Castro was a mentally ossified fool who caused great harm to come to his people simply because he could not bear to give in to facts that communism has failed an autarky is not possible in our modern world.We are interdependent and seeking to wall off one's self based on a dead ideology bury creativity. Havana is exactly the same as when the americans left, only broken down and showing 60 years of decay. Cubans are poor, struggling for an experience and the chant of the five heroes does not feed them. They need commerce, technology, ability to travel unrestricted, democracy.
Is China communist? Cubans are struggling because of the USA embargo and they understand that that's why they are content.
Why doesn't the USA allow open travel to Cuba?
