Again, it was terrible quality of life before the liberalization which started 30 years ago, because that’s why it started, and it’s gotten worse, not better since. Stop trying to blame it on the pandemic, it was bad before it as I’ve already said and you’ve ignored.

You’re trusting far-right think-tanks on Communist countries? Lmao.

As someone whose family lived under a similar regime I can tell you one thing: quality of life is more than stats. Stats can be good while real quality of life is shit. Which is what appears to be happening there. Which is what usually(probably always?) happens under authoritarian regimes.

Quality of Life must be compared by metrics. Additionally, Cuba is more democratic than the US and similar western countries, and your love of far-right think-tanks doesn’t do you any favors.

I’m just quoting Wikipedia. Not sure how that’s making me a lover of far right think tanks. You’re free to edit it and provide sources for it and it’ll be changed if it’s wrong.

And yes, metrics such as 7/10 people can’t afford food. Not metrics such as “the country with only one political party is more democratic than western countries”.

Anyway, we’re back to square one. Me quoting sources, you dismissing them and not providing anything in return. Typical. Anyway, nobody’s gonna read this far down anyway, so I’m out. Or storming off, as you like to put it. Mark another victory in your calendar. xD

  You’re quoting references to Far-Right think tanks as referenced on Wikipedia, don’t white-wash it.

  Yes, metrics change over time. Cubans on average are more food secure than US citizens over the last few decades, only recently has this changed. Additionally, Cuba is indeed more democratic, if you think democracy is measured by party and not by what and who you can vote on, you’re woefully misinformed.

  Gotcha, will do. Victory number 2 against you.
