Lifted Billions out of poverty.And if you think that the above makes Cuba a worthy place to live, they have certainly got you fooled. The Cuban government also emphasized "literacy" but that certainly doesn't help the majority of Cuban citizens - they don't have free speech, they can't write what they really feel about things, and they don't have freedom to go anywhere unless approved by the government.
Of course if there are those in the U.S. & Canada that want "socialism" they'll soon discover it's not all it's cut out to be. If one wants the government to make all your decisions, then certainly, move to Cuba or N. Korea, Iran or Russia - cuz apparently their socialism works really well - NOT!! I wonder why there are those who think socialism is a utopia when, over the decades it's proven to be the opposite. What is the saying - keep trying to do the same thing over and over again with the same negative result - what's it called? oh yeah, insanity.
Unfortunately, man has a reputation for being greedy; socialism simply brings out the sociopaths who like to control every aspect of other peoples lives, determine who does what and where etc. They are power hungry (aka Democrats & Liberals have already proven this big time) and have only their own interests at heart.
Socialism is evil in and of itself and is just a small step away from Communism. One offers very few choices while the other no choice at all. That is not a world that I personally would want to live in.
Capitalism may not be perfect but it's the best we have at present and has lifted millions of lives out of poverty. We can make our own choices, determine what and how we live our lives. We all have "free will" and we need to take responsibility over our decisions. Some people don't make the right decision and that's on them. Do you really think that "government" can make better choices for us? Seriously? That is the bottom line.
They don’t knock.And we can bitch and whine to our hearts content on the internet without worry of th3 midnight knock on the front door .

... that would be difficult. a country of 11 million people that have millions of tourists a year going to be held back by some armed guards,lmao. it's like a Cuban cab driver said to me, Cuba's poverty is related to america's foreign policy against it.
That stat doesn't look too good if you take China out of the equation. Most people that were taken out of poverty are in China.Lifted Billions out of poverty.
According to the World Bank, more than 850 million Chinese people have been lifted out of extreme poverty; China's poverty rate fell from 88 percent in 1981 to 0.7 percent in 2015, as measured by the percentage of people living on the equivalent of US$1.90 or less per day in 2011 purchasing price parity terms.[4][5]
Meanwhile in shithole USA , poverty and homelessness rises. Canada, U.K as well.You hate it so much here, move to Cuba, and don't let the door hit you in the ass on the way out.
Personally, I think every socialist and communist to be executed. They are no better than a Child Rapist.
Communism Killed 94M in 20th Century, Feels Need to Kill Again
hehe, that guy is a really dumb person that right wingers actually believe is intelligent. kind of makes you pause and wonder in awe then at how dumb the average right winger actually is. the amount of times simply common sense can destroy his shit takes is hysterical.
Socialism for thee and not for me, comrade!
The stat doesn’t look as good if India and/or Indonesia are out of the equation. All three countries have become more capitalist with their economies in the past few decades which has lowered the poverty rates significantly in those countries.That stat doesn't look too good if you take China out of the equation.

Sorry about your luck .Meanwhile in shithole USA , poverty and homelessness rises. Canada, U.K as well.

And China as well . Opening up their markets has lifted so many out of poverty .The stat doesn’t look as good if India and/or Indonesia are out of the equation.

Did you never notice that poverty rises in a direct line with leftards protesting every economic project that comes along? Drug abuse is a direct result of socialist policies.Meanwhile in shithole USA , poverty and homelessness rises. Canada, U.K as well.
So is corruption regardless of politics.Did you never notice that poverty rises in a direct line with leftards protesting every economic project that comes along? Drug abuse is a direct result of socialist policies.

If communism was so fukking great, why would thousands be risking their lives to escape it.
If communism is so fukking great what are you doing here in Canada.. leave, move to Venezuela, Cuba or Russia and fukk off already.
Utter bullshit. My parents came to Canada with nothing and through their own initiative and hard work ended up living very comfortably.So is corruption regardless of politics.
And about drug abuse, who is able to afford the high cost of prescription opioids and opiates?
Most economies are engineered towards making the well-to-do rich, and the wealthy, wealthier and keeping the poverty-stricken, in relative poverty.
