thats not a mix though, it was just a bandaid over capitalism, borrowed from socialistic ideas. the capital accumulating class was never extinguished, eventually leading to the same problems today all over again.

hence why we advocate for a systemic change, if you can't accumulate capital, you can't buy back the system again like it is rn. this is pretty much the crux of the issue here.

also there are more than 1 proposed way to achieve communism, even though i tend to favor socialism.

there's capitalism and its variants (the current system), and there is anti-capitalism in various flavours. (socdem, ML, anarchism)

you can choose your favorite flavour, but its either moving towards capitalism, or moving away from it.

we tried that before though, improving things temporarily, but it will never be permanent until we extinguish the owner class.

Russian and Chinese famines weren't intentional though. In China, because they were literally coming out from being the hungriest country in the planet, and decided to change too much too fast, you can't really turn such a huge country around overnight. In Russia because they needed to collectivize really quickly in preparation for WW2, and the landlords at the time decided to literally burn grain and kill cattle instead of handing their big estates. The numbers offered by western authorities on both are greatly exaggerated without adequate proof.

After the tragic events, both countries saw unprecedented improvements in quality of life, nutrition and life expectancy. These events didn't really repeat after they stabilized, something that can't be said of most capitalist countries to this day.

In capitalism the owner class needs people to be in despair for them to be willing to work such shitty, desperate jobs. Millions of poor and starving people have to exist either in your own country, or elsewhere in a neocolony for one billionaire to be able to steal so much accumulated capital to himself. It's common to see them taking decisions that help with their accumulation at the expense of everyone else (eg. Oil companies covering up climate change). We are already making more food than we would need to be able to feed everyone fairly, yet capitalist countries don't.

He did adopt a tougher stance, because of the looming world war. However, Stalin wasnt nearly as much of a tyrant the west paints him to be. Not to the honest working class.

Which is probably why they often confuse Socialism with Social Democracy.

shock therapy was not a socialist, but a capitalist plan after the ussr ended.

im on latin america and despite being bad over here, i'm a bit skeptical on this one. the blockade is currently making sure cuba can't even get basic medication in sufficient quantities.

i'd say its safer to say they are much better in some aspects, the ones they can control.

Socialism is usually built from the remains of a previous brutal regime. Starvation doesn't end overnight.

This is the case for both Russia and China. After stabilizing they had an unprecedented improvement in nutrition, longevity and such.

The same can't be said for the vast majority of capitalist states, who still experience starvation despite being perfectly capable of feeding everyone.

when it comes to inequality i can agree its probably among the best, if not the best.

but despite efforts to provide it, they don't always get basic necessities because of the embargo. there is a not insignificant amount of poverty in cuba too.

but im all ears if you have a usable alternative for a foss phone.
