Cuba has Marxism/Leninism, not socialism. Not really a good example to pick anyway as it would probably be doing a lot better without crippling US sanctions too. It's like saying democracy is pointless because of how well it's gone in Iraq.

If you want a better but not perfect example, the politics of Western Europe (I don't mean godawful trout like the UK by the way. I mean Scandinavia, Switzerland, Austria, et cetera) are much more socialist than America, and it's these countries that have a higher standard of life for its citizens than in the US. Free healthcare should be an inalienable right in any and every developed country and it baffles me that the USA doesn't have that.

And even if you don't agree with that, well:



I mean, come on now.

God knows this country tries to emulate America as much as it can so sort it out for our benefit if not yours. 20 is not enough damnit
