The only reason it's NOT North Korea is the fact that it "allows" its people to flee to the United States, where by law they may become American citizens.
Cuba has extremely effective propaganda - folks forget that it's actually a dictatorship which severely limits freedom of speech and brutally cracks down on protest. Wikipedia has a great page "Foreign interventions by Cuba."
Not all that much worse than China, but with the misfortune of bordering the US and not being powerful enough to stand without access to regional trade.

North Korea is effectively a caricature of a totalitarian state, ruled by a cartoon villain. Cuba is more like an ordinary country unlucky enough to have a totalitarian government. There are plenty of equally bad countries in the world even today.
