Honestly, as of right now, not really. I gots the brain fog. But azure scapegoat I think is one decent YouTuber. Noncompete may have a video on Cuba, and I believe prof. Richard Wolff does as well.

I'm not a Marxist, though, so my knowledge of state socialism is cursory other than theory. I'm an anarcho-communist, and my knowledge and interests lie more towards that direction.

This isn't on housing (I really can't remember which video is good on that topic, but I know it's a findable thing), but how elections work in Cuba. Worth watching: https://youtu.be/2aMsi-A56ds?si=SvD6sZeN5L5vvni9

I will say, one of the things to note about state socialist countries, even if you disagree with them, is they're often derided for being authoritarian (and IMHO, they are), but they're always less authoritarian than what came before. The USSR had problems, yeah, but it was leaps and bounds better than czarist Russia. Cuba has some issues, but compared to the open air slave-run casino it was before the revolution, it's a damn sight better. And if you compare it to it's neighbors, it's doing amazingly well, even with the insane embargo. Just something to think about, democracy (in the sense of actual control by the people) has increased in each society that has gone that route. Imagine, then, what a place like the US, with our big talk democratic ideals would look like if it did. Just food for thought.
