  2.  @kimobrien.  In other words, it has to be imposed everywhere even in places the people don't want it. And yet socialists have the nerve to call capitalism imperialist.

  7. <What Socialism?? Cuba is less socialist then the US for crying! A few elites at the top reaping 99.9999% of the economy, to then redistribute 0.01% of it to the people... before pocketing 50% of it for personal investments (such as building touristic resorts), and spending the rest on bulking up the army and police they use to keep everyone in check??? That is NOT even remotely close to being socialism.> Socialism in practice. The government and well-connected = 1%. Everyone else = 99%.

  14.  @Baggaification  It was. 5th wealthiest country in the Americas at the time. Now why don't YOU stop lying?

  15. Socialism is the problem. They sure love to depend on foreign aid and US trade for a country that is self-reliant.

  17.  @yash30095  Nope. That's socialism in a nutshell.

  18. Fernandez doesn't love his country. He just loves the regime he works for that has done plenty to destroy the country.

  19.  @yash30095  Which interestingly turned out to be a good thing as Chile is now one of the wealthiest countries in the Americas.
