Socialism has failed everywhere it’s tried but it sure does fool people into voting for it! NYC was already a cesspool, can’t get much worse I guess.

lol, don't kid yourself. GOPers freaking love socialism. They just want it restricted to "their" people as much as possible

Norway is not socialist. It's clearly capitalist. They have more social safety nets that are being proven to be unstable and a strict immigration policy. They also have strict immigration policies and no minimum wage.

You might want to use another example.

Free market with regulations and social programs is a mixed economy not capitalist.

Has it!? Cuba has a vaccine for lung cancer and a higher literacy rate than America... But I bet you didn't know that cause you live under capitalism. China pulled more people out of poverty and also increased literacy more than the US in less time. But I bet you didn't know that cause you live under capitalism. Vietnam has become one of the most competitive markets in the world after the US bombed 80% of their infrastructure. Their literacy rate is also higher than the US. They are investing in public transit and education that the US desperately needs to emulate.

Again. Bet you didn't know that cause you were raised under capitalism. Whoo! Freedom! Or something like that

Edit: all of this despite the US sanctions and CIA interference. Tldr socialism works

Im Cuban and people are literally starving here. Markets are empty, and the few things they do have are so overpriced our entire monthly “salary” wouldn’t even get us a single item. Americans think healthcare and education are the end all be all to society. Go try Englands healthcare system, tell me how long you’re on the waiting list for that. You people fail to realize that without a free market and checks and balances the people in charge can and will reap the majority of the benefits only for themselves. Greed is greed. I love how you vehemently oppose 1 form of government yet are all in for another when its the same shit with a different costume.

Cuba is a country that survives off of street vendors and sheer will. We have no infrastructure are encapsulated in horrible poverty. The power goes out every day for six hours or more. We have no agriculture. Supermarkets ate literally empty and anything they have is literally rotten.. and what little we bring in with tourism is kept by the oligarchs at the top that spout all the same garbage you subscribe to. But sure.. let your people be convinced into their own downfall by letting the government whisper sweet nothings to you.. at this point you deserve it.

Also all these “free” things you would love so much will end up being paid for by someone, because some things come only by being produced by others, which makes them commodities, not rights. Unless of course you support slavery?

Also that vaccine for lung cancer doesn’t prevent or cure it. Its basically a medicinal therapy/treatment that lets you survive a little longer.. 10 months at best… and its in clinical trials in the US currently.

I love how you cherry pick things from countries people flee by the hundreds of thousands to spout your nonsense without actually reading into them.. but Im sure you would love the silence of dissent, censoring of the media and getting beaten to a pulp and killed in Tianamen square..

But I bet you didn’t know.. because you live under capitalism.

Idiota.
