This is the model Bernie and AOC view as a dream. I really don’t get it...Cuba, North Korea, Vietnam, Venezuela Russia, which socialist country has ever worked?

Yes but in Cuba you know that there are no Bezos or Gates holding the majority of the wealth. In Cuba there is justice and poverty for all. You can eat your sardines and crackers in solidarity with your comrades. It's only food.

I guess its a matter of who benefits in socialist areas.

The leaders tend to do quite well.

I just don't understand the lambs who support them, who are willingly marching to slaughter.

All for a little bit of social justice warrior credibility.
I hope its worth it, kids.

to 2:25..............the wealth in cuba is held by the stinking cuban communist party, all of whom should be lined up and shot or maybe hung like saddam hussain was.
ill never understand why this county could spend 10 years, billions of dollars , and thousands of lives, to go screw around with iraq, when a murderous communist regime exits right on the doorstep of this country.

Wait until he discovers Little Debbie products...he'll forget the apples and fruit.

The ruling class in a commie state always does well - that's their intention. In commie countries the well stocked grocery stores are for the party members only, not the unwashed masses. Party members like pelosi, harris, schumer, biden, etc. They also get their own dedicated traffic lane, and dachas in the country.

But this stuff isn't taught in the critical race theory public schools.

And what's funny is that this "paradise" is an Aldi's. Bare bones store. The opposite of our pretentious Whole Paychecks. To him, it's ultraluxe. Saw it in Nicaragua, as Cuba and the Soviet Union tried to bring the paradise to Latin America. Now, they just use Bernie and AOC and "the Squad."

It might be a good life experience if Gates, Bezos, Booty-Judge (along with A.O.C and her "squad ") shop at a Venezuelan style grocery for a few months.

I didn't include Prez Uncle Joe as I doubt he would know if he was in
Venezuela or at the Gluckstadt exit on I-55.

Just 35 years ago, Russians arriving in the US would go to the store to buy a toothbrush, and stand there totally confused. There were so many brands and types that they could not make a decision. They had never had a choice. And the young bucks who think we want to go that route are so, so naive.

Democrat answer to solving all the worlds problems! Throw more money at the problem! LOL

3:53 Cuba is not likely to destabilize an oil producing region ;)

The catch to all of our food surplus is that most of it is GMO poison because high yields, profits, and quantity over quality are the goals of American agricorps. What is even more maddening is that the profits are privatized and the losses subsidized by the taxpayer. And lets not even get into the health costs of diabetes, heart disease, low testosterone; and numerous negative health effects of consumption.

Americans are so absolutely ignorant to believe this hokey propaganda. Cubans can travel to other countries. They have seen grocery stores in Mexico, Canada, Spain, Vietnam, and China. Hell, just watch youtube videos about North Korean grocery stores. Yes there are foreigners living in Havana and Pyongyang.

You ignorant buffoons reminiscing about the Cold War don't even realize that Cubans have access to Chinese made toothbrushes just like we do.

Get a grip people.

@5:55 - Our family had several Russian exchange students live with us back in the 1980s. Our stores and choice selections were overwhelming to them. I took one girl to the mall to buy her some American clothing and she burst into tears when she saw all the different styles of blue jeans. Another one kept walking up and down the cereal aisle just staring at the boxes.


We also sponsored some Russian businessmen who were attending some seminar or classes at JSU for several weeks. I took them for walk across our land to the big lake in the woods. They couldn't grasp the concept that our family owns all that land and the lake, that the police cannot come to our land unless they have a warrant or good cause, that no one else can come to our land unless we give permission. The concept of private ownership was very hard for them to grasp.

@5:37
Yes, during the cold war the US and their allies had numerous trade embargoes against the Soviet Union and her allies. This prevented them from having access to a lot of imported goods.

Those jeans and clothes you boast about were made somewhere outside the USA. In the 1980s and early 1990s clothes for Americans were usually made in the Philippines under the Marcos Dictatorship. Do you know anything about Ferdinand Marcos? About Pinochet? Of course you don’t because you are an ugly, ignorant American.

I grew up in Australia. While we had many visitors and tourists from the Soviet States, none ever reacted to our quantity of consumer goods the way you Yanks describe. It sounds like you all believe the fictional propaganda film Moscow on the Hudson was a documentary. In typical yank fashion, you can’t separate movie characters from reality. Consumerism is only a culture in this mentally ill nation. No matter how hard you Yanks try to export it.

None of the above can be posted in four years if we allow the democrats to stay in control.

"Waiting in line for food is a good thing!" Sen Bernie Sanders

5:37 AM,
I wonder why those completely real and totally not fictitious businessmen didn’t tell you about their traditional family Dachas?

to 9:18.....the middle east as been ''destabilized ''for the past five thousand years.
W bush launched his iraq 'war' in order to run up oil prices as high as possible. by 2007 prices had reached about 165$ a barrel.
i do realize the people on this site have very short memories, but the bush family fortune and business is oil. the bush family pumps it out of the ground and sells it. and the higher the price the more money they made.
i do realize that art early imitates life, but W must have watched those episodes of dallas in the 1980s ,where JR started a war in the middle east to boost prices.

I'm scared this may be a reality for the US in the next 20-30 years.

More Bubba pandering to his base by the host. Would have thought at least a regular commenter builder, or maybe a car dealer had been to Cuba in the past 10 years.

I don't get the Gates/Bezos hate. Sure you may not like them, or what they believe in, but imagine the audacity for someone to think they can tell someone how much wealth they can have. Truly amazing times we are living in.

https://blog.chron.com/thetexican/2014/04/when-boris-yeltsin-went-grocery-shopping-in-clear-lake/#photo-433896

is a link for when Boris Yeltsin visited the grocery store outside of Houston back in 1989'ish. Pretty cool.

You are the stupid ones, 10:12, 6:46, who don't understand that the cutoff of Soviet aid long ago as well as the realities of a fool's economy have made things WORSE in Cuba than ever before. Trump's sanctions and the complete dropoff in tourism during the pandemic have devastated Cuba even more. Folks are fed up with shortages.

Here's a "ignorant" American news media excerpt: "And that's not just wishful thinking. Even as the island nation faces a devastating economic crisis, with people lining up for basic food necessities, scientists are developing multiple vaccine candidates. "

Complete with photos of food lines. They aren't just short of your fave toilet paper, they are short of the very necessities in food.

The source? Oh, that "right wing" NPR.

We know a lot more about Latin socialism and governments than you'll ever know. And Cuba is and has been a wreck forever.

You wanna know how bad things are in the world today? There is undeniable evidence of what has to be be real UFO's in the Pacific and no one give a S&%t.

"Vidal used to work for the Central Bank of Cuba before emigrating to Colombia ten years ago. He says Cuba's often-troubled economy is right now facing serious shortages of many consumer goods including food, cleaning products and even medicines. Vidal says ordinary Cubans spend much of their day queuing in lines for basic necessities and searching for chicken meat. "

Facts from March 2021, 6:46, 10:12.

8:31 short memories? I was referring to the Iraqi invasion of Kuwait in 1990.

That's right, if you ain't got what it takes to start your own blog, attack the man who does. If you ain't anything else, Goober, you are persistent.

@9:15AM
Pearl, Flowood, Jackson, and Madison all had shortages in 2020. In 2021 there are still shortages and supply chain disruptions. Imagine how much harder it is when your nation is under embargo.

Hmm..... you mean Cuba can get food ONLY from the U.S. and not other countries?

@9:13
Bob Lazar told the nation 35 years ago.
Commander Fravor has been telling anyone who will listen about his encounter while flying an F18 for more than 15 years.
Mexican Journalist Jamie Maussan has been telling the world since 1991.

Maybe the only thing that will unify this divided nation is a hostile ET invasion.

@Kingfish,
No, but nations that want to do business with the USA submit to our hegemony and our embargoes. Because if they do not then they lose access to our markets. Don’t you know this stuff? Aren’t you Mississippi’s greatest blogger journalist?

When taking an International Ballet Competition judge from Tel Aviv to the grocery in 1986, she said to me, "one of my greatest pleasures in life is walking through one of your supermarkets"..she's from a modern country and has traveled the world..and said that about something we take for granted.

Many foreigners also used to see their first morbidly obese person when they visited America.

Do schools not teach anything about communism and socialism? It’s amazing how many comments I see where the author obviously couldn’t provide even a basic definition of either.

@12:59
The need to teach it. And they need to point out that the USA is the most successful socialist country on the planet since FDRs New Deal. The suckers that are paying for everything (working class) shoot themselves in both feet while they clamor to defend the rich who do everything within their power (remember the Panama papers?) to keep from paying their fair share.

1:58,
You forgot to include that the rich have brilliantly convinced the working class suckers that the poor are to blame and not the rich themselves. This is despite investment firms and banks have received more socialism in the form of bailouts since 2008, than what poor people have received in EBT and Section 8 housing since 2008.

2:54 PM, a card-carrying commie hater here.

But - you are correct in pointing out the extreme socialism injustice of the 2008 bailouts.

And - you forgot to mention the extreme socialism injustice of the 2020 Payroll Protection Program (PPP) to business owners enjoying record profits i.e. didn’t even need, much less deserve said government socialism

(it has been estimated that 50% of PPP funds were wasted on business owners that didn’t suffer a decrease of income/profits, but ended up winning a government socialism windfall lottery without even having to buy a ticket).

But, not a word from the so-called Socialist's that proclaim their hate for Millionaires and Billionaires;

nor from the so-called Republicans claiming to be “Fiscal Conservatives.”


I could go on (specifically about Gates, Buffet, Bezos, et al) but the Master Censor KF (that makes Jack Dorsey and Mark Zuckerberg look like 1st Amendment Free Speech advocates) will not allow too much truth on this site; maybe because it decreases clicks.
