"let's compare the US to cuba, an actual planned economy.
cuba is the poorest nation in south america, they are under a blockade by the US and can only trade with a handful of countries and have few natural resources of their own.
the US is the richest nation in the world and trades with most of the world, and is spoiled with natural resources.
Cuba has:
- the highest lifespan in the western hemisphere, beating the USA.
- Universal healthcare for all citizens
- Universal education for all citizens, all citizens can read.
- affordable housing for all citizens
- government provided food and affordable food for all citizens
- public transportation in major areas
- guaranteed employment for all citizens
- the highest standard of living of all south american countries
- fought off a US invasion
the USA has:
- a lower lifespan than the poorest country in the western hemisphere, despite being the richest country in the western hemisphere.
- 30 million people with no access to healthcare and tens of millions more with incomplete coverage and/or medical debts and bankruptcies.
- a failing public education system being eaten away by for-profit education, roughly 1-3% of population illiterate.
- a nationwide housing crisis
- government food assistance because the private market can't meet people's basic needs
- public transportation in new york city, a couple of other cities. also has a shitty bus system.
- Unemployed people, 4 - 12% on average. (i.e. at any one time the US has more desperate people broken by it's terrible system than Cuba has people at all)
- highest standard of living in western hemisphere for the top 25%, bottom 25% live worse than cubans. middle 50% increasingly worse off.
- Invades other countries for oil in order to sustain it's economy, once lost a war to vietnam, an impoverished country in the jungle."
