Witless - Chocura knows the truth. If you want more proof, look to Costa Rica which boasts 100% literacy. School is on the State; right up to college. It is a Socialist Democracy. I have done much reading on it. (In 1949 they disbanded their military and turned all the barracks into classrooms. Now that's the way to do things, I'd say. In addition, they are totally rid of fossil fuels.
You have switched subjects from Cuba to Costa Rica. I still hold to my original point. Cuba may have close to 100 % literacy, but at what level? If you wish to compare Costa Rica to Cuba and throw in military considerations, I notice that Cuba has not disbanded it's military. If we wish to look at Socialist paradises my favorite is Venezuela. I do not know what fossil fuels has to do with literacy.
