Because Fidel is dead, and his Son is Weak.

I am wondering what will happen when Kim Jung passes.

It will be interesting to see if we get a female leader, and how that works out.

The one who is weak is Diaz-Canel, that’s why they pulled Raul back in. Once Raul dies, all bets are off.

2 generations of stagnation has got to make these kids wonder why they put up with it. They have enough exposure to the world to know that It could be 1000% better if they shed the shackles of communism.

Maybe they are sick of being hungry on an island that essentially a huge farm with a year-round growing season?

Providing a naval base to China would let them all live like kings!
Well, no. Only the rulers.

“... a collapsing health system;”

Could someone please ask that fat turd Michael Moore to once again explain how Cuba’s healthcare system is far superior to what we have in the US?

Quite a few American youth are revolting. Have you had to stand next to one lately?

California has 840 miles of so so beach. Cuba has 3500 miles of Caribbean type beach. They have oil, and as you said, a permanent growing season. They have ports. All 90 miles from Florida.

They should be -fabulously- wealthy.

And would be in one generation if they were a democracy.

It’s before my time to recall , but I understand Cuba had a major tourist industry before Castro came along. The potential is certainly there, to revive such business, if only Cuba was not communist.

If Socialism is so bad, would we be implementing it here?

Fidel's Grave. It does have a sort of Flintstone's look to it. Yabba Dabda Do FU.

There was certainly a lot of inequality and corruption before Castro as well as even more so after Castro but before the leftist darling took over, Cuba had the third richest economy per capita in the western Hemisphere. Sixty two years later, it is the second poorest country per capita in the Western Hemisphere, only slightly ahead of Haiti.
