See infant mortality rates

Are you attributing reduced infant mortality rate to capitalism? Because then you can look at the same graph for Cuba and also attribute their reduced infant mortality rate to socialism

Show me please

Dead on. Cuba's stunted economy can at least point to the US trade embargo. What explains the history and current state of Honduras, Guatemala or El Salvador?
-
With US history of interfering in Latin America countries I'm sure there's a link to the CIA, USAID, and the state of those countries economies and governments.

The success of capitalism in those places is it's ability to crush socialist movements before they have a chance to work and offload production on their peasant class.
Socialism has never worked because capital has never allowed it. or more correctly socialism has never been allowed to continue working.
it's why America is still so butthurt over Cuba.
Fidel pisses me off so much. He achieved amazing things in the name of prosperity for all the people, then went and killed or imprisoned political opponents and LGBT.
However the continued sanctions against Cuba are blatantly in place to make sure socialism doesn't "work".
Socialism has never worked because dictators and authoritarians take control. It has weak protections against authoritarians, or authoritarians use socialism as a carrot to entice the masses and never delivering on their promise. Same with communism.
Literally. The only reason Cuba hasn't worked as well as it could is because the US has done as much as it possibly can to quash it because Cuba's success doesn't align with the propaganda the US is pushing. Can't have the poors finding out that socialism could work...
