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.

        im imagining a world where apps like uber exist but the only cut from the courier's labor is whatever is required to develop and maintain the app/infrastructure. non-profit uber. it would be great, and an excellent service job. drivers could be making bank if companies like grub hub and uber weren't, well, companies

        Ah yes its got a bunch of homeless jobless people without healthcare dying of covid like its capitalist neighbor.

        My real question is.

        If a REAL communist society managed to spring up. How long would the US wait to nuke it? So many leftist people i see dont think about how the US and capital will react (and interact/interfere). Not just physically but with spies and propaganda and embargoes.

        Its almost like we were trained from birth to have some sort of automatic reaction to certain places and groups and leftism doesnt automatically remove brainworms.

          There is plenty of poverty in Cuba and there are plenty of capitalist countries that do far better in terms of healthcare and overall living standards. Of course, it isn't a fair comparison because these countries have gotten much richer via imperialism and, well, not getting embargoed and bullied. However you are explaining why they failed, which doesn't show they didn't fail. They did. It's mostly not their fault, but they did.
