but cuba doesnt have the rapid demographic change the us does, even in an energy descent scenario i dont think we can rely on a common culture binding the populace in facing loss of governmental/infrastructural function with stoicism and neighborly solidarity

I meant contemporaneous with said collapse... in the Cuban case it was 40 years prior
