Is this what Leftist idiots want?
They should check out this video of which it is only one of life in Cuba. If you thought Mexico was a third world country then Cuba is 4th or 5th world country. The place is falling apart. I thought I was poor growing up in a tenement but I was rich compared to these people. Is this the Utopia the Socialists want for us?

Leftist idiots don't know what they want because all they live for is to be told what to do because they're too lazy to make the effort to manage their lives on their own.

Cuba’s been poor for a long time. As have the other authoritarian communist regimes. Why use scare tactics like those evil regimes instead of honestly debating the democratic socialist countries of Western Europe?

There are no democratic socialist countries of Western Europe. There are social democrat countries in Europe, and led by perhaps the biggest liar of them all, Bernie Sanders, democrats try to play sleight of hand with the terminology in order to deceive.
Social democrats are not socialists, democratic or otherwise. The difference is very simple--socialists of all flavors, including USA democrats, are big on massive redistribution of income and wealth. European social democrats aren't. Their tax and welfare systems are specifically and intentionally designed to provide safety nets without massive redistribution.
I could live with social democrats, but prefer to avoid USA democrats and socialists.

We have a faction of Leftists that are ignorant to what actual socialist dogma produces. They see rainbows and unicorns where famine and oppression exist.

They're too stupid to look at what happened in Venezuela. Once the richest country in South America, now a cesspool of disaster and desperation among the citizens.

It's the same way in Cuba. It used to rival some European countries in wealth, now they look like cesspools about to overflow and you know something else? Kruciff is a Schiffhead through and through. He has the brains of an ostrich.

If a Democrat politician says they should want it, they will want it
I will give them some credit tho, a lot of them really do want it.
