What is keeping Cuba poor is not US sanctions. It is the communist government. Controlled economies simply do not work and pretending that a central government can accomplish what the free market can has been historically proven false. The USSR collapsed because it could not provide consumer goods to the masses. It had to buy food from the US while controlling one of the world’s richest farmlands, the Russian steppe. China established capitalist reforms and became rich after a man-made famine which killed tens of millions of people. The best thing that could happen to Cuba is the commies go away. The economic philosophy you support is morally and economically repugnant.

The idea that the Epstein regime is not at fault and not trying to strangle Cuba is beyond ridiculous. Only hard-core MAGA types still believe this. The whole world is opposed to the US embargo. I doubt that commenter above ‘curmdgeon’ listened to the video. Cuba has survived the US war for so long because of its collective spirit and way or organizing.

The oligarch “controlled economy,” in the US “simply does not work,” for the people, as speakers have pointed out.

@raoulchristensen5279 The US is the richest country in the world. It will stay the richest country in the world as long as we constrain our own government to allow the free market to grow. Your complaints about oligarchs is based on jealousy. You want their money for your benefit. You don’t realize that seizing that money will destroy the free market that makes us all wealthy. You are an economic simpleton, that’s why you support communism.
