The Cuban commies, like every other commie, has no ‘care’ about feeding the people.

This is true about almost all career politicians. The government is a bureaucratic machine and bureaucracies care only about power and their continued existence.

The above is the reason why governments must be limited in power and scope.

It’s normal. In fact, it’s the central feature of Communism.

It’s just a return to Feudalism.

The Party = The Aristocracy

The Land is owned by the Party. See above for who that is.

Peasants = Proletariat

The Proles still owe a significant fraction of their labor to the Party. See above for who that is.

The Party becomes a hereditary thugocracy. IOW, a “mafia”. Why would they allow anyone else into the gang? You only get jumped in if they think you are useful. Or you’re a better thug then they are.

Nothin’ new under the sun. It was only in America for about 80 years where it was different. Wasn’t bad for the next 50 years - still no tithes to the Big Man - but that ended in 1913, and the regression back to the Old Boss was complete.
