The labour minister announces a major reform to the communist country's state-controlled economy.

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.

            If the validity of a viewpoint is dependent on the accomplishments of those who hold it, then the capitalist class must be right, considering that all economic development has happened under capitalist rule, including in the AESC.

            Also what accomplishments have AESC done that capitalist states have not better? In terms of wealth, life expectancy, scientific advancement, etc.

                        It would also have been interesting to see ML counter-arguments to a leftcom position. Unfortunately all we got was PPB and shit-talking. Too bad.

                That kind of rhetoric may be moving, but it should be equally moving for you when Taiwan and SK ended famine and hunger within 2 decades, or when Botswana became of the most developed nations in Africa due to their free market reforms. What's the difference between those countries and China/Cuba other than the red flags and socialist rhetoric? Why not champion those countries and their economic systems for achieving the same thing? You are simply desperate to find a "winning" team and that's why you latch on to these countries.
