Before Fidel Castro’s socialist revolution, Havana, Cuba used to be a beautiful modern city and thriving metropolis. But after 64 years of communism, it has been reduced to ruins. Human beings actually live here.

But it’s OK, because Cubans have the “revolution,” not to mention “free” health care (of sorts).
I suppose some people may be stupid enough to buy that, but most who do are not stupid, just SOBs.
Yes, but the American Mainstream Media is constantly waxing poetic about how fidel castro saved Havana from ruin because evil dastardly Fulgencio Batista was [according to the regime propagandists] going to tear down all of the old buildings and built casinos. Little does it matter that castro allowed all of the buildings to fall apart while he funneled the billions he was getting from the Soviet Union into those crazy wars in Central and South American and Africa that fed his megalomania and furthered the dictates of Soviet imperialism. Even now when they could restore those buildings, they are instead building new hotels all over Havana so that the nomenclature can line their pockets with even more money.
But, don’t ask the NY Times or CNN, etc…they’ll say its the American embargo.
