  1. But it was poorer than Ghana at the time it gained independence.
    12
  2. A lot of which are far-left.
    5
  3. So does Singapore.
    5
  4.  @aidanmagill6769  It is sandwiched between Russia and China. Two to the premier communist regimes in the 20th century.
    5
  5. Haiti had that with Papa and Baby Doc.
    5
  6. South Korea and Japan had US backing.
    5
  7. And further fatten the bank accounts of the regime?
    5
  8. The only real sanctions on Cuba is that by the Cuban government against its own people. Cuba's isolation currently from the rest of the world is by choice, hence the import restrictions and refusal to accept aid.
    5
  9.  @BrianS2464  If anything, it's the Cuban government preventing them from getting in.
    5
  10.  @Argenswiss  Many of these socialist clowns boasting about solidarity with the poor working class are from the very same bourgeoisie enjoying the privileges and luxuries granted by capitalism they so love to denounce and probably work in the public/government sector whose salaries come from the private sector (both bosses and workers alike) via taxes they sneer at if they even do an honest day's work at all in their lives.
    4
  11. And how a lot of Africa's poorest countries are ex-French colonies.
    4
  12.  @john_doe_not_found  And Singapore was little more than a swamp off the Malaysian peninsula at the time of independence.
    4
  13. <I think the most important factor for succes of state owned companies is the small size of Singapore and Dubai> Individual Central American countries are on par with Singapore in population. Their problems are political and cultural.
    4
  14.  @hmmkin6729  Only for mainlanders who just moved in with French taxpayer-inflated salaries.
    3
  15.  @ArawnOfAnnwn  <You don't get to drain people dry and then just walk away like it was nothing.> Like what women usually do to men yet men are the ones forced to pay.
    3
  16. Exactly.
    3
  17. <South Africa and Zimbabwe were the most prosperous countries in Africa under one group. > Until Western sanctions forced them to give up minority rule.
    3
  18.  @ryoukwjdbwopqmqpzl73819  Or you can ask the Ukrainians, Afghans, Czechs or the Polish how much they appreciated the Soviet Russian military.
    3
  19. That's because North Africa have more in common with the Middle East than Sub-saharan Africa.
    3
  20.  @medmankatowice  Or Guyana.
    3
  21. But 75% of Equatorial Guinea lives in poverty.
    3
  22.  @kanokadany113  Doesn't mean much in a non-existent economy. And hardly anyone is dying to live like the average Cuban citiizen.
    3
  23. <Cuba was very poor> Cuba was one of the wealthiest countries in the Americas pre-Revolution.
    3
  24. That is until the oil money dries up and he's no longer able to to care for you.
    2
  25.  fa q  <You mean Latin America is generally anti neocolonialist> That's pretty rich coming from descendants of Spaniard and Portuguese colonizers.
    2
  26. <There are by far more European countries qualifying to the cup vs any other continent. How fair is that?> It's not Europe's fault that the most of the rest of the world's teams are not good enough to compete.
    2
  27. No. They don't have the resources or human capital for that.
    2
  28.  @hmmkin6729  Only because France pays 80% of its bills.
    2
  29.  @Rob_F8F  Exactly.
    2
  30. Pretty much.
    2
  31. Exactly.
    2
  32. Argentina, Greece and most of Eastern Europe.
    2
  33. But it is by Caribbean standards.
    2
  34. The indigenous of the Americas, Australia and New Zealand were never in any position to kick the Europeans out as they didn't have the technology, organization or the manpower to do so like the Asians, Africans and even Haitians.
    2
  35.  @CanisLupusSteparium  Also Cuba under Batista.
    2
  36.  @juliusmarks8917  But Afro-Jamaicans make up a solid 76% of the population.
    2
  37.  @-whackd  But Alberta is nowhere near poor.
    2
  38. Or Equatorial Guinea. Oil-rich. Highest GDP per capita in the continent, but 75% of the population poor.
    2
  39.  @lisalph8922  Doesn't it also have the most homeless people in the country?
    2
  40. Sounds like Venezuela.
    2
  41. Which are by-products of its one-child policy.
    2
  42.  B Job  No. That's socialism for you as it no longer has other people's money to prop it up. It requires an unlimited supply of cash and resources it just plain doesn't have and is unable to produce even at the best of times.
    2
  43. Exactly.
    2
  44. Indeed.
    2
  45.  @kristoffer3000  Actually capitalism saved China. The last time it was fully communist, it was on the verge of yet another famine and collapse.
    2
  46. Pretty much. Just like Canada.
    2
  47.  @benjauron5873  Angola? Cold war geopolitics.
    2
  48.  @IK_MK  Liberia. It was spared the Berlin Conference.
    2
  49.  @harizhashim8520  Not really as the Coloureds who Indians are part of only make up 8% of SA's population.
    2
  50. It's an Indian-majority country.
    2
  51.  @Exli3r  Exactly.
    2
  52.  @simpslayer7839  And the current ruling ANC was once a Soviet-backed terrorist group not to mention was founded by Soviet-bloc communists. If anything, they're just reverting back to its roots.
    2
  53.  @lu881  Jamaica, India and Greece would like a word with you as they were crippled by socialism despite being democracies.
    2
  54. Only if it practices capitalism like Chile, South Korea or Singapore did.
    2
  55.  @jamfold2956  Singapore is 61% Chinese.
    2
  56. No. Most of these economic problems are due to the Cuban government and its command economy.
    2
  57. Vietnam adopted free-market reforms to its economy in the 80's and opened up.
    2
  58.  @thanksmaybe4103  Tell Cuba to ditch the command economy.
    2
  59. Especially as a citizen.
    2
  60. No. It's Cuba's command economy. . What kind of country won't let its own people farm let alone make an honest living?
    2
  61. Spoken like the typical Western leftist.
    2
  62. So has Ethiopia. And?
    2
  63. And in the long run, the economy suffers.
    2
  64. Only as long as you do as he says.
    1
  65.  @limouzine1529  <Paying someone 3000 USD or 30.000 USD for modelling( dressing up and walking on a scene) is actually more immoral, its an insult to all of the other women( doctors, nurses, teachers, etc) that are doing important practical work for the societies they are living in and get much less in salary.> Disagreed. But don't worry! Models don't last as long as doctors, teachers, nurses, etc. as they're usually out of the industry by 35 deemed no longer attractive hence the high turnover rate. As far as the salaries of teachers, nurses, doctors, etc. is concerned, take that up with their employers that would be the government.
    1
  66.  @jimjefftube  Maybe so, but their shelf lives are short.
    1
  67. Only as long as the money keeps flowing to pay for their welfare.
    1
  68. Being paid $3000 a day to kiss your benefactor's butt.
    1
  69.  @dominic1241  But what is free stuff when it comes at the expense of something valuable and cannot be easily gotten back once lost as the people of Venezuela are finding out the hard way?
    1
  70. But in Venezuela's case, the government destroyed its diversified economy en route to being oil-dependent.
    1
  71. Not really.
    1
  72. North Korea just checked in to say HI!
    1
  73.  @Adam-mv4fw  Since when was North Korea a monarchy?
    1
  74. Easy to say that when they were never in any position to colonize or loot if they wanted to. Plus they're dependent on the bigger countries for protection including those very same Western countries known for colonizing and looting.
    1
  75. <No tax, free education, free medical. Extremely low crime rate.> In exchange, you have to forfeit your freedom and become the Sultan's b----.
    1
  76. And all it takes is economic decline. Tunisia, Romania, DRC, USSR (Russia), etc.
    1
  77. But on par with oil-rich Arab nations minus the majority of the population being cheap foreign labor.
    1
  78. That is until that single person either dies or is no longer able to provide for the people when the economy declines. Personality cults are not a sustainable way of running a country.
    1
  79. With a large number of people unable to help themselves, because they have been pampered for too long.
    1
  80. In exchange for allegiance to the Sultan. <basically nothing to shop and rich people are flocking overseas for shopping.> That's the downside to living in a locale with no local economy.
    1
  81. <I do find it a bit funny that currently Jeff Bezos is almost x10 richer than the sultan and has twice as many subjects (employees) but despite this many Amazon employees are financially worse off than many Brunei citizens. Plus the average Amazon employee has almost no benefits while Brunei citizens have access to several perks (healthcare, education, housing, ect). > Maybe so, but no one was forced to apply for a job let alone work for Bezos and in turn accept the terms and conditions of working there. Many Amazon employees are part-timers. Brunei citizens on the other hand are at the mercy of the Sultan as they're not free to leave. And that access to several perks come at a cost. They're not allowed to criticize him or his policies or they lose that access.
    1
  82. North Korea is hardly a monarchy.
    1
  83. And in exchange, the Sultan can have his way with you.
    1
  84. Because Brunei is more or less ran like one.
    1
  85. After the democratically elected socialist leader bankrupt the country with his/her policies on his/her own and then conveniently blames the US for it.
    1
  86.  @bthegawd8113  It figures.
    1
  87.  @mariano98ify  Exactly.
    1
  88. It's what North Americans call the game.
    1
  89. -< Doctors and nurses saving people and helping them are paid less in a year than say - Chrstiano Ronaldo is in a week!> Ronaldo works in an industry lucrative enough to pay him such a salary. Most doctors and nurses work for the government.
    1
  90. Where was this in 2008?
    1
  91. And is also HQ'd in Qatar.
    1
  92.  @renatoj.rodriguez9600  But you're better off dealing with a theocrat/monarch than a communist.
    1
  93. <The Olympic Committee fought tooth and nail to continue with the 2020 summer Olympics in South Korea despite the Korean outbreak of Covid.> South Korea? I thought it was Japan.
    1
  94. Only because of France.
    1
  95.  @gasp2073  With France accounting for the vast majority of it.
    1
  96.  @manovrsb  <while the English leaves you out to dry.> Because independence means independence. You're on your own. <These territories won't survive independence because the services and assistance France gives is hard to afford.> Plus, those territories don't have the resources or industry to support the welfare state they so desire that France provides.
    1
  97. Except the DRC is a former Belgian, not French, colony.
    1
  98. They love those French freebies.
    1
  99.  @valac7820  Only because of handouts and they don't have the means to survive as independent countries.
    1
  100. Ever heard of the late 1950's and early 1960's?
    1
  101.  @adrien5834  I thought it was the Cayman Islands.
    1
  102. What about Vietnam?
    1
  103.  @SP95  But China recently scrapped its one-child policy as it screwed up its future demographics and might end up like Japan with too many old people to take care of.
    1
  104. Like they did with Louisiana.
    1
  105. Propped up by France.
    1
  106. The British relinquished all their rights to Hong Kong in 1997.
    1
  107.  @Someone-mf1tz  <We got independance> From Britain, not France.
    1
  108. <Gdp per capita in Reunion is 25000 euros, poor by french standards yes but about ten times more than africa's gdp...> Thanks to French subsidies. <but there is no way in hell they will choose to... > Because they don't have the means to.
    1
  109. <when women are just as strong intelligent capable etc as men !> LOL.
    1
  110.  @joebidet2050  Not in Afghanistan or most Arab/Muslim-majority countries.
    1
  111. <Who took it back to medieval times after Soviets driven out.> And then the USSR collapsed.
    1
  112.  @somerandomperson6511  <as long as a government has its interest in the wellbeing of the country> But most governments only care about power and self-enrichment. Caring about the people/country is for PR reasons.
    1
  113. Not really. Democratic rule allows the ignorant and foolish to have a voice. And God forbid if they make up the majority like they do in South Africa.
    1
  114.  @riddob6716  Yet the West still does business with Saudi Arabia
    1
  115. And who told them to borrow money from the IMF?
    1
  116. Both.
    1
  117. Tax the rich and end up like Venezuela?
    1
  118. And the political will is lacking, because there are too many vested interests and livelihoods at stake.
    1
  119.  @nyft3352  Cuba is surviving off of US remittances and food aid.
    1
  120. But leftists have bankrupted a lot of countries, though. Argentina being one of them.
    1
  121. And get them into trouble with people dependent on them for their livelihoods (public-sector workers, pensioners, welfare-recipients, etc.).
    1
  122. They claim to be Christians, yet their Lord and Savior is the Argentine welfare state.
    1
  123.  @jimsmith4658  There's a reason why China scrapped the one-child policy in 2017.
    1
  124. LMAO. True.
    1
  125. Like Cristina Fernandez-Kirchner?
    1
  126. The IMF is nothing compared to the leaders who bankrupted their countries causing them to run to the IMF in the first place.
    1
  127. And Argentina was once a refuge for Nazis.
    1
  128. The government is a reflection of the people who elected them.
    1
  129. And also populist politics.
    1
  130.  @oldskoolmusicnostalgia  And NZ has the most homeless people per capita among developed countries.
    1
  131.  @hendriktonisson2915  Namely white Europeans from neighboring countries.
    1
  132. Says a European descendant.
    1
  133.  @Chile-xo6do  Not according to even Bolivar.
    1
  134. Yeah. And?
    1
  135. And he's every bit as leftist as the current leadership of Chile and Argentina.
    1
  136. LOL. <I believe we are all human beings and we should be striving for greater unification.>
    1
  137. The left eat their own.
    1
  138. <only South Africa and Rhodesia failed in their original aims.> The British and Dutch were outnumbered from the start.
    1
  139.  @davidford3115  Given Guyana's history, don't hold your breath.
    1
  140. No. Guyana's nationalization and subsequent stifling of the economy did a much better job of causing poverty.
    1
  141. LOL
    1
  142.  @amazonwarrior7126  Easy to do that when you're starting from a low point and have nowhere to go but up.
    1
  143. That would be the Bahamas.
    1
  144. Ask Venezuela.
    1
  145. Canada didn't get the memo.
    1
  146. Russia is every bit an imperialist.
    1
  147. Namely between the Afro and Indo Guyanese as since they're the largest groups.
    1
  148. They didn't leave the Commonwealth. Britain let them go in their decolonization efforts.
    1
  149. LOL. <They'll be treated like Venezuela and Cuba if they try to make their resources benefit their population> While setting themselves up for economic ruin in the process.
    1
  150.  @tauceti8060  Nope. The party that has ruled Angola since independence got re-elected. The same party Isabel Dos Santos's late father co-founded and was the head of for 38 years.
    1
  151. Guyana is not a descendant of slaves-majority country.
    1
  152. Venezuela destroyed itself.
    1
  153. <Guyana's only hope is to seek incorporation into a Western country such as Canada, USA, EU bloc, etc.> LOL
    1
  154. Has China bought them out yet?
    1
  155. Mauritius barely has any Africans. 70% of the population are of Indian descent.
    1
  156. Except right now, that is sponsored by China.
    1
  157.  @ignaciogonzalez8716  But Belize getting immigrants from LATAM countries has nothing to do with prosperity but Guatemala wanting to claim land they think was stole from them.
    1
  158. Thanks to the sheep who live in the GTA,
    1
  159. Pretty much.
    1
  160. Don't forget that Argentina was a refuge for Nazi soldiers post-WW2.
    1
  161. No. Socialist politicians destroyed Argentina.
    1
  162. When it comes to bankrupting countries.
    1
  163.  @mojewjewjew4420  Panama is one of the better off countries in the Americas.
    1
  164. Meh. Communism earned its slander.
    1
  165. And Covid-19.
    1
  166. Capitalism is about economics, not politics. It's always been possible to be capitalist and totalitarian at the same time. See Chile, Singapore and South Korea under Park Chung-hee.
    1
  167. But Pol Pot killed more people per capita.
    1
  168. Agreed.
    1
  169.  @MegaBanne  A King Leopold-owned company, that is.
    1
  170. Or the Soviet Union and Yugoslavia.
    1
  171. <Where is the Utopias and paradises scifi movies promised us?> Utopia and paradise don't exist. And you need to turn off the TV.
    1
  172.  @pepega7015  And the Soviet Union and Yugoslavia didn't get along much.
    1
  173.  @dnguyen787  China adopted communism well before the Cold War.
    1
  174. Not even fellow communist Vietnam trust China.
    1
  175. Actually, no. And most of China's millionaires and billionaires are relatives and affiliates of the CCP.
    1
  176. Actually, no it isn't. It's just 2nd to the US.
    1
  177. Really? How come Brazil isn't a superpower? Or Nigeria?
    1
  178.  @80smike78  You mean Iran, because the rest of the Middle East is cool with the US.
    1
  179. Like Bill Clinton.
    1
  180. The same China jinning up a war with Taiwan and India?
    1
  181. Agreed.
    1
  182. Unless you live in Vancouver where the Chinese all but completely bought it out.
    1
  183. Including Emperor Xi's own daughter.
    1
  184. LOL. Social peace? Easy to do that in a dictatorship where having freedom of conscience = jail or death.
    1
  185. Just ask China. It's the reason they're even a major player and not an oversized Cambodia.
    1
  186. What about Maduro?
    1
  187. And so was Atheism. Remember every other communist regime in the 20th century?
    1
  188. Very much.
    1
  189. Agreed.
    1
  190. Like Greece.
    1
  191. But companies don't want to pay higher overhead and consumers don't want to pay higher retail prices.
    1
  192. China doesn't have a pension system. And kids are legally required to take care of their elderly parents.
    1
  193.  B Job  While perpetual economic depressions are a requirement for socialism to function.
    1
  194.  B Job  LOL
    1
  195. Yes.
    1
  196.  @dairebulson7122  LOL. No Certainly not with the manner Ceausescu payed off the debt. On the backs of the citizens.
    1
  197. thanks to Ceausescu shutting off the gas and letting the people freeze to death to help pay off the loan he borrowed to build his presidential palace.
    1
  198.  @Fr4ncM  Not to mention shortages and genocide.
    1
  199.  @santiagogallego8695  LOL. What a good joke!
    1
  200.  @doctoroclock7732  No other choice but to vote for a socialist that will be the new super wealthy and bankrupt the country in the process. <elect a President who wants to actually help the poor> By robbing the middle class?
    1
  201.  @Infamous41  Especially leftist officials.
    1
  202.  @delonthomas5049  Maybe when they stop threatening to nuke South Korea and Japan off the map.
    1
  203. Whatever, tankie!
    1
  204. Exactly. After all, socialism does not value nor respect individual freedom or agency.
    1
  205. Europe is barely a generation removed from communism and fascism being the law of the land.
    1
  206. <But as long as nationalist sentiments are strong and we stay fragmented we will never be truly strong > You were never that strong to begin with.
    1
  207. Except most of the businesses there are imported. Silicon Valley's businesses are homegrown.
    1
  208. Pretty much.
    1
  209. There's hardly anything conservative about Europe.
    1
  210. Like they had with Hitler and Bonaparte?
    1
  211. Economically beneficial to Europe as that's why they're able to afford their welfare state.
    1
  212.  @georgekaradov1274  Shows how irrelevant the rest of the world is to the West.
    1
  213. Fascism is an offspring of communism.
    1
  214. Exactly.
    1
  215.  @Lando-kx6so  While the developed world is nothing without US protection.
    1
  216.  @lauravergot9995  Doesn't Denmark have the highest household debt in the world?
    1
  217. Let's not forget good old-fashioned racism.
    1
  218. Because Europe lives off of the US's military complex. <they have real social lives and real public transportation> But depend on their enemies for something as basic as natural gas while having the nerve to sanction them.
    1
  219. Yet without question support state monopolies.
    1
  220. @Moon Shine It's funny how tax-the-rich policies end up benefiting the rich. In Europe's case, old-money elites.
    1
  221. Vietnam is already communist. .
    1
  222. LOL @ China being selfless.
    1
  223. In all fairness, that was payback for the French gang-raping Haitian women.
    1
  224.  @kresimirmandic3807  LOL.
    1
  225. The white people had it coming. Serves them right for their cruel treatment of the Haitian slaves.
    1
  226. The only ex-French colony that didn't become a failed state was Vietnam only after some free-market reforms and ditching French for English as the official business language to do business with the same country they beat in the Vietnam War.
    1
  227.  @Wolf-yr1qy  You mean the 1960's.
    1
  228.  @HELLO7657  Which was in retaliation against the French mistreatment of the Haitian locals.
    1
  229.  @FlamingBasketballClub  Who had an upper class upbringing but lived most of of his adult life as a lumpen-proletariat, a deadbeat grifter as he had nothing in common with the working class.
    1
  230.  @puraLusa  And South Africa's current ruling party was founded by Soviet Russia.
    1
  231. As part of its debt repayment to France.
    1
  232. Haiti is the poorest country in the Western hemisphere. And your US poverty figures are way off. Only 11% of Americans live below the poverty line.
    1
  233. What's Moldova's excuse? It's poor but doesn't have anywhere near the amount of people Nigeria has. Or Albania's. Or The Gambia's.
    1
  234. Nigeria has nothing to learn from China as China is largely homogeneous with the Han making up 91% of the population including the ruling CCP.
    1
  235.  @theredhall-thisisfootball  Oil-rich monarchies dependent on foreign migrant labor and US military protection.

  239. Exactly.

  240.  @lu881  No. Sweden abandoned socialism after it bankrupted them in the 1970's. Sweden is a capitalist welfare state.

  244. <Nationalizing agriculture land is not socialism> Actually, yes it is. Take from the intelligent and productive farmers and give to political stooges and subsistence farmers who can't produce at a high level resulting in food shortages and mass starvation. Case(s) in point: Zimbabwe and Tanzania under Nyerere. <Socialism is where big corporates are taxed so that small farmers are given the right prices that takes into account not just the cost of cultivation but also cost of their labour and cost of land.> LOL. Socialism cares nothing about small farmers as it forces them to sell their produce at rock-bottom prices through price-control.

  257. Laos is a Chinese client state just like North Korea.

  258. They wouldn't have to suffer if the Cuban government actually allowed its citizens to make a living.

  259.  @huckleberryfinn6578  Thanks to its own government killing off the successful and productive destroying its ability to support itself.
    1
  260.  @darrenbutler9819  Not really. Medical supplies are blocked by the Cuban government as they refuse to accept any aid from the US and most other countries in general. It figures. They're trying to prove how self-reliant they are despite 60+ years of killing off the successful and productive.

  261. <The food shortages are caused by 60 years of crippling U.S sanctions on Cuba, that is what the people are protesting…..> LOL. How so? The food shortages are due to Castro killing off all the farmers leaving the land to go infertile destroying its own ability to feed itself in the long run. Plus, the average Cuba is not legally allowed to farm.

  269. Mostly politics.

  270. LOL. No. The colonization of Africa was a relatively recent thing. What do you mean 400 years?

  271. Guyana has the world's highest suicide rate. Venezuela has the world's highest crime rate.

  272. Pretty much.

  275.  @danstrayer111  The average Soviet wasn't allowed to vote, though, as the USSR never had free elections.

  276.  @DSTKO-w7z  <Not everyone who creates value is compensated fairly. For example teachers in most countries are underpaid yet they are trusted with the safety and education of children. Nurses also underpaid, this pandemic only goes to highlight how hard it is they do work.> But they get better than average pensions as their employer is the government. And their jobs are for the most part recession-proof.
