Human development index and quality of life studies put the US ahead of Cuba. Cuba isn't a hellhole that many people make it out to be, but that doesn't automatically make it better than the US. Cuba has better healthcare and lower cost of living, but Americans aren't on rafts to Cuba. One of the problems with enacting good and lasting change in the western world is that life is pretty darn good on the whole.

"Rich country good, poor country bad" One of the problems with enacting good and lasting change in the western world is that life is pretty darn good on the whole. Yes, because the West ruthlessly exploits the global south to prop of it's own standards of living. This is why serious socialist revolutions have mostly only occurred in the Global South.

China feels like late stage ultra capitalism with shortcuts. Yay corporations are married to the government…Pretty much where the US is headed. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 7 child comments replies: [–] somename@hexbear.net 41 points 3 years ago* (2 children) Why is Cuba a failure in your eyes? It seems to be doing better than other countries in the region. It has a higher life expectancy than the US even, and standards of living have risen dramatically since the revolution. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] ImFresh3x@sh.itjust.works -1 points 3 years ago* (1 child) Have you ver been to Cuba? It’s worse than any other country I’ve been to in the Caribbean in terms of standard of living/HDI with way more of the authoritarian garbage you weirdos seem to like. Move there. Send me a pic of your house. I will visit. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] somename@hexbear.net 19 points 3 years ago* You’re actually just wrong lol. Cuba has a larger HDI than most countries in the region. And that’s while being economically strangled by the United States. And what’s this authoritarianism you’re talking about with Cuba? It’s a democracy. And it’s got better rights for minorities than the United States. permalink fedilink source parent [–] brain_in_a_box@hexbear.net 23 points 3 years ago (2 children) Wtf does "Cuba if failure" mean?

"Rich country good, poor country bad" One of the problems with enacting good and lasting change in the western world is that life is pretty darn good on the whole. Yes, because the West ruthlessly exploits the global south to prop of it's own standards of living. This is why serious socialist revolutions have mostly only occurred in the Global South.

Human development index and quality of life studies put the US ahead of Cuba. Cuba isn't a hellhole that many people make it out to be, but that doesn't automatically make it better than the US.
