Reply #6: So capitalism defeated Cuba's noble experiment? [View All]

[Imajika]

Just like it did the Soviet Union, Eastern Europe, etc, etc?

Some economic system if crappy ole' capitalism can crush it.

Please just stop it. Cuba has been able to trade with plenty of nations. Cuba's problem is the same as every other communist system - it doesn't work. Ever, anywhere. Never has, never will.

Command economies just do not work. Period.

Mixed economies relying on private markets/individual ingenuity and regulated by the government to create a level playing field are the only really competitive systems. Too much government is bad, too little government is bad. Cuba simply had WAY too much government.

Some of you folks really need to let the marxist/leninist thing go. It fails. Utterly.
