Hours-long waits for gas and food, crumbling buildings and oppressive government surveillance marked the experience of four Americans who captured their trip to communist Cuba on video.

The members of the student activist group Turning Point USA aim to show Americans what some 60 years of socialism has done for a once-thriving country, reported the Daily Caller.

"Everything you've ever seen about Cuba is a lie," TPUSA's Benny Johnson tells viewers in a video published Monday.

The activists noted that images of Cuba on the internet and in media reports typically do not portray the harsh reality.

Wait. I thought Cuba’s streets were full of perfectly restored 50’s american made cars. I’m confused.

So... Cuba is pretty much like San Fransisco, except maybe fewer homosexuals?

Interesting. I had heard that some people wanted to visit Cuba before it changes, before it becomes more open to the world and more developed for tourism.

Any liberals who wanted to visit the unspoiled Cuba as it is now, will surely be shocked at what they see.

I even heard some old car enthusiasts wanted to visit Cuba to see the old cars. They too will be shocked at rusty old hulks still on the road.

Must be why TP-USA has a problem with it.

The Left will just blame all of that on Global Warming.

I wonder if they ran into Fatso Moore down there for some of that great medical care he’s always bragging about.

Ha, ha, you beat me to it, but nice addition... fewer homosexuals. I can always depend on Freepers to be clever and amusing.

Political activists who commit crimes while protesting can serve out their 90+ day sentences there. Give them a stipend over what the average Cuban gets. Castro can put them to work.

I believe this report to be true. I can’t say how I can but whatever rosy picture fatboy Moore portrays Cuba as is completely wrong.

There is a website called “The real Cuba” which shows the real truth about Havana and the Cuban people. The people that smuggle out the video take huge chances it’s a good website.

I don’t understand the obsession with foreign places.

Hell - If they wanted to see streets like that they could have just gone to San Francisco.
