  1. <at least housed.> So is the average squatter in the US. But without basic functioning utilities and the buildings are dilapidated to the point of having to be demolished.

  3.  @camw4747  , <but he liberated cuba from a tyrant.> Only to became a tyrant himself who went on to set the country back.

  4. No. Cuba has been ass fucked by the Castros and the ruling PCC for 60 years.

  5.  @子豪-p5p  Well, it was Castro's fault.

  6. Exactly. Plus, the only times Cuba was affected by the embargo was when the USSR stopped supporting them and collapsed. Ditto for Venezuela. The tourism dried up when COVID struck and their clientele were barred from traveling outside their home countries.

  7. Cuba was one of the last countries to abolish slavery in the Americas. The Cuban government is 91% white. And Afro-Cubans suffer discrimination in silence as they're not allowed to speak out.

  8. Even more terrible what Cuban government repression is continually doing to Cuba. <Maybe it's time to rethink capitalist imperialism?> Cuba sold itself out to communist (Soviet) imperialism.

  9. Better idea: just imagine Cuba without the crippling command economy it has been operating on since 1959.

  10.  @MartinoCoceani  It has nothing to do with it. The embargo is not responsible for the Cuban government decimating local industry rendering it unable to support itself having to rely on outside aid that all but completely dried up.

  11. LOL. Capitalism is the reason why China, South Korea, Singapore, Poland, etc are no longer basket cases.

  12.  @mason-xr5pr  The communist government is the problem. Every other country, even the most capitalist ones, have universal healthcare. Yet few of them subject their people to the level of poverty, despair and tyranny like the Cuban government.

  13. What happened to her husband?

  14. <I doubt a capitalist country would fare any better if so isolated from the world> Like Like the last years of Rhodesia and Apartheid South Africa?

  15.  @alexleibovici4834  Sweden got bankrupted by socialism in the 1970's.

  16.  @vixen878  HELL YES! Capitalist reforms literally saved it from another famine and pending collapse.

  17.  @lvbest18  The only embargo going on is that of the Cuban government against its own people. Never mind the fact that it ran out of Russian aid and Venezuelan oil to keep its non-existent economy afloat.

  18. That didn't stop Cuba from being kept afloat by the USSR, Venezuela, Canada and the US (yes! The US via remittances and food aid).

  19. Cuba was Hawaii 2.0 when Batista ran it.

  20. Cuba is run by white people. It was one of the last countries in the Americas to abolish slavery. It was founded as a Spanish colony.

  21. This is standard communist fare. From riches to rags.

  22. It's amazing how communism can make a capitalist out of people.
    1
  23.  @louissosa1535  No one starved in Cuba under Batista.

  24.  @weneedcriticalthinking  WRONG! It's the Cuban government's command model that is hurting Cuba as it cannot support itself and relies on outside aid that has all but completely dried up. <Cuba has better life expectancy and and birth mortality than most all capitalism Countries in the Americas.> Yet no jobs, no economy, no food and no future.

  25. Namely for regime elites and affiliates.

  26. The Cuban government.

  27.  @camw4747  But it's inadequate hence the need to work a 2nd job.

  28. Exactly. <Born Americans can be so painfully ignorant, it’s a god damn shame. Some of you have no idea the beauty of something so simple as freedom of speech. > Same here in Canada.

  29. Only to subject himself to Soviet imperialism.

  30.  @MartinoCoceani  So it can turn the whole world into Cuba?

  31. End the central planning.
    1
  32. LOL
    1
  33.  @camw4747  Not nearly as brutal as Castro's decimation of private enterprise and local industry and as a consequence over-reliance on Soviet aid.
    1
  34.  @MartinoCoceani  And turn turn the world into an under-developed hellhole Castro made Cuba.

  35. Cuba is run by Caucasian people as well.

  36. Pretty much.

  37.  @total_wokeultrapromax3285  India was socialist for most of its post-independence existence until the early 1990's when it adopted capitalist reforms and opened up the economy as socialism did nothing except stifle it.

  38. Maybe when the Cuban government have the heart to ditch the central planning and adopt some free-market reforms.

  39.  @dutchpuke1633  Like fellow socialist Nicaragua?
