History Doesn't Care About Your Feelings

The Pilgrims’ arrival in America under the principals of socialism was a complete failure, as described in John Bradford’s manuscript “Of Plimoth Plantation”

Socialism has never worked in modern society. The only instances of enduring, but not necessarily prosperous, socialism would be indigenous tribes living off the land who did not trade with others (mostly found in Australia and the Amazon.)

The USSR and PRC were the two fastest growing economies in the 20th century, that’s for one.

Cuba’s healthcare system was also renowned as an example for all countries in the world and enjoys a near zero homelessness rate.

I could go on all day.

Here's a great series you should watch about life in the USSR. https://www.youtube.com/c/USHANKASHOW

There are lots of videos on YouTube about Cuba. Here's one. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yPJuMNhnI5I

The USSR collapsed partly due to its economy. China adopted capitalism. Cuba has no money to buy food, medicine, or modern medical equipment. Cuban housing is dilapidated. I could go on all day.

>The USSR collapsed partly due to its economy.

No, it didn’t. Gorbachev was responsible for the collapse of the USSR. Also the USSR was the world’s 2nd largest economy at that time so I don’t see how it could’ve caused the collapse.

>China adopted capitalism.

Calling the PRC capitalist is almost stupidly redundant. Yes, they do allow private businesses, but practically all reasonably sized ones are controlled by the PRC either directly, like with Tencent and how people that have power over it are government employees, or indirectly through owning shares. Also you cannot say “China capitalist” when something good happens and “China communist” when (supposedly) something bad happens.

>Cuba has no money to buy food, medicine, or modern medical equipment. Cuban housing is dilapidated. I could go on all day.

Maybe it’s because the U.S. has been brutally sanctioning Cuba for more than half a century? Just sayin’.

Did you watch any episodes of the Ushanka Show? Have you watched any videos about life in Cuba? Here are some good videos about China: https://www.youtube.com/@ADVChina

USSR was never 2nd largest economy. US, Japan, EU, etc. Many larger economies. USSR didn't have a convertible currency! USSR was about to collapse by the time Gorbachev took office. China is a unique mixture of capitalism and Marxism. Now Xi is rolling back capitalism, and China is falling apart. Take socialism/communism out of your head and put it in the real world with real people. I dare you to visit Cuba. Books and lectures are not real communism. Academia is not real communism.
