>Cuba has a GDP (PPP) of $20,646, better than Mexico or Argentina
>Cuba has an HDI of .775, better than Mexico or Brazil
What the fuck, I thought Cuba was a shithole even by Latin American standards, but they're actually top tier
Have I been brainwashed by CIA propaganda or are the stats misleading?
HDI is a meme, a very bad one.
It's not that Cuba is good,
it's that both Mexico and Argentina are very, very bad
...
No it's pretty good at what it does.
...
...
Brazil is the king of shitholes. This country has so much poverty and suffering it's scary.
Why Cuba looks like a shithole?
It's communist, what do you expect?
More like comfy as fuck am i right?
You cannot trust totalitarian governments' data, it would seem. This regarding to the HDI.
The GDP per Capita... pic related.
>comfy
It looks extremly poor. Mogadishu tier.
Not even Pyongyang looks so shit.
Latin Americans can't into socialism
The richest one Uruguay looks poorer than Ukraine in street view.
Every Cuban I've met in the US is intelligent and hardworking. They're more like Italians if anything.
>Have I been brainwashed by CIA propaganda
yes.
Cuba is really nice.
I don't think this is CIA propaganda.
Stupid capitalists.
have you been brainwashed?
Yes...
its better than the moscow post 1991 i can tell you that
dont look pics of other countries of LA. It will make you cry.
check out this pic.
A good symptom of nutrition and health of cuban population IMO..
It looks very much like gone-by glory
...
This is Pyongyang. Latin Americans can't into socialism.
Where is Venezuela?
Is it really the North Koreans fault that they are so shit?
If the CCCP didn't collapse could they have just flooded her satellites with sheckels?
they had their first medal , a silver one in Rio.
Do you know what a facade is?
Somebody went in and finished the monolith?
It just needs a new coat of paint
Besides judging the well being of a country by its architecture is pretty stupid.
>be America
>do anything in your power to make Cuba a shithole for 50 years
>come to Sup Forums
>say that they are a shithole
>think you're the good guy
>It just needs a new coat of paint
Nope. They didn't build anything since 60's. They all should be demolished.
>do anything in your power to make Cuba a shithole for 50 years
So America is the only country in the world you can trade? Bullshit.
Cuba got shit tons of money from SU and still look like this crap.
>Have I been brainwashed by CIA propaganda
Nah, just Castro propaganda.
> Mexicos lead by incompetent retards
because it's a shithole
because young spanish cuban teen girls love to get blacked by their tall black daddy pimps
this makes the perfect breed of latin american
>you can't trust the data that doesn't fit my agenda because it's obviously faked
>here's some data that does support my claims, despite being completely irrelevant to the thread
Unless you're trying to imply Equatorial Guinea is the best place on earth
Why USA looks like a shithole?
>Have I been brainwashed by CIA propaganda
Dr Pavel
If I pull that welfare off, would you die?
Communists are well known for being better at sports per capital given that they funnel huge amounts of money into it.
>per capital
american education
Cuba is a backward shithole and you can get 12yo gitls to suck your dick for 5 dollars.
Don't buy any meme about Cuba being good.
Cuba is objectively the best latin country.
>you can get 12yo gitls to suck your dick for 5 dollars.
Time to go to Cuba then.
Equatorial Guinea is a literal oil nigger country now. Now look for the inequality index and see who's taking all the oil money
The stats are padded like the LatinAm user mentioned but their population is the best educated in the region so I expect them to grow quickly and grow rich once they go full capitalist.
>you can get 12yo gitls to suck your dick for 5 dollars
[Desire to know more intensifies]
good at pretending Israel is better than Finland for example
Cuba is fucking shit
So does Venezuela.
Those indexes are just biased towards socialist policies, no matter what. Socialist policies can be either good or bad, but in the cases of both Cuba and Venezuela it is the bad one.
Pyongyang sounds much worse from what I hear. Cubans don't get jailed en masse for watching foreign movies.
what about nominal?
Some of the ornate buildings aren't inhabited.
Unlike Venezuela, Cuba has very little homelessness and child malnutrition.
give me site with this graphics
Its jewgle
Until last year, they couldn't even leave the Island. And unlike Cubans, Venezuelans actually have internet.
Unlike Mexicans Cubans and Venezuelans have heads. :3
No la pude dejar pasar.
one medal? wow, communism work!
>be cuban
>get tons of shekels from USSR
>inverted in olympics medals
>blame one country for being shit
you are a big leaf
>but their population is the best educated in the region
All people with education fled Cuba a long time ago. Now down here there's thousands of uneducated commie retard who think that Cuba is some kind of Elysian Fields. Our equally retarded politicians also go there for "advice".
>believing CIA niggers, ever
Cuba manages to scrape by in spite of standing up to and essentially being shut off from the world by the most powerful country on the planet. Imagine what they'd be like if you burgers actually left them alone for the last 60 years.
Also, any other Latin American flag dissing Cuba ITT can't be trusted because if they are posting from a comfy internet connection, they can't be said to represent the average citizen in their country.
>All these butthurt Sudacas
Like clockwork
Why does Cuba trigger them so
Cuba has the highest literacy rate in Latin America, and their standardized test scores are significantly higher than the Latin American average according to UNESCO
Cuban people enjoy a much higher standard of living than favela monkeys. I understand why you're upset.
In Cuba nobody has Internet at all, so...
Honestly I wish more commie fuckers like this guy would move there instead of living in comfy First World capitalist cunt where stores actually stuff to buy in them and you can express political opinions without being arrested and tortured by police.
The point was never that places like Cuba or the CCCP were worker's paradises; it's that if these undeveloped countries manage to go toe to toe with the imperial powers and eek out a modicum of dignity for all of their citizens, then just imagine what American Communism or British Communism or Japanese Communism is capable of.
Remember that the rash of agrarian revolutions was at odds with much of Marxist theory and was putting the cart before the mule in some ways. And yet when you look at Cuba, then look to Haiti, it still doesn't seem like a big mistake.
>then look at [any LA country].
>it's that if these undeveloped countries manage to go toe to toe with the imperial powers
>go toe to toe with imperial powers
>by turning into a Soviet puppet state
...
It's not as bad as some people here are trying to make it sound... it's much better than places like haiti. I have a white cuban friend, so I know.
The SU was never imperial. From 1917 onward, every fucking country on the planet was trying to smother it in the cradle. Yet it managed to survive these attempts and establish a solidarity network with other revolutionary movements in the undeveloped world.
Russians never invaded Cuba and said "accept Communism or die."
>soviet puppet state
bullshit.
But even so , the soviet union fell like 28 years ago.
Arguing with commies is a waste of time. They've had the equivalent of a surgical lobotomy and lost a sizable portion of their brain matter.
Want to also add. That Japanese flag is Straw Boss, a notorious underage American leftist weeb.
>PPP
>The SU was never imperial. From 1917 onward, every fucking country on the planet was trying to smother it in the cradle.
Even Mao Zedong said that the USSR was built on the back of tsarist imperialism.
Mao was spooked
I think what happened in Eastern Europe 1945 to 1989 should disprove any notion that Soviet Union wasn't an imperialist country.
Who is this man?
>waaah Nazi collaborators were punished and counter-revolutionary coups were prevented! It's not fair!
the only bad thing I see on the right photo is littering. Try again.
They should have been our territory since the turn of the 20th century.
> Italians
> hardworking
The USSR was not a true socialist state, it was a hegemonistic imperial power that used a false trapping of socialism. For the record, we do not endorse or support what they did in 1968. Stalin's agents also encouraged false socialism during the civil war here.
...
my understanding is that cuba is poor af, but unlike most of south america they actually have a stable government so it seems less poor than it is
t. cuba expert
Sup Forums is banned there? I have never seen the Cuban flag here.
That building is empty
no.
I've seen a few around.
Internet is capitalist and therefore banned
Equatorial is totalitarian as fuck. So is Cuba.
But our government does not?
>Cuba has a GDP (PPP) of $20,646
Nope.
Stalin was the only leader in the world who had your back during the civil war, and you guys still managed to lose it because you were too busy being anarkiddies.

These statements do not compute, my man.
