  As crazy as it sounds, the cuban revolution up until the late 80s. While their communist economic system was far from ideal, it saw significant rising GDP/cap vs the days when farm labor were like slaves and their output redistributed to petty farm masters under Batistas favored rich men.

    Do you have a source for that? Most accounts I've read regarding that period talk about massive decreases in food production after the government took over those industries.
