    Anyway, Bernie is not a Communist, no matter how badly you want him to be.
    Bernie stated that he did not mind if people called him a "communist."!

    "I don't mind people coming up and calling me a communist," Sanders said.

    From the article: 'Sanders then shot back, "let's talk about democratic socialism, not communism, Mr. Bloomberg, that's a cheap shot."'

    Health Care in Cuba is “Free” but…

    Summary: a tremendous panic; a hospital bed unnecessarily occupied; my work team going crazy, assuming my tasks; my friends mobilized, keeping me company and taking me food (we already know what to expect from the food at the hospitals in Cuba); a lot of trouble to bathe without a shower, with the toilet stopped up, and with cockroaches roaming around; surrounded by people with breathing infections, who coughed painfully and expectorated constantly; taking the chance of getting infected.

    Everything for a new bad diagnosis.

    What’s the objective then, of the posters reading: “Your health care is free, but it costs…”, which we also see as television spots? Does the fact that it costs nothing to us, but to the State, as they let us know, justify the mistreatment and the wrong diagnosis?

    Sometimes, I wonder how life in Cuba would be, without the subsidies. I know that many people – including me – would see themselves affected, but, for how long? Would the attention to people be different? Could money warrant a treatment worthy of human beings?

    Yup ....Cuba has excellent health care.

    People need to realize that Bernie is not pro-poor, just anti-rich, unless you are a Socialist Millionaire like himself, Castro, and others, and then it’s okay to be rich.

    Fidel Castro’s Net Worth

    https://allthingsfinance.net/fidel-castros-net-worth/

    LOL...And no one can ever get him or his supporters to see the hypocrisy.




    Attachment 14346
    People need to understand that Bernie broke into the millionaire class when his book was successful a couple of years ago. He has worked as one of the poorest senators for decades. he knows what it is to struggle,.
    Fidel is dead. net worth zero.
    Cuba was run as a criminal, enterprise run by outside sources, Americans. Some islands were pineapple plantations run like slavery for decades. The Despot in charge, Batista , worked for himself. he was corrupt and owned by corporations. Fidel was a better option. If we did not try to overthrow them who knows what the relationship would have been. But then we sanctioned them forever.
    Fidel may have had his heart in the right place. He did get the literacy rate to one of the highest. He did get healthcare. He did get free schools.

    18 isn't mid-20s, you fucking idiot. All you had to do was a 5 second search before you posted, yet you're too fucking stupid and lazy to even do that. Typical of you willfully ignorant, dumbfuck RW morons.
