Under developed socialism, stealing and black market become the means of survival.
Democracy is incompatible with central planning and interferes with Politburo’s digestive issues.

Your post 1 made me laugh at out loud and I had to explain to my wife what was so funny. You made my day.
Migrant workers that supported the revolution? What the F are you snoking? Cuba was a professional country where the middle class fought a revolution to topple a dictator only to have Castro take over and and announce he was communist after Kennedy sold Cuba out to the Rusians you dumb F.
Yep. After they went to a hotel to secretly use the Internet reserved only for guests - to download plans for boatbuilding.
