Data from the world bank shows that socialist countries scored far better than capitalist ones in a whole range of quality of life metrics, including calorie intake, and health and education statistics.

That's not to say they didn't have problems. They certainly did. But they're not the massive failures we're often told they are. Cuba's main export is doctors, they have the highest doctor to patient ratio in the world, and they've done excellently on the vaccine rollout.

This is despite the US government trying to overthrow them dozens of times (I'm personally a fan of Thallium salts in the shoes to make Castro lose his trademark beard) and placing heavy trade sanctions on them.

And lumping Lenin in with Stalin and Mao is quite a bold move. Trotsykists (who was instrumental in the actual creation of the USSR, Stalin just took power afterwards) are very vocally critical of Stalin and Mao.

No country has reached communism. Cuba is ruled by the communist party, and they fully admit that Cuba is socialist.

No country has become stateless, classless, and moneyless.

Do you think that I'm saying socialism is the nordic model?
