Cuba is a beacon of progress and humanity in the Americas. Fidel Castro was a hero. Also a pro at dodging the CIA's kill squads.
Cuba did some good things - in education, in medicine - but if it's such a wonderful country, why is everything there a decaying flashback to the 1950s where everything is falling apart?
It might be that the capitalist world power next door has had an embargo on them since the 1950s. And look at all they've accomplished despite that. Now imagine what they'd have accomplished had they been allowed to thrive.
