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.
Lifted Billions out of poverty.

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.

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]

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.

And China as well . Opening up their markets has lifted so many out of poverty .

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.
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.

Meanwhile in shithole USA , poverty and homelessness rises. Canada, U.K as well.




Well it is PRETTY OBVIOUS that the west and the east are CROSSING PATHS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Look at the Soviet Union and leader Joe Stalin - who MURDERED over 50 million people............................


IN A HOPELESS EFFORT to make Communism WORK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Or look at Chinese Chairman Mao with his "Great Leap Forward' five year economic plan.........................


that resulted in THIRTY MILLION DEATHS by hanging and firing squad and etc........................


and also caused such economic CHAOS that another 20 million people STARVED TO DEATH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Communism FAILED SO BADLY IN RUSSIA that it COLLAPSED COMPLETELY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


And Communism FAILED SO BADLY IN CHINA............................


that very senior officials managed to discreetly label Mao as SENILE..................................


AND RETIRED HIM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


And then the party got on with the job of introducing FREE MARKET REFORMS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


As for the west - a cabal of LIE-beral SWINE have bought and bribed their way to positions of power.......................


using the GREEDY HOGS of our civil service unions......................................


along with other special interest groups such as Idle No More- representing drugged, drunken, ill educated........................


AND SUICIDAL RESERVE DWELLING NATIVES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


And Black Lives Matter - the delusional bigots who think reverse discrimination will solve EVERYTHING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


China is more capitalist oriented than it used to be..............................


and the west is being increasingly dominated by SOCIALIST DICTATORS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Utter bullshit. My parents came to Canada with nothing and through their own initiative and hard work ended up living very comfortably.
