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.

You know where that will land you on the Chinese Social Scoring Scale right? Very suspicious not having a FB account. They’ll be checking for instagram and twitter as well. You COULD be a subversive. As I apparently am. YIKES! LOL!

I visited Israel last fall and the Palestinian areas of the Gaza Strip/West Bank/Gillian Heights are the same way.

Bethlehem sadly is stacked up with heaps of rotting trash. There is no infrastructure.

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.


The whole point was to take video and look at Cuba - and what years of a socialist dictator will do to a country.

Funny. Just a month ago I thought I'd break down and sign up for FB. I tried to join some local neighborhood groups and they shut down my account unless I would confirm my cell phone number to them. So I did that.
I signed in again and tried to find some friends and family and FB shut down my account and demanded I send them a legal photo ID.

I'm done.
