Pre-Castro Cuba had a standard of living among the best in Latin America and better than a few European countries. Castro traded that quality of life for his version of utopia where everyone is poor. Comparing Cuba to Mexico is convenient when it serves your purpose. You seem to ignore the comparison when it comes to civil liberties and freedom of the press. Mexican teachers can protest in the streets without fear of arrest to press their demands for higher salaries. Mexican government workers can publish editorials to seek better retirement benefits. Mexican journalists can openly criticize President Pena-Nieto. How does Cuba compare now?
Cuba is still a third world country….despite the nostalgia of the exiles Cuba in 1958 had a majority of the people malnourished, sick, I don’t see children with parasites or elderly people malnourished in Cuba…oh and now people walk their dogs…..feed them….Viva la revolucion!
Que bobada de comentarios, sea serio…
They also receive more than the Jews in the concentration camps, so we should support the dictatorship. However, it is less than what Cuban African slaves received in colonial times, so I think it will be better to go back to slavery.
