  2.  @TrapBoiFuse561  Socialism doesn't work. Even in countries that were not under sanctions like Tanzania, Ethiopia and all of Eastern Europe.

  3. <We have universal free health care.> But a woefully inefficient and mediocre one at that. <Communism can work well in a country with lots in natrual resources> Like Ethiopia?

  7.  @jimstan1795  But Cuba was a top 5 country in the Americas under Batista. Segregation is still practiced in Cuba. And White Cubans still live better than the Black and Brown Cubans thanks to remittances.

  16.  @AngelSanchez-zp7uj  But now is a whorehouse for Canadian and Western European tourists while living off of remittances from the Cubans that fled to the US.

  17. No. It is due to socialism. US sanctions and blockades are not responsible for Castro seizing and destroying private enterprise and domestic production with price controls, wholesale nationalizations and replacing the competent and productive with government stooges.
