I find this hilarious not because of socialism vs capitalism, but because Cuba has been under a crippling embargo for decades lol. This idiot looks at Cuba and thinks they are poor because they are socialist and doesn't know they literally can't participate in the global economy.
Cuba, Venezuela, etc would be shitholes no matter what system they had. Likewise, Sweden, Germany, and Japan would be the advanced societies they are whether they had their current socialist tendencies, or were more retarded about it like the US is. It's about culture.
You know other places laugh at us like we laugh at Cuba, right? I hope you never get deathly sick and find out what healthcare is really like for Americans.

Oh, Cuba and Venezuela are under an embargo? Why would that be the case if its government its run by such great people? Have other countries tried giving them aid before only to have everything taken by the ruling party and not given to the actual suffering people? You are definitely right about other countries laughing at the US. No one looks at the US as a place of opportunity, freedom, and democracy. Thats why we have zero trouble with immigration. Non sarcasm comment: I work in healthcare so I'm aware our healthcare is the worst of both worlds so not arguing with you about that.
