How did Cuba and Vietnam improve? What was wrong to begin with? What is the difference between communism and socialism?


Those are things you can literally Google.

I visited Cuba recently. It's improving now that they're embracing capitalism, partially.

But I still saw people plowing fields with oxen. I've seen very poor people in developing countries, but I haven't seen that first hand. The level of poverty in Cuba is pretty bad still.


You are so educated, surely you can provide a short summary explaining your views.

Do you think that has anything to do with the US embargo on Cuba? (Y'know, one of those external forces I was talking about originally).
