What did she mean by this?

I don't really understand what his actual problem with Cuba is. If he actually knew anything about Cuba then they're doing extremely well.

Hegel really was right all along…

How does capitalism never runs out of poor people's money to spend on corporate welfare though??

What did you mean by this?

Trump literally gets all his political information from Fox News, Fox & Friends in particular. This is the current president of the United States.

most amusing irony of this: she increased the overall tax burden in the UK because all her income tax cuts were offset by a fucking massive VAT hike.

Isn't… Isn't that basically taxing the poor so the rich can have more money?

Exactly. Hence for doing the shit she is complaining about.

Are there any good books/essays that give a solid overall picture of how much this bitch fucked everyone's shit up?

The average Cuban is making the equivalent of 25 US Dollars a fucking month and NEED a second private sector job just to get by. Are you crazy or just willingly ignorant??

there is no private sector in cuba you dumb cunt. and you don't need a salary when everything is provided either

engagecuba.org/cubas-private-sector/

reuters.com/article/us-cuba-economy-idUSKBN1AN29X

the government had, in the past, been handing out private business licenses for years. I don't know why you hate facts

not exactly what you'd call private sector in the us

and still, the only things not provided are the private sector goods themselves.

Please take a look and help me understand how things are "going extremely well" in Cuba and "I have to fly to America to buy toilet paper" Venezuela

money.cnn.com/2016/09/28/news/economy/venezuela-bring-food-home/index.html

It means she actually doesn't know how fiscal policy works. Printing money and spending it on certain things will automatically move labour time and resources from others and re-allocate it. Taxes are mostly to prevent inflation and reduce inequality, but you could theoretically have universal healthcare and free tuition without any taxes.
This isn't even mentioning how her definition of socialism is retarded.

haha sure

Which talking head convinced you those sources are le fake news, my guy?

Republicans are the real socialists though, since the military is the biggest socialist institution in existence. Checkmate, CONservatives.

you are posting known propaganda sources. i'm not saying everything they post is propaganda, i'm saying since they're known propaganda outlets, i won't go into the trouble of reading those articles and then trying to cross-reference their claims with other sources.

Is self improvement and introspection just too much? There is tangible evidence In the numbers that these specific regimes are not "going extremely well". Even if you write off the sources, the numbers speak for themselves.

Spoken like a true intellectual

Follow your flag's advice.

this
you lose your credibility when the first time you post lies or misdirections
the cover of venezuelan protests lately, was exceptionally disgusting

t. zero critical thinking

Again, I'm not going to go into the trouble of checking your propaganda outlets for validity. Cuba is obviously a country with hardships, since there's a fucking embargo on it and there has been one for years. I'm serbian, and i've seen what an embargo can do to food supplies even in countries like serbia that are 30% fertile farmlands. You should compare Cuba to its neighbors' living standards, not switzerland's.
Compare the quality of life in Cuba, to say Haiti or Jamaica, which are practically no better than african 3rd world hellholes. Cuba on the other hand is efficient enough to produce novel medical research, like the new lung cancer vaccine they shared with the world for free.

When you read a report from an outlet known to spread propaganda, you have to basically cross-check every single sentence. I've done this with many of them when researching the DPRK and Venezuela, and I've seen first hand that they either spread lies, or present truths in a way that suits their rhetoric. So ye, I'm not going to take the time to go through 6 articles that most likely contain a good amount of propaganda, to sort out the bullshit.

Everything is presented propaganda in one way or another. You sort through it, determine the truth to the best of your ability, and you learn from there. The NY Times? CNN? It wasn't until recently that they were memed to be liberal propaganda. As for the Havana Times? Really? Maybe Holla Forums is better suited to your brand of low-effort intellectualism.

ok buddy

Yep. Spotted. You can fuck off to Holla Forums now, thanks.

you're posting nonsense user, you're most likely a dumb liberal that should fuck off. if you actually believe the ny times and cnn "only recently" were "branded" as propaganda, you're a liberal that can't even tell what propaganda is and what means it serves. so stop pretending to be a lefty on the internet and kindly fuck off

...

presenting an argument to what, the fact that the ny times are neoliberal propaganda? why would i even get into that argument? it's not arguing "race realism" with a nazi, it serves no point. it's a well known fact among leftists, the only people needing an argument are liberals. so you keep getting your facts from the ny times, and i'll get mine from rizospastis.

How I Killed Margaret Thatcher is a good fictional book about it, in the style of Mice and Men.

Intentionally pushing the lie that taxes and welfare are socialism.

Oh, Jesus, I've been arguing with a tankie this whole time. No fucking wonder. Sorry. I'll leave you alone now. You enjoy your day.

i don't know what's funnier, the possibility you're a liberal that thinks stalin killed 300 zillions calling me a "tankie", or a trot claiming the ny times and cnn aren't neoliberal propaganda

please tell me which one so i can screencap

Take that screencap, we could all enjoy a good laugh at your expense.

She promoted the neoliberal myth that money is something that is finite and something you can "run out of". Truth is money is created when banks make loans, and government spending is simply borrowing from said banks and injecting money into the private economy, thus fueling growth. The reasons we've had such terrible growth in recent years is neoliberal austerity programs that strive for governments to "live within their means" by not investing in the economy and trying to reduce the deficit. Ironically, by reducing government debt, they instead increase private debt, further halting the economy.

you == the ruling class
run out of other people's money == lose the means to exploit workers

Obviously she meant that if we implement socialism, capitalists will no longer be able to extract surplus value from labor, and that will be a problem for them.

Holy fuck I'm laffin

Always gives me a chuckle that.

You realize you're what they call a "useful idiot", right? Are you selfaware enough to get that?

jesus christ you're dumb.

this board has really gone to shit. i cant even tell if you're a liberal, a trot or a shitposter. neither can you probably

...

I'm a liberal trot NutSac anarchist fascist libertarian centralist socialist feudalist shitposter. Family dinners are pretty awkward.

Mention Maggie to any Northerner over 40 and you'll get a pretty decent verbal essay tbh.

This but unironically

...

What happens when they run out of other people's countries?

You form a global economy.

Compare it to the rest of the Caribbean, factor in that they have been embargoed by the closest superpower for decades, lead even among first world countries in medicine, have higher literacy rates than almost any first world country, and then get back to me about Cuba.

Also you can grab a handful of pictures from any country and make it look amazing or terrible. If you look at pictures from Detroit you would think America is a shithole.

Also, Venezuela is about as Socialist as Germany.

Your regimes will collapse, again, from their unsustainablity and you still won't learn economics

You wouldn´t even question if someone told you she was Hillary´s mum!

Sure thing, buddy. Go back to reddit.

too much shit, didn't watch

If you won't listen to the counter argument and won't engage in discussion, you are the proverbial equivalent of fucking a dead fish.
