uhh can anyone debunk this if it isn’t true, or clarify if this is some dengist thing

Labour Minister Marta Elena Feito said the list of authorised industries had expanded from 127 to more than 2,000.

Only a minority of industries would be reserved for the state, she said.

I don’t know, to me “if we entrench ourselves into capitalism as deep as we can we will be able to establish communism” is idealist, luckily between the two there are a pretty wide range of options

It is of course, it will slowly corrupt them just as well as it did ussr, and they will collapse into usa puppet. Unfortunately they don’t have options, as an island nation without resources, and heavily restricted trade, which makes acquisition of modern means of production extremely hard.

Well put. A state in prolonged economic warfare with the worldwide empire is going to have to make a lot of complex and difficult decisions.

We need to end the blockade (said economic warfare), N.O.W!

Cuba was never socialist. They are moving from a misguided inefficient form of capitalism to a proven efficient form of capitalism. This is good for the Cuban people, but the move itself is irrelevant as far as socialism is concerned.

Nope, they were never socialist. Can you define socialism for me? Because if your definition of socialism is “state owns capital”, then yes it is socialist, but no Marxist would call it socialist.

I mean, not that I disagree with you, but there is a Russian saying: “People outside of a burning building have a better view of the fire”.

This “wEll YoU dON’t LiVE tHEre!!!” line isn’t really a very compelling argument.

Capitalism with open markets and competition is better than capitalism with state ownership, made up prices and closed markets, aka “AESC” .

We’re talking about Cuba, I know reading is hard, but try to keep up. No one here is even dumb enough to think that China is “socialist” in the same sense as Cuba. What was China’s GDP growth like when they had an economic model similar to Cuba during Mao?

Fidel spoke about this when he talked about China while he was alive

"I think China is a socialist country, and Vietnam is a socialist nation as well. And they insist that they have introduced all the necessary reforms in order to motivate national development and to continue seeking the objectives of socialism.

"There are no fully pure regimes or systems. In Cuba, for instance, we have many forms of private property. We have hundreds of thousands of farm owners. In some cases they own up to 110 acres. In Europe they would be considered large landholders. Practically all Cubans own their own home and, what is more, we welcome foreign investment. But that does not mean Cuba has stopped being socialist.

Does Fidel Castro count as a true leftist?
