  1.  @juniorleslie4804  Exactly.
    9
  2. Don't forget Venezuela and the US.
    6
  3. Also NZ has the most homelessness per capita among developed countries.
    4
  4. Minimal at best. Most of the problem is from the Cuban government's economic repression.
    2
  5. Greedy governments and their restrictions on production and supply.
    2
  6. Just ask Black people.
    2
  7. Plus, Marx had a bourgeoisie upbringing.
    2
  8. LOL
    2
  9.  @risinbison1106  Exactly.
    2
  10. Notice how the USSR and China began prospering when they toned down the communism?
    2
  11. Deng's free-market reforms and the West's outsurcing of manufacturing jobs.
    2
  12. No. Blame the government that let them in.
    2
  13. Vietnam toned it down and adopted some capitalist reforms. Cuba is still a near-100% command economy.
    2
  14. No it didn't. Cuba is still a command economy.
    1
  15. That's what the current ruling Liberal Party led by Justin Trudeau is doing to Canada.
    1
  16. It's starting to resemble the late 80's when the USSR had to cut off aid and let its vassal states go.
    1
  17.  @tilapiadave3234  Those countries don't have mass immigration.
    1
  18. LOL. It would have stagnated and fell to ruin. Tanzania didn't suffer from any Western meddling yet its socialist experiment failed all the same.
    1
  19. Would that be Karma for white Australians displacing them in the past?
    1
  20. Like Romania under Ceausescu. Or even Venezuela under Maduro.
    1
  21.  @JJRM8  No. Cuban government tyranny and mismanagement are what's keeping Cubans in poverty.
    1
  22. So, you prefer the NHS sold off to the Chinese Communist Party?
    1
  23. This is the 1% vs. 99% leftists complain about.
    1
  24. <Why there is no homeless people in China? > Because they got banished to the outskirts so the CCP can make themselves look good to naive outsiders.
    1
  25. No. There is little food, because the Cuban government killed off domestic food production in favor of imports. Yet they swear they're self-reliant. LOL
    1
  26. Look no further than any Black-majority housing project in the city to see what Democrats have in store for America.
    1
  27. But ultimately refers to bureaucrats and public-sector employees.
    1
  28. Cuba's economic issues are self-inflicted.
    1
  29. Agreed.
    1
  30. As supported by the Left.
    1
  31.  @kennylee8936  Brainwashed according to those who don't make enough to buy a toolshed let alone their own home and their world view barely extends past city limits.
    1
  32. But it still beats socialism any day of the week even by Marx's own admission.
    1
  33. It was when Batista was in charge.
    1
  34. Since when did the Labours care about the British people?
    1
  35.  @wonderwalls3565  <this is pure evils of capitalism.> Better than the pure evils of socialism where you wouldn't be allowed to live in the city coming from a rural area, treated like an illegal immigrant in your own country like in China and Cuba.
    1
  36. With communism, Cuba is a run-down (sex) tourist resort for Canadians and Europeans.
    1
  37.  @sootuckchoong7077  Not on a per capita basis.
    1
  38. <They need to adopt ancient Afrikan functional socialism,> Like the one that bankrupted Tanzania under Nyerere?
    1
  39. Pol Pot killed 20% of Cambodia's population because of communism.
    1
  40. <How about discussing the role of the rentier class of landlords and how they've inflated rental prices?> They didn't exactly inflate anything as government restrictions on supply and building to keep land values high and property tax revenue rolling in did a much better job of that.
    1
  41. No. 60 years of communism in its full glory coupled with the loss of Russian/Soviet and Venezuelan aid is what brought us Cuba today.
    1
  42.  @Jakejackson1980  No.
    1
  43. Mankind never was equal. Why else would Marx advocate stripping people if their freedom and personal agency to bring about a "new man?"
    1
  44. Like the Black Panthers?
    1
  45. Yes it is. <They are dictators.> Like every other socialist/communist. <When countries aren't democratic, governments stop investment in their people via social programs.> You mean vote-buying power-consolidating programs.
    1
  46. Just like they couldn't afford to feed Eastern Europe, Afghanistan, North Korea and Mongolia.
    1
  47. It was under Batista.
    1
  48. Or Lenin's policies in the USSR.
    1
  49. Pretty much.
    1
  50. How is rent control and bureaucracy capitalism?
    1
  51. Like many socialist/communist supporters, Bernie barely worked a day in his life and is a property-owning millionaire.
    1
  52. LOL. That's if you don't mind being the government's property.
    1
  53. That would be $4791.67 per month.
    1
  54. Communism never was a better system than capitalism at any point in time. Embargoes are a lame excuse for ineptitude and short-sightedness.
    1
  55. Apparently, Canadian tourists stopped visiting Cuba.
    1
  56. Cigars.
    1
  57. Unless you're Singapore.
    1
  58. LOL. Cuba doesn't have anything worth trading, because the Cuban government hardly lets its own citizens produce and earn an honest living.
    1
  59. Rent control = less housing available.
    1
  60. You mean Democrats, because the GOP are no the ones running the US into the ground.
    1
  61. But they're not the problem. The real problem is the government with its taxes, regulations and bureaucracy that makes housing costly to build and maintain.
    1
  62. All subsidized by those ineligible for government housing.
    1
  63. But Australia has more homelessness per capita than the US.
    1
  64. LOL.
    1
  65. The same democratic socialism that condemned Jamaica and Greece to stagnation and economic crisis.
    1
  66. Exactly. Living in the most popular city is a privilege, not a human right.
    1
  67. The only unfair sanctions on Cuba comes from the Cuban government.
    1
  68. LOL. Good one.
    1
  69. Well, for good reason. Socialism/communism = give all money and power to a few rich people namely government bureaucrats and terrorist cult leaders OOPS! I mean revolutionaries and freedom fighters.
    1
  70. Communism/socialism = power to the state (c) Margaret Thatcher.
    1
  71. LOL.
    1
  72. Abe was a right-leaning, though.
    1
  73. Communism is the problem. Cuba and North Korea are long overdue for reforms, but the leaderships much rather let the countries continue suffering than end up like the USSR and the Eastern Bloc circa 1991 if it means they stay in power. <Just look at Vietnam, China, and Russia, they're doing just fine and evolved after so many years of communism> Only after they toned it down and liberalized their economies.
    1
  74. Yet the US's problem is nowhere nearly as bad as Australia's or Canada's as Canada now has the highest household debt among all developed countries.
    1
  75. Lazy, gullible, delusional and entitled.
    1
  76. The embargo is nothing compared to the 70 years of economic repression by the Cuban government.
    1
  77. <Cuba did not fail because of communism.> Yes it did. And the sanctions were nothing compared to the loss of Soviet aid that did far more damage to whatever economy Cuba had.
    1
  78. The Cuban government.
    1
  79. State-run barbershops.
    1
  80. Exactly.
    1
  81.  @Derek032789  And both of the Castros were White.
    1
  82. By any means necessary.
    1
  83. The problem with socialism and communism is that whatever successes they do achieve are often short-lived.
    1
  84. Cuba embraced Soviet imperialism.
    1
  85. He who feeds you owns you. (c) Thomas Sankara.
    1
  86.  @tkatrich3  <and weren't allowed to work most of their adult life> They were allowed to work. Presumably, they did work prior to getting married and quitting their job so they could be SAHM's.
    1
  87. Exactly.
    1
  88. The embargo is nothing compared to the loss of Canadian tourism, Venezuelan oil, US remittances and food aid and Russian/Soviet aid.
    1
  89. High taxes and punitive regulations that restrict supply and production is not capitalism.
    1
  90. No. Your White Democrat wannabe-Marxism is much further along in taking you there.
    1
  91. The 1% vs. 99% the left loves to accuse capitalism of.
    1
  92. <Aussies only think of housing as investing.> Because they care about their futures enough to do so unlike many renters.
    1
  93.  @DemocracyAboveAll  No more sicker than Obama scrapping the wet-foot-dry-foot policy to make sure Cubans fleeing could no longer do that.
    1
  94. It worked for the UK with Margaret Thatcher.
    1
  95. And the MPLA in Angola.
    1
  96.  @johnnykeys1978  Exposed for what? Telling the truth that living in Sydney is a privilege, not a right?
    1
  97. Communism in practice = short-term prosperity, long-term stagnation and regression.
    1
  98. That came to be because of capitalist reforms Deng adopted when he took over after Mao died.
    1
  99. Exactly.
    1
  100. Socialism is destroying Canada.
    1
  101. The embargo is the least of Cuba's problems. The main problem lies with the Cuban government and its model that has done nothing except set the country back.
    1
  102. From the Cuban government and its command economy.
    1
  103.  @jimmyinjapan6797  <What a disgusting person you are for calling it evil to believe that someone decent and hardworking like a teacher or nurse deserves to live near the place they work.> LOL. Deserve what? Living near where you work is a privilege, not a human right. The poster is right. Your envy and entitlement are showing.
    1
  104. <where a bunch of dudes claimed most of the riches> Namely ex-members, descendants and beneficiaries of the old communist guard.
    1
  105. Japan and Finland don't have mass immigration for one. Who knew that social democracy only works with closed borders?
    1
  106.  @subindad  And due to that, they don't fear the people.
    1
  107. LOL. It's interesting to see socialism and successful put in the same sentence.
    1
  108. <She is an anti-Castro zealot, like her father.> And for good reason. Castro set Cuba back decades with his economic repression. <She’s not even pretending to be an independent observer.> Any more than one who simps for the Cuban government.
    1
  109. Does she not know that Cuba was the 2nd to last country in the Americas to abolish slavery?
    1
  110. Only in Democrat-run cities and states.
    1
  111. There's hardly anything free-market about Haiti.
    1
  112. Mostly in places run by Democrats and other Trump-haters.
