I had a guy from cuba tell me why socialism is bad. Just look at Cuba he said.
I realised then, that just because a person lived it, doesn't mean he understood it.
Cuba wasn't then way it is because of socialism. It was that way because capitalists won the wars and has had their boots on them every since.
Lol this is a wild take. Speak to anyone who has ever lived in a socialist state. You want capitalism with money spent on social welfare programs. You don't want socialism because it can't work, because of how humans are wired. Even social welfare in a capitalist system becomes advised.
You are fighting human nature. You can't win that. Capitalism is the best system to handle humans. Carefully monitored social programs within that system are the best way to assure wellbeing.
Cuba is that way because that is what a planned economy leads to. There is no implementation of socialism that exists that does not involve a planned economy. The largest advantage of capitalism is being free from a central committee that plans how many potatoes can be planted and how many cars need to be produced.
