indeed. the biggest reason socialism fails is because capitalists keep kneecaping it, not because its a flawed system.

[-] Cowbee@lemmy.ml 19 points 2 days ago

The narrative that socialism has always failed is also wrong, too. Cuba is doing far better than they would have for its people had it remained a sugar colony. China is quickly advancing to the top of the world stage. Socialism does work, despite siege, even if it would do better without it.

Yes it is, public ownership is the principal aspect of the economy and the working class runs the state. By Marxist analysis, it's clearly socialist.

Their scientists also developed a very potent cure for Alzheimers disease named NeuralCIM. Dr. Bill Blanchet, a US doctor is helping US patients to get treatment in Cuba. AFAIK the only western country doing a clinical trial with it is Canada.

Their scientists also developed a very potent cure for Alzheimers disease named NeuralCIM.

Not exactly, NeuralCIM does appear to slow Alzheimers progression, only measuring cognitive scores but it is far from a "cure".

It's being tested at Phase 2 in Canada, with plans for a large phase 3, this time using brain imaging.

How CIM can make this drug for $2.50 a dose is another question for capitalism, because by the time it gets approved in North America, it will cost thousands.

Ironic that the country under siege by the USA has the one drug the US president needs.

"NeuralCIM"

The internet has ruined me

Right now the genocidal blockade is preventing vital cancer-treating medicine from entering Cuba, so while Cuba does have numerous advantages over the US even with its imperialism, right now the people are being starved and cut off of vital necessities.

should have put "fails" in quotations TBF.
