Cuba is not fully free to trade with countries that also trade with the US.

But barring luxury and commercial goods what's you're definition of failure? Cuba is doing great in plenty of areas where Haiti or Jamaca aren't

You also conspicuously failed to mention North Korea, though I realize it's inconvenient to your narrative.

Oh yes, let's do dig into the modern history of Korea as it relates to western imperialism, that'll definitely support whatever argument it is you're trying to make

Cuba has better transgender health care than 99% of the western world and 100f of Europe & their food and culture is also better than Europe's

Also all the LGBT protections and more that we in the US are about to lose just got codified into their actual constitution via direct democracy

They're going to come back with some no true Scotsman argument because people like this aren't satisfied with actual attempts at building things but with purity of theory

The same Cat5 that wiped out Puerto Rico also hit the north of Cuba, but Cuba was back up and fully functional in something like 4 days

A lot of value for shareholders was made in distributing hurricane aid to middle men and rent seekers here tho so who can say if it's good or bad

Cigars smell like burning rear end hair and give you cancer. Smoking one in the vicinity of any other organism is profoundly anti-social.

I'm sure they'd take you with your well documented support for the regime, just print out your posting history and attach it to your application. Think of the benefits, you'd live in a real socialist paradise, and you wouldn't have this forum or the rest of the internet to distract you from building communism. I think you should go for it, don't let naysayers stop you from following your dreams. If you set up a GoFundMe I'm sure C-SPAM will be happy to help you finance the move.

I've also come to realize I know hardly anything about North Korea, but given how hard I've been propagandized about that country for my entire life by western media, they're probably building communism.
yeah I really wonder how bad it is, like, it's definitely bad in that the defectors all risked their lives to leave, but I have no idea how accurate every single thing I've ever heard is

You should go check it out and report back, sounds like another good goon project. In fact, if we set up a general fund to send C-SPAM posters to Cuba and North Korea I bet we could get support from all over the forums.

All I know is that every one of those defection story books is the same story about an infinitely competent guy who got tired of being taken advantage of by The State to do <totally ahistorical thing boomers are convinced the USSR or China did> but he lifted him up by his bootstraps and now he's rich off the proceeds of this book that appeared in every western recommended list overnight. Like scene for scene remakes of every generic John Soldierguy book named In The Lion's Lair: The Test of Patriotism or similar

Like it's so obviously entirely fake that if anything in those books is actually real it's actively harmful to addressing them, which we obviously don't want to do because the whole point of sanctions is to kill the vulnerable and young to encourage destabilizing forces internally.
