    You should have lived in Titos Yugoslavia to see what's decent life. We had free medical care and free education. My fathers wage was enough to build a family house and to educate me and my two sisters at university 500 km away from our town.
    No rasism, no hungry people, no homeless people, it was a real Paradise.

    I wish we still were in the historical moment of 1972, when anti-imperialist, socialist forces were on the ascendant and imperialism seemed to be in retreat. It really did feel that way at the time, but then we got real, extreme, violent change with Reagan's election in 1980 and we've been rushing down a steep slope toward disaster ever since.

      That was an intentional turning point on the part of the CIA which made a concerted effort to squander any socialist movements for fear of having the government overthrown. Now we are so uneducated and so powerless to the wealthy that it is hard to see a way out of this situation.

      Look up the current Communist/socialist movements in India and the Philippines. Many aspect's of our current political situation parallel the 1960s and 70s.

      She is right about how men do that, but in Islam women arent even allowed to wear veils even in mecca I'm saying this as a Muslim women , the men who kill women and oppress them are usually men who are fueled misogynistic culture , they think that they're allowed to do that just because they're a man and that they're privileged

    She was so right. The Soviet Union (USSR) is a great country. It will live on for another 1000 years. I mean just look at how great Cuba and Venezuela are doing. People in Central America are forming caravans and armadas to migrate to these two shining beckons of Socialism. I see on the news every day how there are lines of people waiting at the borders of Venezuela and Cuba to enter. Cuba and Venezuela accept them with open arms. Ain't no body trying to get it to America. The borders around America are a desert of emptiness. Hell, they don't even have border walls, border gates, border check points and border guards in America because ain't no body wants to go to that run down country. Via la Socialism! Time for the afternoon Latte at Starbucks.

      You forgot to mention the constant CIA intervention in another sovereign nation's affair. You should be asking yourself what they are so scared of to constantly disrupt.

      Sanctions are strangling those countries, prior to recent sanctions on Nicaragua, nicaraguans “fleeing” was non-existent (which the numbers of Nica’s leaving are still quite low)
      Most of those people your virtue signaling about in terms of “fleeing” have come from Mexico, Honduras, El Salvador, Guatemala. The socialist Libre party brought some level of decency in Honduras before a US backed military coup in 2009 turning it into a shithole.
      Regardless cope and seethe Cuba and Venezuela will never be yankee colonies
      Edit: You point to Cuba and “Muh vuvuswella”, while i’ll point to the success Nicaragua and Bolivia, btw China is winning the cold war dumbass, again cry more

      For real. Not like those countries are being brutally sabotaged and economically sanctioned by the US or anything.

    The lure of Socialism at the time was its direct antagonism to the imperialist mindset but in all honesty, Socialism cannot make an appreciable dent in poverty neither can it create wealth in society that can be spread to some degree through taxation.

      @@BZ-pe4le yeah but most of them men who kill women without veils are misogynistic men who were raised in a toxic culture like that . In Islam women dont even have to wear veils its unnecessary. In mecca till this day and from the time of the prophet women weren't allowed to wear veils. so the men who act like isnt because of islam its because of their misogyny and toxic culture , but other than that point I do agree with Angela davis
