    sure, but lets factor in the brutal sanctions, and how the north is sectioned off on mostly unfertile mountain land.

    stop doing that to cuba btw, its starting to stink. if socialism were so bad i think you could let them fail fair and square, and show us how bad it actually is, no?

      How cute that you always have an excuse for why life under your favorite regimes that actually follow your ideal policies instead of departing from ML orthodoxy is always so dog shite, without exception. Almost like MLs are just fascists searching for excuses to brutalize the proletariat.

      Sure. I’ve been an opponent of sanctions on Cuba for years. Btw, you want to remind me how many capitalist countries are sanctioning Cuba right now? I always lose track.

      Hillary Clinton, the boogeyman, also supports lifting sanctions, I suppose since she’s such a good socialist?

      Also, if the ML systems you so adore can’t operate without being subsidized by capitalism, aren’t they really just extensions of capitalist regimes?

        Cuba isn’t even their dream communist utopia in terms of their own ideology, but they don’t care. Cuba hasn’t nationalized their extremely lucrative tourism industry. The massive profits from those fancy resorts aren’t being redistributed to the workers.

        But apparently they think that as long as you call yourself communist, you are.

        See also: China- private property ownership and investment, billionaires and a fucking stock exchange. I actually had a Tankie tell me that if I just read Marx, I would see that earning capital is a feature of communism. That’s how nuts these people are.

      Go ahead and mentally travel in time to when there are only socialist countries left on earth.

      With all the dirty liberal countries wiped out, who do the socialists blame for every bad thing that happens?

      Oh no, your leader got caught embezzling “guess we missed a lib at the last culling”. Get fucked lmao
