No, it’s that saying one place is worse doesn’t make it so.

Correct, you saying Cuba is worse doesn’t make it so.

Human development index and quality of life studies put the US ahead of Cuba

“Rich country good, poor country bad”

One of the problems with enacting good and lasting change in the western world is that life is pretty darn good on the whole.

Yes, because the West ruthlessly exploits the global south to prop of it’s own standards of living. This is why serious socialist revolutions have mostly only occurred in the Global South.

It could be a lot better, but just shouting that the US is bad is mindless propagada. Be better than that.

Real bad faith framing of your opponents argument there; be better than that.
