Yes, there is a charm to it.

And, yes, the capitalistic borg will dramatically change Cuba forever, like it always does. People will comment on how much better it is, and others will wish for the good ol days of the past.

The funny thing is what is down there now IS capitalism. Just the fruits of capitalism flash frozen by communism and preserved. All those old ‘quaint’ buildings and cars are the undead corpse of a country in the throws of prosperity when communism killed it.
Anyone thinking, “How nice, Communism makes things look all quint” is an idiot. They preserved all all the old stuff because they couldn’t afford to do anything else.
