    People fleeing communist countries en mass sure is a mystery. Who could ever know why they built the Berlin Wall or why Cuban families risk their children on rafts to get to a capitalist country

      You are aware that the vast majority of undocumented immigrants are coming to America from other capitalist countries right?

        still

        >many cases of people fleeing from communist countries to capitalist ones

        >far less cases of people fleeing from capitalist countries to live under communism

        most people don’t want communism, that’s why there are no democratic elections in communist countries and wrongthink is persecuted

        This reply perfectly highlights why people who have issues with basic logic support communism.

      Living conditions for the majority of the population in Cuba are far better than in any capitalist Latin American country. This is despite the brutal blockade on Cuba by the burger empire. Please go make a clown of yourself elsewhere.

          The kind of abject poverty you see in Latin American countries simply does not exist in Cuba. Everyone has access to basic necessities, education, and healthcare. Cuba has even higher life expectancy than US.

              Of course, the blockade is doing incredible amounts of harm. My point is that even despite that, Cuba manages to do a better job ensuring a minimal standard of living than capitalist countries in Latin America. What this shows is that communism performs better under extreme stress than capitalism does under best conditions.
