Not just voted on, but helped directly write through their participation in the thousands of local meetings by which the family code was formed as a text. This is a kind of strong democratic participation that liberals seem literally incapable of imagining

We don't even have to go there, just looking at the name, it seems to rank how "free" the market is, because that's all that matters to them libs. Democracy is when invisible hands or something.

Instead of answering your question about how America, the richest country on earth isnt able to adopt these social policies while Cuba can.
I will instead call Cuba authoritarian and an oppressive autocracy and not elaborate any further.
