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.

    "Ive read Marx!!" "Also explain why Cuba is capitalist"

    You haven't read Marx. Cuba has wage labor, capital, money, commodity-production, profit, exploitation etc. Worst part is that because of the epic meme of "state ownership=socialism", prices dont even reflect labor content. In capitalism we say that workers dont receive their "full wage" because the capitalist pockets some of it. This only makes sense because the price reflects the labor content of products, due to competition, SNLT is a thing. When prices dont even reflect labor content and is purely fictional like in Cuba or NK, the exploitation is even more opaque than under capitalism. So Cuba moving towards normal capitalism from state capitalism is a good thing.

    It doesnt matter how much charity a govt does or how anti-imperialist they are. Socialism is not defined by those things.

      Turning illiterate peasants into literate workers and providing them with socialist education to produce a class conscious working class does not constitute validly developing socialism which inherently requires a politically conscious working class, apparently.

      Terminal case of infantile disorder.

        Socialism is when you educate people. Also good job ignoring literally everything in that post
