      Learn the history. It turns out it’s not as simple as the country that leveled 80% of the structures on the entire peninsula would have you believe.

      If there wasn’t a commercial blockade fucking up with their resources, I’d definitely be trying to move there. Lots of people would.

      Free housing? Safe neighborhoods? Guaranteed employment and living near your job? Good education?

      That’s the dream!

          So, why is Israel not sanctioned to hell for their illegal Nuclear weapons program which they don’t allow international inspectors to observe and refuse to publicly state how many they have? It seems that there are two international Justice systems. One for those whom serve the interests of the west, and one for those who don’t.

          Being socialist.

          The US can’t let socialist countries thrive. Or people would realize that a better system is possible. It would destroy the current narrative that “capitalism might be bad, but it’s the only possible system”.

          Most things that people use to criticize countries like Cuba or NK aren’t their fault or even their choice.

          When people talk about socialist countries, they don’t mention its positives like good education, affordable housing, safety, employment rates, etc.

          They say things like “Cuba has old cars and slow internet” or “In North Korea most people can’t have cars and even lack vitamin C”. But all of that is because of the blockade, not because socialism causes that.

          And if you dare to be socialist, the US will do everything it can to sabotage the country, no matter how many people will suffer because of that.

              Yes, China gets to be an exception for two big reasons. One is that they’re only partially socialist. They allow American companies to profit from their population, which pleases the US (a little). And the biggest one is that China is powerful. Power creates exceptions.

              The US tries to find loopholes all the time, though. They’re always trying to harm China without creating an all-out economic war. Coming up with lies regarding Huawei as an excuse to block them, etc. But they can’t create a blockade against China, because the US would probably lose more than China. The US depends on China more than China depends on the US. Specially because China is the country holding the biggest amount of US national debt, and US dollars.

          You’re reading too much north american propaganda.

          Next you’ll tell me that Cubans eat kids and Chinese have secret holes all the way to the US to spy on people.
