        America: "Lolz! Cuba hasn't imported a new car in 70 years."

        "Well then we will say America has been in existence for 150 years and this is the level she has reached. We have existed not quite 42 years and in another seven years we will be on the same level as America. When we catch you up, in passing you by, we will wave to you. Then if you wish we can stop and say: Please follow up. Plainly speaking, if you want capitalism you can live that way. That is your own affair and doesn't concern us. We can still feel sorry for you but since you don't understand us -- live as you do understand."

        :khrushchev-fist: The quote isn't originally about Cuba, but the idea is the same.
