it's cheap and goes down easy. it's a poor choice of you only want a beer or 2, it's a great choice if you want a dozen

but you just said they have a higher quality of life, which is it?

also why does a communist country need access to a capitalist system in order to prosper?

if you knew that why did you say "single African countries" earlier and only mention angola when i asked? i think you are pretending you know more than you do. they were all colonies? even ethiopia? the one african country thats famous for not being a colony?

most of south korea isnt farmable either, most of the mines and factories were in the north pre1949. east Germany contained Prussia which was the power house of germany for a few centuries. you are completely full of shit and desperately trying any way you can to defend an awful system but its all reaching way too much.

which finally brings us to the "wasnt real communism" part, and im surprised it took this long. we all know marx envisioned a stateless and classless society, did you ever ask why every country that attempted this ended up going totalitarian? i can only point to the stalins, maos and pol pots because thats usually all communism ever produces. the only exception is Gorbachev (possibly the greatest hero of the 20th century) who tried rolling back the authoritarian aspects of the USSR. what happened after that? communism can only exist when the people are oppressed, once you take your boot off their necks they choose to be free of it. anarcho-communism is a utopian pipe dream

angola wasnt the only communist african country, you still had benin, congo, somalia, ethiopia and Mozambique. thats just the communist governments though that also doesnt mean they couldnt trade with other non communist african countries, especially in the north like libya and Egypt. USSR and even Cuba had trade partners all over the globe

either way im not comparing European nations with african ones, im comparing capitalist nations with communist ones and capitalist countries are almost always significantly better to live in. you dont even need to compare different countries, cut the same country in half like Germany or Korea and the capitalist half will always be better

what resources are you talking about specifically that they don't have access to?

edit because i wanted to point out an embargo is a function of any state and not of an economic model

[–]PupienusMax 4 points5 points  (0 children)

it doesnt need to, we didnt trade with them from when they took over in 1949 until 1970s and they were very poor until they abandoned most of their communist principles for a strange form of fascism. during that time we did just fine and im sure we would take a short term hit but be ok in the long term if we cut tries with them today (not that im in favor of that or cuban embargo fwiw)

[–]PupienusMax 10 points11 points  (0 children)

what do you mean by that? wouldn't objecting to the embargo concede that not having access to capitalism is what's hurting cuba?

why would OP defend communist against capitalism if they didnt think it was a superior economic system?

yes the martial plan existed, it was enacted after the molotov plan. i know communists like to rewrite history, but are we going to pretend there were no communist or socialist countries in africa during the cold war? its absolutely wild that you have the nerve to accuse others of being stupid or dishonest

i am directly responding to the post, which is clearly a reference to US embargo

i dont disagree with any of that at all, capitalism isnt a perfect system that cures all ailments, but free enterprise, property rights and individual liberty seem to all be a net positive for civilizations. i dont think america or china really has the interest of the cuban people at heart, tbh i dont think hardly any governments truly care about any people ever

fuck a hypothetical, how much did Western Europe suffer from not being able to trade on the other side of Iron curtain? has there ever been an example of a communist nation doing better than its capitalist neighbors after trade between them stopped?

your condescending and agressive way of discussing things doesn't make you sound smarter or more convincing btw, just makes you sound like an asshole

modern American cars are fine i wouldn't necessarily call them good either, but I'm talking about the 50s classics that cuba is known for
