Source your quotes sxb. :icon lol:
Also f*ck antivaxxers because why would any sane adult want near eradicated diseases to return, they should be vaccinated by force or be exiled.
:damedamn:

Some white guy from high school whose dad was a diplomat told me this years ago.

He told me he saw a terrified lady who was fleeing medical attention was dragged in the street by police while doctors were getting their needles ready. She appeared to be a healthy woman

He also told me the locals were only given one roll of toilet paper every few days for a household. He was very pro Castro so I believed all the stories he told me about how locals live there.

He of course did not live on rations. The embassy had everything shipped to them

Exceptions that proves the rule.

Prophet Karl Marx said that socialism can only be implemented in fully industrialised capitalist countries like Denmark, Germany, Canada etc.

It will not work in pre-capitalist states. You can't leapfrog it. That's why socialism in the third world has been a total disaster.

Other than the big two most ones fell due to being actively undermined by the first world, assasinating it's leaders, arming ISIS style rightwing paramilitaries and so and so forth.

The USSR besides it's reign of terror during Stalin showed that you don't have to wait for a society to become an industrialized one before socialism. Besides you'll have cut the line of supply of surplus value from the third world to the first, people being bribed with social democracy will stay happy with their bread crumbs.

A larger than life character. He only wanted what's best for his people at the end of the day. I ain't gonna hold 77 against him, it was a joint coalition which means soviet daddy was the one in charge.

Viva La Revolucion! :win:

The main reason why it fails is because the people are not culturally ready for socialism. You need to have a bourgeoisie populace that has been highly educated and liberal for at least two generations maybe even three. This prevents high levels of corruption and cronyism that is rampant in populations with a recent history of extreme poverty. The Soviet Union was run by a bunch of former lower class morons who for the first time got a whiff of power and wealth and instead of managing it under socialist principles they were out to abuse it. This always happens when you implement socialism in third world societies.

Being educated don't stop corruption, transparency and accountability does.

Corruption levels are linked to culture which in turn is heavily influenced by how educated a population is.

Western countries have low levels of corruption because of their liberal culture.
