The United States is facing a historic homelessness crisis, with figures reaching alarming heights. A recent report from Harvard’s Joint Center for Housing Studies reveals that in January of last year, approximately 653,000 Americans reported being homeless in 2023. This figure represents a 12% increase from the previous year, marking the largest single-year surge ever recorded.

      Once they’re free from being choked by the deplorable US empire, absolutely. I grew up in USSR, and I had a great life there until communism was abandoned and I lived through some of the most horrific years under transition to capitalism. The problems Cuba and DPRK have are entirely caused by US trying to destroy them. If you want to see what socialism looks like in a country that US can’t fuck with then look no further than China.

      The fact that you pick on Cuba and DPRK as a form of argument against socialism shows that you’re a deeply unserious person.

            So no answer, you are going with “BUT AMERICA!!”? And if you really want a shitty economy like cuba, watch the video and see why I know a guy that literally floated here on an inner tube.

              I gave you an answer, and the fact that you don’t understand the role US plays in destroying socialism around the world clearly shows that there’s no point trying to have a discussion with you. Maybe spend some time educating yourself instead of trolling on public forums. Bye.

                  LMAO imagine claiming central planning doesn’t work when China exists. Also, I did respond to you, go read the book to see what was done to Venezuela and countries around it. Obviously we both know you’re not going to read it, so keep on believing whatever nonsense you want. Not my job to educate you.

                    China is not central planned, it is central controlled… I agree with the idea that the US has screwed around all around the world and has harmed hundreds of countries, but to blame the failure of every shitty country due to a place thousands of miles away is silly. Literally Venuela is he example where they failed and THEN after they seized property they were embargoed. Linking to a book isnt some kind of proof of anything.
