“Flaming”...like the guy calling me a chud?

“Mild critique”, says the poster throwing out chud...

How do you figure such a system would be less centralized?

True from a strictly principled discussion on the pros and cons of various economic philosophies. But in reality you can not say that government and economy are independent of each other as governments dictate economical policies. The names are used in political parties and governments, for crying out loud!

My reply wasn’t about the article. It’s about your interpretation and tone-deaf comment about the article. You’ve reinforced my point:

From what I can find, that is a recent development, decades after the Cold War ended and multinational cooperation expanded in Cuba.

It’s just that when you learn about this history, you may come out of it thinking differently about capitalism’s benefit to the world.

Kim didn’t talk to anyone under Obama, do did he?

You do know that both parties participate in gerrymandering, right?

Cuba has a cheap cancer vaccine?

What I posted was copied and pasted from your first comment. Your prose alluded to nothing else than what I logically laid out in my previous comment.

Your welcome. The 911, and all RR-drive cars for that matter, were/are known to have characteristics that non-experienced drivers did not know how to handle well. And, if you were a real car person, would know that the Corvair was one of the best handling cars Chevrolet made at the time, and it’s propensity to roll…

But the USSR isn’t called the Union of Soviet Capitalist Republics, now was it? Saying so is a non-starter, as you nor anyone can say how Russia would of progressed had the Bolsheviks not won in the revolution.

Socialism and communism are related; or do you claim otherwise?

You mention in your OP about wanting to watch the gameplay this individual is offering. You cite, “So refreshing to see someone use this medium to teach about broad, important issues, especially from an angle so rarely discussed.”

Wow! I would sure love to take my political and historical dogma from a bachelor-level civil engineer! And links to a meme group...so radical! /s

Those “reasons” are the USSR, China, Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia, Venezuela, and Greece.

That “angle” is repeated ad nauseam on this family of blogs daily; hourly, even.

1) You meant to say ‘911s’ instead of Corvair. There’s a reason why 911s are called widowmakers.  Thr 911's fault being more pronounced due to shorter wheelbase and it being a “sporty” car.
