Yeah, because short of escalating to WWIII the war was lost from the jump. Is being right about that for two years a bad thing? Is losing two years and a ton of casualties later worth anything?

Love how you counter concrete, material facts like "guaranteed housing, employment, and childcare" with fact-free scare mongering like "political pressure" and "control over the media."

There's never any analysis about what this shit really means. "The fucking stasi" gets thrown out there like "the boogeyman" without even a thought towards how the U.S. security state violently repressed a nationwide movement against police violence in 2020, or how right now that same security state is violently repressing people protesting the genocide we're supplying. You're supposed to belive the stasi is the worst thing possible without ever digging into how it functioned, and certainly without asking how it compared to other states.

A new book by Kristen Ghodsee, an anthropologist at the University of Pennsylvania, argues that women have better sex under socialism.

If that sounds strange to you, consider this: A survey of East and West Germans after reunification in 1990 found that Eastern women (the socialist side of Germany during the Cold War) had twice as many orgasms as Western women.

What in the world accounts for such a wide gap?

According to Ghodsee, it’s about social safety nets. If, she argues, you build a society that supports women and doesn’t punish them for having children or devalue their labor, it turns out they’ll be happier and have better sex.

But it doesn't matter how many studies or surveys or policy differences you point to -- some guy always has an old relative whose story outweighs everything.

I'd also be surprised if anyone working on the project was even alive when the code was written.

Still no sources on anything, and you're not even staying on the topic at hand.

Cuba now has a privileged elite defending it's grip on power against the poor majority

Source this.

"It's their fault" is not an objective viewpoint. You are assigning blame to Cuba and excusing the U.S.

You have done zero investigation into how well off Cuban leaders are compared to the average Cuban. You have done zero investigation into how this compares to peer countries.

You just made it up because it sounds like a Bad Country thing, someone told you once that Cuba is a Bad Country, and you never bothered to learn about the place yourself.

Use your words

If you think there's some meaningful difference, let's hear what it is. "I don't support this but it's totally their fault" is not convincing.

I've read the thread. You have no source and you have not even tried to educate yourself on the basics of the Cuban government. You invented an accusation out of thin air and are somehow surprised people don't uncritically believe it.

Please cite me where I state that I support this policy?

You excused it by blaming it on Cuba. There's no meaningful difference between that and support. Any worthwhile take on the embargo starts with ending it immediately, and you can't even manage that.

And sure, I would support sanctions against Nazi Germany. But until Cuba turns fascist, invades its neighbors, and starts a genocide, it's nowhere near a situation where sanctions are appropriate.

I'm sure you have some kind of a source for such an outlandish claim. How much time do you spend looking at the compensation of Cuban politicians?

You're going to bat for the collective punishment of the Cuban people. When is the collective punishment of civilians appropriate in your mind?

You're also supporting a policy that has failed to achieve its stated result for 65 years. What other long-term policy failures do you support?

I believe they did an IPO

Lmao waste your time? You're on a shitposting forum, you're doing that yourself.

I didn't pose any hypotheticals, I pointed out that your weepy moralizing over the idea of endangering spies is ludicrous.
