  1. I'd say it goes deeper than that. Taiwan/Republic of China has been a part of China since at least the Ming dynasty where Cuba was never a part of the USA. The people on both sides of the straits are culturally and ethnically Han Chinese. It's more akin to Texas compared to the Union.

  2. What do you think of BRICS and South Africa's role in this organisation?

  3. Such a terrible failure? Great education (free), universal healthcare (free), housing for all – no homelessness (free), no endemic malnutrition or starvation with low cost food (healthy diet). Oh, and not to mention a military that the elites of the West feared after it had destroyed the fascism that capitalism had created in response to the very appealing ideology of communism and the liberation of the Russian people (and Eastern Europeans) from monarchy and serfdom. It also provided much needed aid and inspiration to Global South countries throughout the world to such an extent that the wonderful capitalist (corporatist) role model that you presumably admire so much had to resort to fomenting coups and installing military junta which proceeded to kill and imprison millions of its own to impose the capitalist paradise (never a failed experiment, oh no, it's never described as such) that people like you admire so much. Ever visited a favela (slum) lately? Ever encountered a US-trained death squad? Know someone who was disappeared? People talk about Stalin's purges but signally fail to draw the obvious parallels with the purges of the Latin American peoples.
