Does comparing Hiroshima and Havana prove that socialism fails?

Compare Hiroshima to Havana. 88 years after an atomic bomb versus 70 years of socialism.

Nope. Also why are you right wingers so damn afraid of it? Capitalism is failing the lower classes. Money isn't "trickling" down. The rich keep getting richer and prices keep going up just to line their pockets even more.

Now I am not saying we should go to a full on socialist society, but we could use a blend that includes Healthcare for all and a few other things. Healthcare for all is actually cheaper and not bankrupting people just for getting sick.

Well, China is socialist and their economy works.
Socialism is just a buzzword. Cuba is a dictatorship with damaged economy and socialist ideology nobody takes seriously.
Ergo. it's not the ideological system but lack of profitable resources and market access.

Don't understand why you say socialism is just a buzzword when it is clearly a political system and also a economy system.

China has done what the other Asian Tigers have done and that is lend money very cheaply and directed industries into specific areas. Japan and the others developed very well till stagflation killed them.

What utter a**holishness. The Castros ruined Cuba's economy (with no little aid from the decades-long American boycott), but the ancestors of the Hiroshima and Nagasaki explosions are dying of radiation-caused diseases four generations after the bombings.

That and the fact that all over the world there is not a single cou try where socialism or communism actually worked
