    Remember when Castro got desperate in the 90s and tried to sell people a bunch of golf courts? Cuba is better than most but let's be honest, right now it is overreliant on Canadian tourism and simply wishes to become either the next Burma or the next Vietnam depending on how much the Americans force them to rely on chinese trade.

      Oh, they're not perfect, absolutely. But seige socialism is a bitch to deal with.
