On Monday’s broadcast of MSNBC’s “The Last Word,” host Lawrence O’Donnell argued that “Cuba’s problem is not too much socialism,” rather it’s that the country is too dictatorial and the dictators who have run the country are economically illiterate.
O’Donnell said, “If the United States had been wise enough to remove the embargo 50 years ago, the Cuban dictatorship would have had no convenient excuse for the deprivations Cuba has suffered. Cuba’s agonies tonight are only partially assignable to the embargo and almost entirely the fault of 60 years of dictatorial government by economic illiterates. Cuba’s problem is not too much socialism, as Republicans would have you believe, it is too much dictatorship, second only to North Korea at this point.

You can’t have socialism without dictatorship, Lawrence.
Good grief.
O’Donnell makes $4m per year. I think he was a writer and producer of The West Wing.
So he has his disproportionate share of resources. But he believes everyone else should live under socialism?
It’s so much easier when you already got your golden ticket.
You cannot have actual socialism without a tyranny of some sort, dictatorships naturally follow socialism.
Brutal.
Stop the hammering!!!
What, precisely, is the difference? He makes a distinction without a difference.
OMG !! if the Castro Regime falls where will the congressional black caucus go for their Commie vacation
This guy is a jackass. Cuba jhas a problem and it is socialism!
They go hand and hand you demented fool.
Exactly. Socialism requires the enforced distribution of wealth and property. Human nature does not lean towards the voluntary abandonment of that which was gained by hard work and determination.
The intellectual dishonesty and down right stupidity of these people is just astounding.
Someone explain to that moron the nature of power.
Problem with MSNBC isn’t too much Liberalism. Its too much Libtardation.
So much is wrong in what he says that it’s hard to know where to begin ...

It’s Lawrence O’Donnell but still….
Huh?
He’s getting old. Just like Biteme.
Probably a senior moment.

Aggressively stupid. Worst kind of stupid.
You just can’t fix stupid!
Perhaps this irrelevant twerp has not noticed the totalitarian inclination of the socialist movement in the US.
