From our Bureau of Socialist Disaster Management
It’s not just the fact that half of the residents of Pinar del Rio lack electricity and water, but that the rest of the island — where there is no hurricane damage — is in the same dire situation.
Hurricane Ian has dealt a lethal punch to Castro, Inc.’s electrical grid, which was already in its death throes before the storm hit the western end of the island.
Never mind the tens of thousands of homes that will never be rebuilt, or the scarcity of food and medications, or the four epidemics currently spreading through the island. Never mind. All this suffering is a small price to pay for a socialist paradise.

In the province, not only the recovery of the electrical networks is going slowly. Also the survey of the homes damaged is moving slowly due to the bureaucracy. The authorities themselves have admitted this in their routine meetings to assess the situation in the territories affected by Hurricane Ian in Cuba.

Nothing is too high a price to pay for a hallowed leftist fantasy like Cuba’s “revolutionary” socialist utopia. What ordinary Cubans may think of it is entirely beside the point. What matters is what foreign leftists think, or at least claim to think, since although useful idiots do exist, the willfully blind outnumber them.
