Look at how Cuba actually is, not leftist talking points: They live like dogs. They have 6hrs of electricity per day, no medicine, no eggs, black markets, everything is run down, no jobs, no future. Don't forget that communist education is an indoctrination camp. They are brainwashed from day one with communist dogma.

This is what Cuba's schools are like: Skip to 26:34

I don't know of such a book. It's hard to trust economists.

No. Cuban doctors are poor relative to other Cuban professions. You can literally earn more money as a delivery boy in Cuba than as a doctor. A Cuban doctor cannot afford to buy a single carton of eggs. There is nothing positive about Cuba's style of government. The medical system in Cuba is miserable. Healthcare should be expensive because: 1) health is worth a lot, 2) doctors invest a lot in their education and work a lot, 3) mistakes in this field are deadly and costly. Doctors who cannot afford a carton of eggs is nothing to be proud of.

Absolutely that will happen.

Good. Some progress.

So what? Those doctors live like dogs. A Cuban doctor makes less money that an Uber driver. It's pathetic. Cuba is shit. Stop making excuses for it.

What does this prove? A 50 cal anti-vehicle round?

No major conservative has called for that. You are talking about crazy extremists. And progressives call for Bush and Cheney to be punished as war crimimals, but that's not the same thing.

You watch too many Hollywood movies. Real bullets don't knock anyone back. Celebrating political violence is more than just political correctness. Imagine if AOC was killed and right-wingers were celebrating. You know that is wrong. And of course they would celebrate that, but the left is supposed to be better than that. If people were celebrating the murder of AOC you would rightly feel upset at them for being animals. You would count that against their side. So of course right-wingers feel that way.

Again, overlooking the elephant in the room. Marxism has failed in every place it was tried. You can't blame all of that on the US, although Marxists will certainly try.

@Schizophonia You're overlooking the elephant in the room: Marxism/socialism/communism is a stupid fantasy.

Cuba is a total disaster today. Watch some vidoes of vloggers visiting Cuba. That talking point about doctors is BS. Cuba has no medicine for doctors to do anything.

Kamala has no substance. She is like a cardboard cut-out politician. That's why she lost. She's not "real".

How quickly Xi would fall if his party let up on their survelience state. The CCP is certainly afraid of their people.

I am aware of his bigotry in general. Still, it is not conscious to dance on someone's grave, even if he was a bigot.

It's okay for now. I don't want to silence people until things get out of hand. This is a fresh news story so people will speculate.

Scandinavian-style social democrats. West-North EU, basically.

Not in any serious way. A serious answer to that question would require a lot of prep of material. But, in general, they suffer from the same problem all ideologies suffer from: a lack of grounding, with foolish, fantastical ideas that fail to work in the complexities of real life. If you just read the history of fascism and communism as it was enacted you will see all the problems and points of failure.

I've been seeing a lot of talk in western media and on this forum about how insane, crazy, or evil Putin is. Well, such talk should immediately make you suspicious of your own worldview. This video offers a much better perspective of Russia's and Putin's perspective than anything I have seen coming from Western media. What I see consistently is that people in the West fail to consider Russia's security interests at all in this situation. They just dismiss that as a cover for Putin's personal lust for power or Putin's delusional view of history. Don't take this as a justification for Putin's war, but as a way of understanding the situation better. If you cannot understand the survival agenda of your adversary then you will not be able to correctly predict his actions and negotiate with him. That's the point. This is not about morality, it's about being understanding. You can't have peace with someone you fail to understand. This is also not about blaming the US or the West, or creating some kind of moral false equivalencies. It's about understanding how to prevent conflict.

What I see is a gaggle of monkeys throwing shit at the wall and calling it truth-seeking.

Stop with this animalness. You make everyone on the left look bad.

All three are delusional ideologies that are beyond redemption. You can find plenty of books on the disasters of each. I have a few in my book list and will add more in the future.
