A place to discuss pro-conservative stuff

  1. Be excellent to each other. Civility, No Racism, No Bigotry, No Slurs, No calls to violences, No namecalling, All that good stuff, follow lemm.ee's rules, follow the rules of your instance, etc.

  2. We are a Pro-Conservative forum. Posts must have a clear pro-conservative, or anti left-wing bias. We are interested in promoting conservatism and discussing things that might get ignored elsewhere. All sources are acceptable, however reputable sources with a reputation for factual reporting are preferred.

  3. Dissent is allowed in the comments, but try to be constructive; if you do not agree, then provide a reason which is backed up by references or a reasonable alternative interpretation of the provided facts. That means the left wing is welcome to state their opinions, but please keep it in good faith.

A polite request, not a rule, if you feel the need to report a comment, please don't reply to it.

I’ve been to Cuba. It’s exactly what you’d expect from the wonders of communism. Extreme poverty everywhere. The leaders are wealthy and everyone else is poor.

K.

I didn't say the economic system wasn't important; rather, that political representation matters more.

You'd never know it, but socialism rarely fails on its own (It can and does, though. Don't intentionally misinterpret me on this point). Matter of fact, isn't there still a 60+ year embargo against Cuba? And for what? Castro died several years ago.

It always fails on it's own.

Why does Cuba need America's capitalist products if capitalism is bad? They don't.

The Soviet Union failed, Eastern Europe failed, and every Latin country that switched failed or is in the process of failing.

Our embargo is a scapegoat since most of the world trades with Cuba. There are modern cars there, they just are not American cars.
