Can I ask a stupid question?

If Cuba is a workers paradise, and communism is such a superior system to organize your society and economy, then why do Obama and others say that our trade embargo with Cuba has harmed the Cuban people so much? Why does Cuba benefit from increased trade with an evil capitalist country such as America, if communism will bury us and all that???
