  People always say this and then fail to provide a single example of when proper socialism existed and then destroyed the country.

    “This theory when applied didn’t look like the book, therefore it’s not really that theory”

      Communism without actually sharing isn’t communism. Democracy without fair elections isn’t democracy. Socialism without the socialisation of the benefit of production is not socialism. Your ignorance of these things doesn’t change what they are.

        Again, the “the practice doesn’t look like the theory so it’s not real communism”

  How so? Cuba has one of the most open democracies in the world. Plus free healthcare, no homelessness, and enough free high level education to provide Italy with doctors during the pandemic.

  All while the US has an embargo on them for 60 years now to prevent them from trading with other countries, which will hopefully change once China’s Belt and Road Initiative is complete.

  Clearly this model works. It does require expelling landleeches, plantation owners and billionaires if they don’t comply (like Cuba did), but I don’t think most people would be mad about that.

        No, it’s just pointless to argue with someone so out of touch with reality he believes Cuba is one of the most democratic countries
