Actually…Communism in Cuba is pretty much how Karl Marx envisioned it was the point I was trying to make…Idiot and moron labels aside. The average Cuban while certainly not rich by any stretch of the imagination is probably healthier than the average American. The industrial/military complex has profited well from how we portrayed ‘communism’.
While attempting to not get too political for the sake of the forum rules Cuba is actually a surprising success in terms of quality of life and equality amongst its citizens even compared with some capitalist western nations let alone countries that experimented with communism.
For instance for Cuba’s oil needs, Cuba sends 20,000 doctors to Venezuela per year to Cuba on a rotation and in exchange they get all the oil they need. This excess in educated professionals shows that Cuba is not the Communist dump it is made out to be, it is a thriving country both socially and economically. Tourism is growing year on year in Cuba despite the restrictions on people from the United States travelling there.
Its decades of Anti-communist propaganda from mostly the United States that paints Cuba as a third world nation with people starving in the streets, while in actual fact it is the reverse that is true, Cubans have good healthcare and education while America has a homeless problem worse than any other nation in the civilized world.
