You missed the point entirely, not suprising. My point is that both Capatilism and Socialism left to their own devices would collapse. Cuba can call itself whatever it wants. In practice, they do have elements of capitalism and they have been moving closer to that middle ground for decades now. The real world is not awach with only black and white, there are countless shades of gray. . . those who don't recognize nuance are only holding back discourse.

It depends on the humans - you need good people.
