Lol, you think greed won't exist under socialism? Greed is why communism fails every time. People are inherently greedy in a world where scarcity exists.
Why yes, greed is exactly why Cuba deserves to be embargoed for all eternity, look how flawed communism is lol haha /s

All I see here is pointing fingers at Cuba and Venezuela failing in places that they were sabotaged by the US, big surprise.
What use is communism when it's so easily foiled by capitalism? Seems like a major flaw.
Luckily, we don't live in a world where scarcity exists, just one with a resource distribution problem.
Wrong, there's a distinct scarcity of logic in your arguments.
"Scarcity is so fundamental to economics that scarce goods are also known as economic goods. In economics, scarce goods are those for which demand would exceed supply at a price of zero." https://www.investopedia.com/terms/s/scarcity.asp
Uh no? I don't think I really implied it wouldn't either, nor even that I'm a socialist tbh
something something manufactured scarcity changes things
