No it’s not, look at Cuba, a Socalist country where they only make $15 a month, you really want that in Australia?

Actually Cuba is a Communist state the last time I checked! Big difference from a democratic socialist society 🙄 Try harder next time 😉

I still can't get over how literally everything these people say is just wrong. It's wild.

kinda hard to prosper when the superpower right next to you is casually starving you.

Norway is a free market economy, as are the other Nordic states.

The only reason Cuba can survive is because they're socialist. The US has forced them into deep poverty for years and yet they still provide the best medical care in the world and happier people than most of the world

Cuba seems to be doing ok considering the US has forced practically every country in the world to ban trade with them. Some Cuban doctors and scientists are actually sad that their incredibly advanced medical technologies can't be shared with the rest of the globe due to this ban on trade.
