And yet, more Cubans want to live in the US than US Americans in Cubahttps://twitter.com/isgoodrum/status/1232006619602415616 …

The embargo is a hoax. Only the USA and tiny few other countries have embargoed Cuba in the last 15 years. The rest of the world is happy to trade with Cuba. Commie economies just suck.

I honestly think that it is impressive that Cuba managed itself relatively well under party rule, and under hostile conditions. It's not like their noncommie neighbors do much better.

see this for a longer view on the impact of commie rule on Cuba: https://www.theglobeandmail.com/report-on-business/rob-commentary/no-fidel-castro-did-not-deliver-a-better-cuba/article33071380/ … The Castros were probably the best of all the commies. Damning with faint praise.

Probably depended on who you were. The biggest evil move of the commies was banning leaving. No longer true, but for a long time they all did. To forbid exit is to suppress the last remnant of freedom. Even Nazis would let you leave though they’d steal your money and property.

Being allowed to leave does not help if you are not allowed to enter elsewhere, of course, which is why there are still people living in 2nd and 3rd world countries. OTOH it's hard to develop or maintain a 2nd world country when you have brain drain.
