  3.  fynes leigh  Its from each according to his ability to each according to his needs. Now do you want to live in a society where you can contribute or do you want to live in one where you can't contribute because of the way the economy is organized? Do you want to be able to meet your needs or do you want to live in a society that can't meet your needs.

  5.  @nghtwtchmn129  Sure the US has been sanctioning and blockading them. Since the refuse to bow down to Washington who keep demanding that they make gestures. I've got a gesture for the two parties except it would be classified as obscene. Cuba's leaders are more polite and civil than me.

  8.  @aakkoin  Hitler was never elected to any post including dog catcher. He was backed by German Big Business like I. G. Farben and Krupp steel. He organized big business for war to retake Germany's position before the Treaty of Versailles. He had an organized goon squad in uniform which he used for strikebreaking and to break up political and union meetings. He was handed power as Chancellor of Germany by President General Hindenburg.

  10.  @ThatsRight1776  We don't want your capitalist empires state power. Everything we do is aimed at increasing the self confidence of the working people to destroy that state power in the most centralized capitalist most powerful police and military state power in history. Libertarians are nothing more than children running lemonade stands who debate their phony nonaggression principle where everyone pokes each other in the belly instead of threatening nuclear war.

  11.  @levinoseberg4284  The reason you have to keep taking about communism failing is because capitalism is failing. The first try at a modern republic was not in the US but England back in 1649. King Charles head was cut off. A commonwealth was proclaimed. A few years later the monarchy was restored and it along with the peerage still retains power today. Over one hundreds year until the Revolution of 1776 and almost another hundred 1865 until the second revolution ended slavery.

  12. Basic Industry (Oil, Coal, Gas, Steel, Aluminium, Copper, Electrical Generation, Rail and Truck transportation) in the US is in private hands. This along with Banking and Stock Markets makes the US a capitalist country. The workers social wages and public services does not make the US a socialist country but instead a Capitalist welfare state.

  13. The biggest victory communist have ever made over the extreme right is to convince everyone they are conspiracy nut jobs.

  14. How about the license plate that says "THE EMPIRE STATE" Where was the concern when WW1 was grinding up soldiers all so the Imperialist Nations could steal each other colonies? POL POT right the guy who the US/UK in the human rights Carter Regime kept him in his UN Seat and supported him demanding the Socialist Vietnam withdraw and not overthrow him.

  15. Any real discussion of the cold war will beg the question of why all the military aggression and threats of Nuclear war in Korea and Vietnam. Why carpet bomb Korea and Vietnam for democracy and not Mississippi and Alabama.

  16.  @jeffsmith6596  You what all these lies directed at Cuba are untrue. Second all the threats about using nuclear weapons only gave the real associates of Stalin more support. After all All they had to do is show US TV reports on plans to nuke the reds. Naturally if hear that US General MacArthur is considering nuking Chinese cities or Kennedy and Goldwater are debating about using nukes in Vietnam what would you think? That MLK is going to march on Moscow?
    1
  17.  @jeffsmith6596  (Respect free Speech) Every lie possible is told about Cuba. The US with its threats of nuclear war only prolonged Stalin's associates power. All they had to do was show US Firm and Video reports of General MacArthur considering nuclear strikes on Chinese cities and the Kennedy and Goldwater debate over using nuclear weapons in Vietnam. Kennedy so butt hurt about General Batista's loss in Cuba brought the world to the very brink of nuclear war. They say his advisers recommended he go ahead with nuclear war.

  19. @johnny5finger They made a "hard left turn" after the worst depression since the 1929 stock market crisis. You remember when rich people took the job, the car, the house along with the wife and kids. Gee the workers are unhappy! I wonder why?

  20.  @Libertad-xi1ey  Your idea of the left is the political reformer and SJW seeking to save capitalism with a few reforms and tweaks of the system which will leave them in control and profiting off the rule of the meritocratic and entrepreneur. Communism isn't going away despite the frame job where you make us responsible for our own murder by Joe Stalin.

  21.  @Libertad-xi1ey  (Respect Free Speech) "it is ironic that plenty of rich socialists who promote their leftist ideas have made their fortune under capitalism." Those are your next door neighbors. Not mine.

  22.  @Libertad-xi1ey  (Respect Free Speech) Your "leftists" are Hilary Clinton and Bernie Sanders. We have no need for SJW's or those like Sanders who voted for the 2015 War appropriations. The Pope has visited Cuba while you can't so much as take a bible into US ally Saudi Arabia. All these lies about Cuba and excuses for the Prince. The reason of course is Cuba shows what is possible after a socialist revolution while Saudi Arabia shows that there is no connection between capitalism and democratic rights. Go ahead and visit Saudi Arabia. Bring a suitcase of bibles and plenty of cash to bribe your way past the Saudi customs police. Otherwise you may just lose your head upon entry into the oil rich capitalist paradise.

  26.  @ozu2647  Taxes for the ruling class are voluntary. Where ever capitalism first starts it needs to create a working class. In England the corn and enclosure laws created a working class out of peasants having loss their right to make a living on what had been communal land. Even today a small farming village in Thailand government sold the land to a big company that wanted the land for a rubber tree plantation. In came bulldozers and cops to just take that land. In the capitalist countries government and capitalism are tied together. Those area that can't make a profit are placed under control of the government.

  27.  @garrettwight1027  Sure after the capitalist tear up the world with world war. In 1917 the Russian Bolsheviks take the poorest and most backward Empire in Europe and make it into the second workers state after the Paris commune. The defeat the monarchy and capitalist forces along with 14 Imperialist Armies including the US/UK.

  29.  fynes leigh  So you are basically a believer in predestination. That man lacks free will and can only choose what has already been predetermined? That may be a comforting thought but that doesn't make it true. If it is true it leaves the believer with the comfort of knowing he couldn't do anything about what happens in the future. If false though it then begs the question of what choices one should make in life and why. If the second is chosen it couldn't affect the first anyway unless the second is true.

  40.  @ianrotten4453  Half of all human beings on Earth live in cities supported by agriculture. You don't really believe in an advanced capitalist country like the United States that even 1/2 of the population can just return to hunting and fishing do you? Without outside help if suddenly their was no diesel and gas for those tractors and combines never mine rail and semi's you'd see a famine. They don't allow even a minority to hunt and fish at will because in almost no time their would be no large animals to hunt and rivers, streams and lakes would be fished out.

  42.  @ianrotten4453  Communism isn't a doctrine with its holy priests. It is a movement on its way to state power and world socialist revolution. The French revolution was fought in the name of Liberty, Equality, Fraternity. The Bolshevik was fought in then name of Bread, Land and Peace. Bread for the worker, Land for the Peasant and Peace for the soldier. So it was not Karl Marx who first dreamed of equality nor were we the first to fail at equality either.

  51.  @ColonelEmpire  Some of us have real responsibilities and can't just become jet setters. The Cuba government has never denied giving General Batista's torture criminals a open to the press a war crimes trial and execution. They got trials which more than their victims got. When Che Guevara was captured in Bolivia did he get one of your bourgeois trials? No the order was "shoot from the neck down. We want to make it look like he died in battle."

  53.  @ColonelEmpire  I'm sure you would have liked living next door to General Batista's torturers. To bad they got trials that found them guilt and faced a firing squad. That was more of a trial than any of their victims got. Do you want some more "Scar Faces" form Cuban jails? Just accuse the Cuban government of holding political prisoners and they send all who want to go. You don't like having to hear the truth from someone Trump can't deport. That's the real reason you want me to leave.

  54.  Leslie thats me  If the election were held last January I think Trump would have won especially because he beat the impeachment. If it was held today I could not see how he wins with the coronavirus pandemic. If nothing changes in the coronavirus pandemic I don't see him winning. He will be blamed for the pandemic regardless of what he does. .

  58. This guy is a complete idiot hardly a word about communism. Did he ever here of Leon Trotsky and the fight of the left opposition against Stalin? Did he really take a course on communism? Just a bunch of stupidity about Gays and Lesbians. Little more than rambling about his own personal problems.

  59. Well what do you say about Saudi Arabia? Its not real capitalism? I've heard Peterson get up on his high horse with all the indication he can must and say if only I ran the damn revolution I would have ushered in the damn utopia. This of course is the cold warrior Peterson's reply to Trotsky. Trotsky having been murdered in Mexico on Stain's orders along with 1,000's of the Left opposition framed and murdered in the Soviet Union is not here to defend himself so I will. First the October revolution was the only choice for the workers and peasants. As Trotsky said Fascism would have been a Russian instead of an Italian word. Lenin would die in 1924 but not before wanting Stalin out of his position as General Secretary. Had Lenin lived or had Trotsky acted then instead of later would that of prevented all the damage Stalin would have done? That's only a possibility and no doubt a better one. We are optimistic and we will plead guilty on that charge alone.

  61.  @benjaminchartier6458  Stalin didn't purposely starve people to eliminate opposition it was his disastrous policies that brought about starvation. His murder purge of the 1936 to 1938 Moscow frame up trials came after the disaster not before to then eliminate criticism of his policies. Human nature is best when everyone has a full belly and a warm bed. No so good otherwise.

  62.  @marikeschmidt7602  With the end of the NEP no one owned the means of production meaning private property had been abolished. Yeltsin/Freedman recreated private property by making the workers "real owners" and issuing salable stock certificates to them. That along with shock therapy to forced their sale to a new and even more corrupt capitalist class.

  64.  @danielameyer3598  The first victims of Stalin were the communist left opposition to Stalin not 'wrong thinking capitalists'. The days when the Stalinist with their many counterfeit "Socialism in One Country" countries which became "Socialism in NO Country" are all but gone. Today the Cuban revolution continues because it never became or was started as a hated Stalinist police state. Only 90 miles away they are still a bone in the throat of US Imperialism. The people of a small Island standing off from the greatest Empire ever know in human history. A people who's internationalism is saving the lives of the poor and humble across the world. Today 10,000 foreign medical students are training in Havana to be doctors at no direct cost to the student. In the US only those with either money or willing to take out $100,000 loans can be doctors in the US unless they migrate from other countries where special rules for immigration to the US apply.

  65.  @randyweaver6543  Go watch the movie "Scar Face". That's why sitting US Presidents keep their months shut about political prisoners in Cuba. The last major victory for the US in Cuba was canceling elections and making General Batista dictator. Just like other supporters of the US Imperialism you show your contempt for any people who don't want a US puppet in power. Regime change is the atomic bomb heard around the world.

  66.  @randyweaver6543  Che Guevara told the Soviets, "If they hit us don't wait for them to hit you. Fire your missiles immediately." Kennedy's reckless actions came close to setting off WW3. Go watch more cable TV propaganda it wasn't called "a vast wasteland" by an FCC chairman for nothing. The rest of your insults show such promise and great ability in politics that you should pick one of the two ruling parties and run for dog catcher to qualify for a presidential run if your not already a qualified billionaire.

  69.  @dawid12301d  Congratulations on your independence. However after looking at World Bank Figures Poland hasn't recovered from its highest GDP in 2008. That was of course the time of the capitalist meltdown. Plus it is measured with consumption and private investment. Those can be shifted back and forth between consumer spending (wages) and private capital investment (profit). Meaning wages can remain flat while investment continues to rise.
