Cuba is socialist for a longer time. That's why they have great health infrastructure and very low crime rates for the Latin American standards. Venezuela was always very capitalist and that's why they have a even more social inequality than Brazil.

They have better leadership.

and the state venezuela deteriorated to is the state cuba always was in food shortages are the norm in cuba

Non meme answer, it seems that the deal was that the US would leave Cuba alone if they took the missiles out in the cold war, was that pact honored? Maybe yes? Maybe not if take a look at the fact that the CIA tried to kill Castro numerous times until maybe 2010.

Second note is that Cuba is doesn't have oil, so that makes Cuba a worthless target for the CIA.

Third note, Cuba is definitely prosperous but if you like coca cola, internet or anything technology related then you are not gonna get it, the communists have no food meme also is proven false due to fact that Cuba has a very high obesity rate.

Fourth note, the high school girls wear those really short and tight skirts that make my penis hard

>the communists have no food meme also is proven false due to fact that Cuba has a very high obesity rate.
it's very real, food and your next meal is very important in Cuba where many are nutrient deficient, hungry and much shorter on average due to food scarcity to keep population weaker and less active and more subservient,.

>moderately prosperous
>people drown on boat rides to get to america

Cuba – Urban 168 cm (5 ft 6 in) 156 cm (5 ft 1 12 in) average height

stop reading dumb propaganda or you wont get a reply out of me.

i mean, it's havana. the capitol. the place to be. what about the poorer areas

yeah, i have a hard time believing this. it seems more like scare tactics like, oh god please don't be overweight in cuba. whereas in usa, that is a lost cause

Because cuba never put too much stock into one resource unlike venezuela (even before chavez). Also Cuba has been embargoed for ages whereas venezuela has only been embargoed recently.

United States 175.3 cm (5 ft 9 in)
Cubans suffer from severe nutrient deficiencies due to the stranglehold the totalitarian state has on the country.

Because of remittances,
also Cuba had a strong population planning policy, preventing their population growth from exceeding economic “growth”,
If not for communism/socialism Cuba would’ve been first world,

It seems that cubans eat better than some europeans

don't use whataboutism. i thought we were talking about cuba. now you're off to poor areas in europe

>Controlling population bad
>Preventing your country from turning into india bad

Reddit is two blocks down.

Literally every other capitalist country in the region is poor as fuck. A capitalist Cuba would be a DR at best

Having Oil is a curse, just look at Equatorial Guinea, while the presidente, his family and friends get rich from petrodollars the rest of the cititzens and the economy are shit. Without oil Cuba had to create an economy that functions at some level. Venezuela had a few bonanza years and they gave all the money away to put socialists in power in the rest of Latin America.

>A capitalist Cuba would be a DR at best
i have heard some horrible things about DR crime too. horrible murders

Compare Denmark with Cuba in the source I posted

cuba has more unmixed white spaniards
thats why

>If not for communism/socialism Cuba would’ve been first world,
Yeah bro if only batista stuck around a little longer and Cuba would have been first world just like the rest of central america.

But Spain itself is a poor country. Hows that possible?

They are more insulated to the peripherical capitalistic countries are subjected to by the first world (central capitalism) interests.

S.A. is contrantly desestabilized to maneuver the statuos quo of the trade of things like minerals, petrolium, drugs, etc.

>If not for communism/socialism Cuba would’ve been first world,
>Yeah bro if only batista stuck around a little longer and Cuba would have been first world just like the rest of central america.
most of europe has has dictatorships before in capitalism and they transitioned the leadership to democracy and are prosperous.

That's explain why they are lazy comminists

to the war games*

And by that I meant the pressure tactics always come from exterior pressure, as oppose to from within.

the fact is if you get political thieves out of the economy and controlling and robbing people blindly and let the people have freedom in their economical life they would be more prosperous.

Most of Europe has been rich before that too

Never said it was bad, if not for population planning, Cuba would be venezuelan tier,
Other capitalist nations never imposed population planning, causing their nation to have unstable population growth(specifically among income groups, causing high rates of inequality),

ah cuba ... my favorite european country. Maybe compare Cuba to the rest of central america instead of europe? retard

that's literally what castro did

Yeah, who wouldnt want to be like 90s Russia, right? A example to be followed!

Cuba confirmed better that denmark in every aspect

that's literally what castro and his political party are, political thieves.

?
are you genuinely retarded?

You speak like a american

what are they other than politicians controlling peoples lives einstein?
and managing and controlling peoples money.

Cuba hdi is literally above Mexico and Ukraine, both right wing capitalist countries, you are really streching here if you think Cuba would become Sweden just by being capitalist.

do you know anything about cuban history?

they really arent
the EU fucked them up good though

Not really, just pointing the fact that the me that socialism=hunger is simply not true
Thats literally what every country in the world does. Or do you truly think that you're free in America?

we're ignoring the wonderful things that our CIA and FBI does to the areas south of us

>Cuba hdi is literally above Mexico and Ukraine, both right wing capitalist countries, you are really streching here if you think Cuba would become Sweden just by being capitalist.
Cuba would be a country where people could at least not worry about the ego and power of a ruling party getting angry at what you say or think.

They willingly joined the EU, and we havent seem any spaniard trying to leave it

And what do you expect? there's corruption everywhere since 6000bc, do you think the USA doesn't have corrupt politicians too? I am pretty sure Cuba corruption situation is not as bad as some African shithole owned by warlords or romania.

Maybe you should stop watching TV?
