Socialism vs Capitalism: a short history lesson for those of you

[Alinvegas]

Cuba’s standard of living has skyrocketed since the revolution. If it were poor because of socialism, the U.S. wouldn’t need blockades and terrorism to sabotage their economy, and they wouldn’t be afraid to let Americans go to Cuba and see what it is like for themselves, without the fog of propaganda.

Why don't you go, and let us know how much you enjoy it.

If capitalism was all that and a bucket of fries no one would be looking for something better. Capitalism is the rich take all.

If that were True. The same folks who were rich 200 years ago would be rich now, and no one else. The ones that fail- get away from capitalism.

It is poor. Everyone is just equally poor. well, except for the leaders.

The people who are rich 200 years ago are dead. But the same families that were rich 200 years ago are (for the most part) the families that are rich now.

So your criticism of Cuba is based on the false claim that it is just like any capitalist country?

Now contrast:

China and India
Cuba and Haiti
Any socialist country under the previous capitalist regime vs. under a workers’ state.

So there are socialist Utopias for some? Good the socialists can move there.

So there are capitalist Utopias for others? Good the capitalists can move there.

Capitalists and socialists need to leave the other the fvck alone already. Bye bye Eats.

Utopianism is the vice of a social class doomed by history. The middle classes in particular.

Capitalists are advocates of power for the rich. Socialists are advocates of power for the poor. But the rich cannot live without the poor. And the poor cannot live without the rich except by defeating political capitalism once and for all by tearing out every one of its private-property roots.

Okay, chicken little.

Capitalists are advocates of power for the rich.

Simply not true.

Socialists are advocates of power for the poor.

No, socialists are for theft.

But the rich cannot live without the poor. And the poor cannot live without the rich except by defeating political capitalism once and for all by tearing out every one of its private-property roots.

Like I said. You have your socialist country to go to and we have ours too. So go.

The U.S., as one of the world’s first countries to have had a radical leftist government for decades, got a huge head start that Cuba, for all its gains, has not yet caught up with. Note that I am not posting from capitalist Haiti, or capitalist Venezuela, or capitalist Yemen, or capitalist Burkina Faso.

Also, can’t be that safe if it has an all-time world record incarceration rate.

And yet here you still are, in safe, wealthy, capitalist America. More than likely in a very majority white neighborhood, too.

And as long as there is capitalism in the U.S., there will be poor people, and their political advocates, the socialists.
