You hear what you want to hear. I never said "leftist". I said socialism-communism-attempting. Denmark/Norway/Sweden are leftist, but not socialist, for example, they are all capitalist countries with decent social safety nets built in. If you look at the list of countries that tried to build socialism/communism, most of them went through hyperinflation, and all (as far as I know) destroyed their economy. With the exception of China, which isn't 100% socialist yet (as in, the means of production 100% controlled by the government). No country ever achieved communism. Btw, Cuba is slowly starting to move away from socialism: https://www.nytimes.com/2018/07/22/world/americas/cuba-constitution.html https://www.nytimes.com/2018/07/22/world/americas/cuba-const...
