Castro survives his reign

I was surprised. I thought he'd stay in power until he keeled over. Does this mean he has won over the US basically? He outsmarted all their attempts at his life and attempts to sabotage his government, although it's questionable how good the government there actually is...

raul will take over, try to consolidate his power, brix will be shat.

When I think about Communism in this day and age it seems really ridiculous, like the whole poilitical ideology needs to grow up.

Can anyone name a single country that has been improved by an extreme left government? Or at least has benefits that outweight the huge costs the people and country have paid over time?

you do realize that Cuba was a far shittier place before socialism (the fact that you said communism proves you are an ignorant retard with no knowledge over the subject, but well lets disregard that), and considering the fact that they are doing pretty well off compared to other shitty carribean islands despite being under a fucking embargo, it fails? Hmm...

In b4 retards comparing a tiny island nation with no prior infrastructure to a superpower and claiming an ideology fails, without knowing what it is.

lol it worked, I posted just to get a response and hopefully get the board moving a little faster. At any rate what evidence do you have to show Cuba is better off with 'socialism' than had it progressed five decades without it? Also, you failed to answer my last question about the cost to the happiness of the people.

>>6
Like, every fucking statistic out there - why not have some knowledge before forming opinions, retard?

Also, I'm laughing at the "cost to the happiness of people". I've been to Cuba personally. But oh, if you don't have the right to choose between McDonald's and Burger King, you must be unhappy - right?

Oh I see, the statistics you got from an alternate universe where Cuba became a capitalist paradise. You seem to be arguing conjecture here.

So if you've been to Cuba personally you must have the results of an entirely accurate national questionnaire on public opinion. Hmm.

Cuba> Haiti

USA>most other places>Cuba

well, it's not surprising at all
since cuba ceased to be a threat for US at least 100 year ago there was no reason to kill him
having a communist shithole at your doorstep is actually a blessing
if someone slings marxist dialectics your way you point to cuba and ask "so you wanna live like THAT?"

Cry more, ignorant faggot, it's hilarious.

Congrats on vomiting that retarded and unoriginal piece of thought. That's like saying HEY IF YOU LIKE CAPITALISM, WHY NOT GO TO HAITI/TONGA/SOME AFRICAN SHITHOLE.

>capitalist paradise
you mean, a place where a rich elite rape everyone else without any limitations such as having to pay minimum wage, healthcare and taxes and the de-facto slaves welcomed the change because they were too dumb and they "didn't want to pay tax for nigger welfare"? Sounds like a beautiful place.
