  2.  @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.

  3.  @lu881  Jamaica, India and Greece would like a word with you as they were crippled by socialism despite being democracies.

  4. Only if it practices capitalism like Chile, South Korea or Singapore did.

  5.  @jamfold2956  Singapore is 61% Chinese.

  6. No. Most of these economic problems are due to the Cuban government and its command economy.

  7. Vietnam adopted free-market reforms to its economy in the 80's and opened up.

  8.  @thanksmaybe4103  Tell Cuba to ditch the command economy.

  9. Especially as a citizen.
    2
  10. No. It's Cuba's command economy. . What kind of country won't let its own people farm let alone make an honest living?

  11. Spoken like the typical Western leftist.

  12. So has Ethiopia. And?

  13. And in the long run, the economy suffers.

  14. Only as long as you do as he says.

  15.  @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.

  16.  @jimjefftube  Maybe so, but their shelf lives are short.

  17. Only as long as the money keeps flowing to pay for their welfare.

  18. Being paid $3000 a day to kiss your benefactor's butt.

  19.  @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
  20. But in Venezuela's case, the government destroyed its diversified economy en route to being oil-dependent.

  21. Not really.

  22. North Korea just checked in to say HI!
    1
  23.  @Adam-mv4fw  Since when was North Korea a monarchy?
    1
  24. 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.

  25. <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
  26. And all it takes is economic decline. Tunisia, Romania, DRC, USSR (Russia), etc.
    1
  27. But on par with oil-rich Arab nations minus the majority of the population being cheap foreign labor.
    1
  28. 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
  29. With a large number of people unable to help themselves, because they have been pampered for too long.

  30. 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.

  31. <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.

  32. North Korea is hardly a monarchy.
    1
  33. And in exchange, the Sultan can have his way with you.
    1
  34. Because Brunei is more or less ran like one.
    1
  35. 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.

  36.  @bthegawd8113  It figures.

  37.  @mariano98ify  Exactly.

  38. It's what North Americans call the game.

  39. -< 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.

  40. Where was this in 2008?

  41. And is also HQ'd in Qatar.

  42.  @renatoj.rodriguez9600  But you're better off dealing with a theocrat/monarch than a communist.

  43. <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.

  44. Only because of France.
    1
  45.  @gasp2073  With France accounting for the vast majority of it.
    1
  46.  @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.

  47. Except the DRC is a former Belgian, not French, colony.
    1
  48. They love those French freebies.
    1
  49.  @valac7820  Only because of handouts and they don't have the means to survive as independent countries.

  50. Ever heard of the late 1950's and early 1960's?
