    so is cuba for a capitalist controlled united states. the capitalist oligarchy have already lost the narrative battle that socialism creates hellholes in countries with vast numbers of people and resources like china and losing that narrative w a small nation that continues to thrive despite all attempts to choke it to death proves that capitalism isn’t necessary nor fundamental to anything.
