Lol

2018-02-27 23:36:28 UTC  

@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?

2018-02-27 23:37:23 UTC  

Cuba is not capitalist, and it's obvious that the USSR implemented market-oriented policies and economic liberalization not long before it's collapse.

2018-02-27 23:37:54 UTC  

That's a primary factor that contributed to its collapse lol.

2018-02-27 23:39:10 UTC  

@Deleted User So then you admit that the USSR was indeed capitalist later on?

Regulation =/= Nationalization.

2018-02-27 23:39:48 UTC  

Of course. That's an undeniable fact. And lmao, you clearly don't understand how small the private sector is in Cuba.

2018-02-27 23:40:45 UTC  

@Deleted User Under marxism, shoulden't private and capitalist elements be outright illegalized?

2018-02-27 23:43:56 UTC  

Cuba is a shithole

2018-02-27 23:44:06 UTC  

Idk what "under Marxism" means, but in ideal conditions and under a fully-developed socialist system, that would be true.

2018-02-27 23:44:14 UTC  

@Queef Madagascar Agreed, but that is a topic for another day.

2018-02-27 23:44:33 UTC  

@Deleted User I meant, in the marxist belief system.

2018-02-27 23:44:42 UTC  

Every country is capitalist today

2018-02-27 23:44:56 UTC  

Sure they might call themself something else but they are

2018-02-27 23:45:17 UTC  

@Queef Madagascar Ehh, not really when you look at the islamic states and north korea.

2018-02-27 23:45:31 UTC  

Saudi is capitalist

2018-02-27 23:45:55 UTC  

And North korea is a true shithole

2018-02-27 23:46:17 UTC  

Saudi arabia can barely be called an islamic state.

2018-02-27 23:46:18 UTC  

The best option is a mix of private and public

2018-02-27 23:46:53 UTC  

the best mix of private and public is 0% private <:blobsmirk:396521731185180684>

2018-02-27 23:48:03 UTC  

@nerd 0% public or private? Now I am intrigued.

2018-02-27 23:56:45 UTC  

Imagine being this consumed by ideology

2018-02-27 23:57:14 UTC  

Public and "private sector" limited to co-ops

2018-02-27 23:58:54 UTC  

@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.

2018-02-28 00:01:49 UTC  

stalin was great

2018-02-28 00:05:56 UTC  

@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.

2018-02-28 00:09:58 UTC  

woah such great healthcare

2018-02-28 00:11:06 UTC  

>cuba is a poor country that struggles to provide housing

2018-02-28 00:11:47 UTC  

you know what they say, what you pay for is what you get
