  1. No. This is Cuban central planning at its finest. Cuba has no problem getting food aid from the US.

  2.  @ckthegreat100  Cuba is still facing the same PCC central planning.

  3.  @ckthegreat100  <China has a centrally planned economy too, but their economy grew faster than any other in history. C> Only after it toned down the central planning and ramped up the free market. Cuba is poor because of socialism.

  4.  @ckthegreat100  <No free market economy has ever grown as fast China’s communist one.> Easy to do that when starting from rock bottom having nowhere to go but up. <Clearly, it’s success is due to factors other than a free market, > Such as Deng liberalizing the economy and doing away with many of Mao's policies.

  5.  @ckthegreat100  <Cuba has a better healthcare system than USA, with Cubans living longer healthier lives than Americans on average> No it doesn't as the US still outranks it. And Cubans living longer on average has nothing to do with the healthcare system but the vast amounts of working-age people that fled leaving mostly the elderly around.

  6.  @hectorvega621  No. And not even close. Communism is the reason why they're suffering from malnutrition as communism is synonymous with famine.
    1
  7.  @hectorvega621  No. They're suffering from malnutrition thanks to Cuban government restrictions on food production. Never mind the high tariffs and import bans.
    1
  8.  @hectorvega621  Nope. It's the Cuban government against its own people that has lasted 6 decades. Cope, comrade! Interesting how Cuba didn't start suffering until the USSR and Venezuela stopped doing business with them.

  9.  @dancahill9585  Incompetent and malicious.

  10.  @mikenogozones  And the handful of Cubans who do have access to foreign currency.
    1
  11.  @elpepinazo6628  The oligarchy in the form of Miguel Diaz-Canel and the PCC.
    1
  12.  @asmait1088  No. They are struggling because Russia and Venezuela cut off the aid and they have nothing to make up for lack of local industry due to the Cuban government's decimation of private enterprise.
    1
  13.  @oneperson5760  They were struggling to support themselves.
    1
  14.  @tempejkl  What are YOU on about? This is about Cuba's lack of private enterprise due to Castro's price controls and expropriations being the reason why it had to rely on outside aid to support itself.
    1
  15.  @PeterSedesse  Like just about every other socialist West-hating regime.
    1
  16.  @tempejkl  By choice. After all, isn't Cuba self-reliant?
    1
  17.  @Liberalcali  Hubris.
    1
  18.  @enterchannelname5953  LOL. Cuba never produced anything worth that much during the supposed embargo.
    1
  19.  @tempejkl  Castro spent years making it illegal for citizens to produce their own food. Cuba not having any cows that could produce milk was one of the results along with farmers having to hand over some 80% of whatever they produce to the government.
    1
  20. No. That would be the Cuban-styled communism doing that running its natural course.
    1
  21. Free Cuba from the PCC.
    1
  22. Which would be an improvement over the tyranny, poverty and hopelessness that currently sums up life in Cuba.

  23.  @abdulazizclare9545  An ex-pat whom Cuba's economic repression didn't affect.

  24.  @abdulazizclare9545  And you're a total waste of air.

  25.  @tempejkl  < it’s when workers own the means of production and are compensated fairly for their labour.> Like the so-called Kulaks in Lenin's USSR? Or the shopkeepers in Mao's China? Or anyone who looked the slightest bit intelligent in Pol Pot's Cambodia?

  26. But government restrictions made food scarce.
    1
  27.  @alexjeffrey3981  They as in the Cuban government. The same government that made it illegal for citizens to grow their own food.
    1
  28.  @oneperson5760  Just ask a North Korean.
    1
  29. Yet most of those 14 million Brits living in poverty have much better access to food than the average Cuban.
    1
  30. The Cuban government has failed Cuba.
    1
  31.  @tempejkl  Yet Cuba has no problem receiving US remittances.
    1
  32. < cos u want control of your own country > While starving and impoverishing the people in the process like the typical dictatorship.
    1
  33. No. This is the goal of Klaus Schwab's far-left WEF. You will own nothing (like a Cuban) and be happy.

  34. Cuban communism is even more evil.
    1
  35.  @enterchannelname5953  Yet Cuba has no freedom to food because the government and military controls all of the supply barely allowing the citizens to eat but insist it's the US's fault. LOL
    1
  36.  @tempejkl  And for all the talk of inequality. Cuba has such between those who have access to foreign currency and the black market and those who don't.
    1
  37.  @tempejkl  <Communism is when the workers own the means of productions. > As in government bureaucrats.
    1
  38.  @greattune4894  Not really. Cuba's currency is worthless and it doesn't produce anything worth trading to generate the revenue necessary to buy food.
    1
  39. The sanctions are nothing. Cuba's problem is that it lost the foreign aid.
    1
  40. They're not legally allowed to grow their own food.

  41.  @HarrySingh-xk2qj  Cuba has no gas. It's imported from Venezuela.
