'Best argument against socialism? Me.' Marina Medvin's powerful thread about socialism versus capitalism an absolute must-read

This thread from Marina Medvin as we watch Cubans protest for their freedom is truly a must-read.

Hey, that’s the headline.

Ahem.

Someone who knows the dangers of socialism (communism) and how absolutely life-changing capitalism is for anyone who grows up in a socialist/communist country is definitely more of an expert than bureaucrats in DC telling us this is a peaceful protest in Cuba over rising COVID cases and not to worry, they are ‘strongly condemning’ any violence against protesters.

Case in point:

This editor’s heart broke reading this tweet.

And her short but impactful thread:

Socialism is waiting in line for bread and getting teeth drilled without Novocain because pain killers are a luxury.

Capitalism is photos in a grocery store filled with food and fluoride toothpaste. https://t.co/gGfeU9chEg pic.twitter.com/38CoaIGmrS

But you know, capitalism is evil or something. Our friends in groups like Black Lives Matter say so.

I had my head sewn together after a playground accident —without any painkillers. I had my teeth drilled — without any painkillers. I was 6 and 7.

But hey, you spoiled AF weak b!tch boy deformities tell me you know better than I about the virtues of socialized medicine.
