'moral values will not take long to start falling too.'
moral values remain intact if there is GOD in the life. there are many other countries more poor than Cuba but such degradation of morality does not occur.
Castro tried to replace GOD and inflicted extreme pain and hunger on his people. Very sad!

Don't mean to be indelicate... "donkey" shows?
I seem to remember Batista was propped up by gambling and prostitution run by the American Mafia.
High ideals from Fidel and co. getting rid of that lot but then degenerated the country into a crumbling ruin. Ably assisted by the USA's petulant attitude and economic blockade.
Time to call it quits and re-build imho
Socialism means well but you gotta eat too and you can't eat lofty ideals.
Our Gordon Brown has pretty near bankrupted this country with all his socialist nonsense about social engineering etc.

Quote from toc:
'Central planning at its best.'
Thanks for detailed clarification, my information was second hand to begin with. One German pal told me that in West Germany there was a saying 'Communists are the best Capitalist'.........no wonder bribe and corruption culture....they had to make money no matter how! There was more individualism and self thinking in Socialist countries that in the US.
Oh, yes! Well, the only way we could get any goods was the black market. In fact, one of the wonders of the Soviet Union was that it survived so long, but when it fell western economists found out just how large a black market was operating in the USSR. You'll die waiting for government to produce the promised basic necessities. In fact, Gorbachev's attempt at cracking down on the black market had disastrous effects - all goods disappeared off store shelves.
This is something Americans haven't learned yet (well, re-learned, because America was founded on the principles of liberty). The government will not take care of you because it has no incentive to. Government actors are as self-interested as you are but they have more guns.
