting country collapsed, and you really have the ego to claim that china, vietnam, the near collapse USSR, and cuba, didn't become capitalist?
Cuba is not capitalist, and it's obvious that the USSR implemented market-oriented policies and economic liberalization not long before it's collapse.
That's a primary factor that contributed to its collapse lol.
@Deleted User So then you admit that the USSR was indeed capitalist later on?
Regulation =/= Nationalization.
Of course. That's an undeniable fact. And lmao, you clearly don't understand how small the private sector is in Cuba.
@Deleted User Under marxism, shoulden't private and capitalist elements be outright illegalized?
Cuba is a shithole
Idk what "under Marxism" means, but in ideal conditions and under a fully-developed socialist system, that would be true.
@Queef Madagascar Agreed, but that is a topic for another day.
@Deleted User I meant, in the marxist belief system.
Every country is capitalist today
Sure they might call themself something else but they are
@Queef Madagascar Ehh, not really when you look at the islamic states and north korea.
Saudi is capitalist
And North korea is a true shithole
Saudi arabia can barely be called an islamic state.
The best option is a mix of private and public
@nerd 0% public or private? Now I am intrigued.
Imagine being this consumed by ideology
Public and "private sector" limited to co-ops
@Queef Madagascar Cuba is a "shithole"? Is that why they have one of the best healthcare systems in all of Latin America? Or how about the fact that they offer free university-level education? How about the fact that homelessness and job insecurity are virtually non-existent? What about the lung cancer vaccine they recently developed? And all under a bullshit embargo that was imposed on them decades ago. Damn, what a shithole.
stalin was great
@Deleted User To be fair, you don't know for sure whether or not those claims are truthful thanks to cuba's shut in situation, but then again, I haven't heard anything that disagree's with that statement yet.
woah such great healthcare
>cuba is a poor country that struggles to provide housing
you know what they say, what you pay for is what you get
communist countries are famous for lying to their citizens, they lied about the gulags and they lied about the west
cuba is fudging their stats
so i watched a bunch of richard wolff and his socialism explanations
