MSNBC’s O’Donnell: ‘Cuba’s Problem Is Not Too Much Socialism,’ They Have ‘Too Much Dictatorship’

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.

All redistributive systems are inherently authoritarian because someone or something has to do the redistributing and with that comes political power. That is also why those who desire power gravitate toward redistributive systems.

All commie hellholes build walls and/or have kill zones to stop citizens from escaping. Maybe that pretentious fool MSNBC’s O’Donnell can ‘explain’ why that is - inquiring minds and all.
