Cuba became a country with nothing.
And the citizens were happy to suffer as long as they never rewarded the Capitalist. (East Germany was the same. My aunts mother chose to live in East Germany after the war. My aunt tried to get her out but she didn’t want to leave. She hated the English so.)

They gave up their will and freedom, to have a place to ‘live’, controlled.
The US government would like to have that power over the people.. They would have to break the will of millions. It would take a long time..
BTW.. The Cubans who escaped, started over in the US.. They didn’t capitulated there in Castro land.
A Disney movie, The Lion King.. When the bad lion got control, the land lay desolate.. Burned, and empty of life.
I knew a war bride from Germany. East Germany shot anyone trying to escape the wall or gate.
Freedom is life.
