Ugh, wealth is not the most important thing in the world especially considering that it would take over 5 earths if every human wasted as many resources as Freedom People do. That’s neither sustainable nor a smart thing to do. What Cuba instead focuses on is ensuring that every citizen has their basic necessities covered, which the US does not. Healthcare, housing, social security, ... all things that are taken for granted in properly developed countries, as it should. There’s a reason the life expectancy in Cuba is superior to the US.

Yes, yes, that's why Cubans defect at every opportunity. The Cuban healthcare system is quite remarkable for such a poor nation. It's just telling that they have to work so hard to keep those doctors captive to it.

They do the complete opposite. They send them to other countries all over South America to help them. Ironically, in the middle of the pandemic some US politicians tried to stop this by threatening sanctions against the countries that made use of Cuba’s aid.

Sure, yes, countries which wouldn't harbor Cuban defectors.

Defectors? Dude, your head is filled with so much propaganda shit, I don’t even know what to say. Like do some reading about migration within South America or migration laws in those countries. Just educate yourself instead of dropping some stupid Reddit one-liner.

Yes, yes, everything the tankie doesn't like is propaganda

Accusing an AnCom of being a Stalinist is definitely a sign that you’ve never bothered to read about politics or political theory from a quality source.

This is so fucking stupid. How do you say something like that and believe it makes sense?
