So much for the Communist Party's worker paradise

Workers' paradises have always been the worst polluters because the polluters, the smelters, the coal/nuclear power plants, the manufacturers, all are owned by the people...the government. Unlike relatively free economies, the government conspires with polluters, rather than regulates them.

It was so in the USSR; it was so in Eastern Europe; so it is in China. If Cuba did anything else beside tobacco, cane, and bananas, it would be a major polluter, I am sure.

Cuba has destroyed their soil with chemical pollution. That's why Cuban cigars are now crap. They have hired a Spanish company to repair the damage, but it will take decades.
