    A comment as smart as your username. Why take actual data when you can take personal experience, amirite?

    Edit: my comment was written before links were provided through an edit to the previous comment

        Your source aren’t even related to anything the conversation talked about. You’re bringing an article by a Washington-based think tank to talk about oppression in Cuba, and the economic conditions of an island under an economic blockade. How does that invalidate, or even remotely have anything to do with, my previous points? The conversation was about “taking care of people instead of being violent”. That Cuba manages to do so even in a context of relative poverty, tells us a lot about what humans can do “when talking about millions”

          There are protests in Cuba and they are dealt with violently

          Also pointing out inequality (not poverty) is relevant to discussions about taking care of people

            Protests in Cuba are dealt with in a more peaceful manner than the literal riot-geared cops violently kicking protestors out of universities in the USA for daring to oppose a genocide.

            Please enlighten me about inequality in a price with guaranteed state jobs and price controls

                Please tell me how Cuba isn’t one of the most peaceful countries in America, and by which metric. Please tell me how it’s not one of the ones with least inequality and by which metric.
