re: Boy the economy in Cuba is really getting bad

I wonder how it would look if the US didn’t maintain its ridiculous trade embargo?

So you admit, Cuba cannot stand on its own?

It would certainly be better but still bad. I visited Cuba about a dozen years ago. As my plane descended into Havana I noticed what appeared to be a rather nice four lane highway. As I got lower I noticed there were no lane markings and only one vehicle in sight. It was a horse drawn cart. While there, I saw numerous oxen drawn plows.
Damone, You can’t blame that on a US embargo. You just can’t.
I had about a dozen meals there. One thing that stood out is that the fruit was bland. It’s a tropical island and they can’t source fresh fruit. I’m afraid you can’t blame that on the US, either.
The mansions along the ocean front, that used to belong to the rich and powerful, are falling apart. About one in ten had already collapsed. Many of the rest had chunks of concrete missing with exposed reinforcing steel. You see, Damone, you socialists had forced the homeowners to admit peasants from the hills and had taken possession of the houses by the government. With no one owning it, no one maintained it. They are all too far gone to be salvaged.
These houses are microcosms of all of Cuba. Che was in charge of sugar production, and it fell from pre-war levels of 5 to 7 million tons per year to less than half of that. Now it is below half a million tons. There are a lot of customers for sugar in the world, and many are enemies of the United States. I don’t see how you can blame the US for all of this.

Probably like every other communist country in history.

Like any other shithole country not under a US trade embargo. The US embargo impacts only US businesses, not businesses in any other country. That means Cuba can (and does) trade with many other countries so either there's something magical about US goods that no other country in the world can duplicate or the problem is that Cuba's communist government framework is an abject failure. (hint: it's the latter).

Like all of of the British, US and Bahamian islands. Sorta nice neighborhoods around resort areas, nice vacation homes and very poor areas in the mountains that are practically off the grid.

Educate yourself on how these things work.

Cuba will be brought into the fold eventually whether they like it or not. We'll never let China set up shop there.

I wonder how it would look if they abandoned communism .

The United States is the only country with an embargo in place on Cuba. Everybody else in the world is free to trade with them. Cuba's problem is because of Cuba, not the United States.

How about the citizens overthrow the commies running the country into the ground?
The US does not support communism, no matter how many retards like you feel they should.

You seem tot honk that socialism cannot succeed without trade from wealthier capitalist nations. Interesting admission.
