    Someone replying:

    Why would Cuba wanna f*** up what they have in favor of a corporate oligarchy that sucks the populace dry to satiate the greed of a few?

    And someone replying to that:

    That’s what they have now. People are starving don’t have the basic necessities. While the heads of the communist party are millionaires.

    Oh the irony, oh the unbelievable irony.

      But they're not starving. Like my first post here way back pointed out that the average Cuban caloric intake is on par with like Spain and Japan (not as high as the US, but that's a good thing frankly). Their diet breakdown seemed healthier than the US too (at least in the opinion of this vegan). People were starving before the revolution but the communists have addressed that.
