Can you give me a single state that you consider to be socialist today and that has your support? If not, has there ever been a socialist state that is worthy to be considered as that by you?

Does that mean I have to support shitty states that pretend to care about their own citizens?

No, I was just wondering if you could name any, but it looks like no state so far has been pure and beautiful enough to at least get critical support from you. I don't suppose this will change, idealism is one hell of a drug.

I am sorry, but ethnic cleansings are not good. If I had to pick, I think Cuba has the highest probability of achieving communism. Sadly, I have not had the time to learn all the nuances of Cuban society and political system.

Not sure why you're saying this, did I say they were?

Why? By what metric?

Also be careful out there, people smear Cuba with lies the same way they do to China, Vietnam, DPRK and Lao, some people will also call you a "tankie" for defending the "cuban regime".

Socialist Cuba would not exist today without the support of the Soviets, especially but definitely-not-exclusively Khrushchev, who I hate but need to give credit on this issue and acknowledge is some kind of leftist even if not a Marxist.
