I used to talk to people who had to live under that dreamy Socialist state called Communism. Look at Cuba, where people were trying to swim to Florida to escape the country. They weren't doing it as a try out for the Olympics.

@RedScareClair "In a low stress environment we're way more likely to be naturally communistic than naturally selfish" Look at what all that lowered stress did for the Kulaks in the Soviet Union... it got them killed. Cuba would have been far better off without Communism. The country did have a growing economy before Castro. Cuba and the United States and their relationship developed as it did because of Castro's oversized ego. The U.S. was talking to Cuba but Castro doubled dealed the U.S.

@shacktime Impossible for 300 million people to self rule. You must set up a government. Then the government forgets it's purpose and looks at every citizen as a nail that needs to be hammered down. Socialism in order to work must have submission of the people. You can't have free market types running around making money or preaching individuality as that would cause major friction. So, a Socialist government in the United States will soon realize there are 300 million+ nails that need hammering. There are no functional Socialist societies under any nam be it Socialist, Communist or Fascist. It's because Socialism doesn't work.

@davidbrayshaw3529 Socialism is a pipe dream, as was Communism and Fascism. But that never stops the Lefties from trying.

@rednemesis88 "but we shouldn't judge a government by how rich it is" The Castro's always looked well fed. You ever notice that? In Leftie world the leaders always look well fed. The medical care... Castros would fly in the best doctors, but never heard of it being done for Mr and Mrs On ration coupons. Cuba just had to settle accounts with the U.S.

@rednemesis88 Fidel Castro never worried about dead children, neither should you. Hell, Castro added to the roles of the dead. It is what Communist dictators do.

@argusfleibeit1165 "Nobody but rich people worry about national debt" 👀 I rarely use emojis but sometimes you just have to.

@rednemesis88 Thank the Castros. By the way, the United States has exemptions for products like medicines. If they can't get a medicine they need, it could be due to the Cuban government.

Ask the Kulaks if this stuff was wacky.

Karl Marx was a couch potato. Human rights abuses in the Soviet Union? More like a genocide. Josef Stalin never did anything half way.

@nonamegiven The Nazis got the ones Stalin missed. I love the way you people try to dance around the fact Socialism is a death cult.

@nonamegiven Mainly due to the introduction of plumbing.

@shinyagami8843 You got to go with the crook you know. As for the American Leftist/Progressives as long as the crook says the right things they are wonderful even if they committed mass murder and starved people to death. The U.S. many times was left with the do we go with pile of garbage candidate A or do we go with pile of garbage candidate B?

@ayantuinthenow "Imagine what US politicians and pundits would say if they saw little non-white 6 and 7 year old children pledging allegiance to a flag in another country". They do it and they pledge to kill you.

@shacktime This is a side argument but as an aside I never felt wide open trade with China was going to end well. And it didn't.

@argusfleibeit1165 Can't say, many of those countries are loaded with debt.

@winninglifeyo "Leftist want a classless non heirachy society." They sure do and as they have shown in the past, they're willing to kill millions to do it.

@cake_9510 Think of Gates and Zuckerberg as people who are going to do the right thing for you... whether you like it or not. Just like Communists do. Actually Communism has become a generalized term for central control, not just the economic abortion Karl Marx prescribed.

It is hard to believe in this day and age people do not believe men who identify as females can have babies.

Starting with American Lefties?

The Communists were imperialists too. Keep that in mind.

Read real history about the Communists then offer an opinion.

@tanyas6643 "when I visited family friends in East Germany, Poland, Czechoslovakia, and Russia. " And they're all trying to hang on to Communism, right? Socialist Democracy still needs capitalism :) Israel started as a commune. How did that work out?

Someone should tell this woman KGB records showed the Rosenbergs were in league with the Soviet Union. Read that as the Rosenbergers worked for Josef Stalin, a man who was worse than Adolf Hitler. Yea, Stalin was that bad.
