Can you name an example of this succeeding at the same rate American capitalism has if Stalinism is not one?
- 0x262d 7y agoI can't, because American capitalism bombs every attempt to provide an example of an alternative out of existence, precisely to cause people to think there is no alternative in conversations like this. I will say that despite massive sanctions and material scarcity, and an incomplete level of democracy, Cuba gets a lot of things more right than the US (for instance, healthcare for non-rich people). They are also fucking up their environment way less. But it's still scarcity socialism and could be way better. the US also has a very incomplete level of democracy edit: escaping asterisks
