6:54 - "There's a dichotomy between the people who believe in the free society and the people who believe in a collectivized society."

If that's a dichotomy, it's a false one. It's only through propaganda that people in capitalist countries believe that people in comunist countries are not "free." In fact, Cuban society, for example, has neighborhood councils where everyone makes decisions. Cuba lacks parliamentary elections. So what! They're nothing but a fraud anyway. Look at the US!

@bapyou I have warned

[MrFreeLibertarian]

@bapyou People who are not permitted to leave their country are not free. The so called "free" people of Cuba die every year by the hundreds trying to escape their country at the risk of drowning, exposure to the sun, being eaten by sharks and being imprisoned by a repressive government if they are caught.  Anybody who claims that Cubans are free is simply ignorant.

@RedSkiesAwaitUs There's a reason that there has been no true communist state. It's because of the nature of humans. Everyone in society can't be free to make decisions for the "collective." Of necessity there must be some small group people put in control of planning. Those people will ALWAYS use that power to their advantage and to the advantage of their friends over everyone else. It is basic human nature. True communism can work for fairly small groups but not for entire countries.

@MrFreeLibertarian There has yet to be a true communist state. All attempts of communism have been acted for the purposes of control and power. However, any true democratically communist state (read:not Marxism) would not only succeed, but would thrive. Well, the state wouldn't thrive, for a country to thrive it needs a slave class, but the people would be amongst the happiest in the world.

[MrFreeLibertarian]

@kingnat2 When did anyone care enough to be interested in anything you say?

[kingnat2]

@MrFreeLibertarian when did I say I was a communist?

[MrFreeLibertarian]

@kingnat2 WTF? You make about as much sense as every other communist! You now when you post a comment, it's good to have a coherent point! But whatever, yeah Castro never killed any of his own people and he made good on his promise to have free elections! LOL! Keep that crazy train rolling you loser!

[kingnat2]

@MrFreeLibertarian And they all wear grey and fear Big Brother and then a guy in a mask who talked with lots of v's and alliteration came to save them. You're a fucking moron

@bapyou

It's a real shame the people of Cuba will never see your idiotic comment and learn how amazingly "free" they are since the government has banned the Internet over there long ago.
