There are 0 commie nations that aren't miserable shitholes. History knows no commie nation that wasn't a miserable shithole. The ones that have at least some post-60s technologies are the ones that used capitalist markets to get hold of them.

Personally I'm doing well in my nordic welfare state, bang on capitalism with literally 0 downsides. I honestly don't really care what some slightly obese guy who doesn't know how to groom himself thinks about the theory of it, shit works in practice and that's what I care about. Also NATO is fucking awesome, guns and shit, it's cool.

Famously the US has hypersonic missiles, unlike communist shithole China.

I bet the people starving in Cuba would love a hypersonic meme, or some other wunderwaffe that'll surely make the evil americans bend their knee.

And then we have a commie whose argument against reality is - let's see - violence. How surprising, I've never seen this turn of events from commies before in history. Truly a first, not foreseen by the extensive research into theory (instead of reality).

Cubans are going through tough times because the largest empire in the world has sieged them for 60 years. And they still have higher literacy than that empire.
