    In the real world people of Cuba are more satisfied with their government than Americans.

    And it’s not hard to understand why given that a quarter of the population is starving in US. 64% of Americans live hand to mouth. 37% work two full time jobs, and an average person has around 100k debt. If that’s your idea of a functioning economy you should get your head checked.

        You want to starve poor people, so you are a murderer.

            Your post came across to me as “poor people in usa have more than enough to eat, so they can’t starve”

                Then why do they work? The whole economy there runs on the threat of starving. With the horrible work conditions poor people face there, they would not work in those conditions if they were unable to starve.

        You can spin it however you like, but the reality is that a quarter of people in US don’t have enough food to eat. There are tent cities all across the country due to rampant homelessness. Healthcare in inaccessible and regularly bankrupts people. Cuba has none of these problems. In fact, Cuba ranks as world’s most sustainable developed country.

        Communism works while capitalism creates failed states like the US. That’s the reality of the world.

            You have to specify for whom US or Cuba is a better place to live. Millions of people in US have far worse lives than people in Cuba despite the fact that US has an incomparable amount of wealth. Given the resources that Cuba has available to it, there is no question that Cuba does a much better job than US ensuring that they’re used to improve the lives of the majority.

            You keep on doing the coping there. You’re a real champ at it. At least we can agree that what US has done to Cuba and Haiti is indeed tragic. If only these countries were allowed to develop without the oppression of the empire. Good thing US is headed for the collapse, so the rest of the world can finally breathe.
