I don’t think you understand the history of Cuba, communism, capitalism, democracy, poverty, slavery, free markets, sanctions, or the interactions between all these things. Nobody in Cuba “asked for”, what you call “poverty and slavery”. There are over 2 million tourists a year to Cuba. So saying “even the tourists aren’t going any more” is factually incorrect. I’m not sure if numbers going up or down is related to “bread in resorts”. I suspect it isn’t a leading consideration for most. The fastest growing economy of the last few decades is communist, and Vietnam and Laos just plod on, so while I might have sympathy that authoritarianism is a horrible system, I’m not sure I see the picture as bleak as you do. I realise what I am about to ask you will come across as flippant, but I actually sincerely mean it. Could you go and read some books on the topics you think you’re an expert on before posting utter turgid nonsense you read on another forum here? I don’t want to live in a communist state, but I’m not so arrogant as to blame the citizens of a sanctioned authoritarian system for their own misery. Neither should you.
