Oligarchism, until the system resets itself.

The Castros ended up owning something like 80% of Cuba.
And the Castro cancer has metastasized in Canada. (Cubanada?)
The Cuban commies, like every other commie, has no ‘care’ about feeding the people. People are just more pawns in the game of control.
In Nicaragua, before the Sandinista Commies took power, there were thriving farmers markets everywhere. In small towns and large cities, the farmers and ranchers would bring their products to sell and barter. The day after the commies took power, no farmer markets were allowed. All the food became the people’s food, and strict rationing was instituted.
In Cuba, the farmers are not allowed to harvest. They have to wait for the government flunkies to arrive. Crops can sit and rot until someone arrives.
Also in Cuba, no one is allowed to own a boat. Not just because many would leave. All around the island is an ocean teeming with life. They are not allowed to fish in the waters off the coast.
It has been this way since the commies took over.
It's genetic. That began when little Fidel was conceived inside Margaret Trudeau.
Communist regimes have always been a mafia. Just because they wrap themselves in slogans doesn’t mean it isn’t naked coercion.
Right...
Because, who would notice that some Hispanic guy made 45 USA-Cuba round trips in ten months?
In Việt Nam after the old revolutionaries died off the Party seems to have become something like an enlightened Mafia and has got off the people’s backs pretty much thanks in part to the pressure to ease exerted by Clinton and the Bushes. When we have Democrats in control here things deteriorate some in Việt Nam. With Mr. Biden at the top here Vietnamese government has to make nice with the Chinese monster. Vietnamese people see all that and those that immigrate to the US, like the Cubans, rarely vote Democrat.
A Cuban emigre I know describes the people there today as degraded by fear, repression, corruption, dire poverty, and lack of religion. His estimate was that even if Cuba threw off the communists, it would take a generation and lots of outside help before the country began to recover its sense of how a normal society functions.
I knew quite a few Vietnamese in California. They all hated the commies.
They forgot to make their contribution to Biden and the Dem party or they would have been ignored.
The point in communism when you run out of other peoples’ money.
Thanks for posting.
The drug cartels have put the commies out of business.
*I knew quite a few Vietnamese in California. They all hated the commies.*
A few of them run for office as democrats, the party that sold them down the river.
Faces the most disastrous economic collapse in history.
Cuba following the Biden plan.
