      @@maiasemanat6221 If you're not writing this while you're fighting for freedom IN CUBA you are full of animal excrement yourself. Being in Miami and throwing strong words out into the void of internet makes you a self-righteous coward. Go to Cuba and make it better if you think it needs to be better. If all of you who whine on the internet went there to fight, Cuba would not have this government but none of you have the appropriate hanging parts for that. This way, you come off as a hypocrite, quite frankly. Say what you will but if Castro had your courage the revolution would never have happened. I truly don't understand how you're not ashamed of yourself.

      There’s no embargo that is enforced. There’s tons and tons of food, money, and materials that come from the US and other countries. Do you know that all the millions of Cubans that have suffered oppression, coercion, slavery, misery, hunger disease all caused by the totalitarian dictatorship Castro regime want that system to end? Did you bother asking the millions that have left Cuba, why they left? Corruption, terrorism, torture thousands of political prisoners. Imprisoned now are the young inteligente hopefuls for a different Cuba and the regime silences them by throwing them in a dungeon and throwing away the key. It’s a despot kingdom, feudal, with slaves. There are a few in power, Castro family, Marrero, Diaz Canel that would rather see their people die, which they are, than relinquish power. A uniparty system that squashes any voices. This is a brutal military communist regime. The propaganda that the Cuban tv spews that they are victims is garbage.
      If you ask a Cuban in they island, they won’t tell you the truth, they are scared. They have to say good things about the government. Ask Cubans outside of Cuba. They are right now being taken to court by the British courts for non payment of loans. They never pay, hence the supposed embargo. They can buy but with cash. The only blockade is the ilegal Cuban government towards its people. They were not elected. Neither was Castro.
      The Cuban people cannot open a business, cannot sell in the street, the farmers cannot sell their vegetables at a fair price, the people cannot own property, they are thrown out of their homes and their property is sold or leased to the hotels like Hotel Meliá and Blue Diamond, owners from Canada and Spain. The Cuban criminal government cry misery and ask for donations and gifts. This is what they live on. Being the victims. They just let go 2 million of Cubans that immigrated through the oceans, and through Nicaragua, walked through Mexico and entered the US border that was wide open, no thanks to Biden. He’s closing and changing some migratory laws now but little too late. It is incredible how many people are so terribly misinformed about this issue. Ask the millions of Cubans that have left and are forever traumatized from the terrible life they had in Cuba.

      @@gregrodriguez714 Cuba was not on par with any first would country, that's just basic history that even hard right historians recognize. Cuba had an extremely severe dictatorship (much more violent than anything the revolution has mutated into over the years), it had racist elites, segregation, non-white people even had severely limited freedoms even freedom of movement in addition to experiencing religious persecution to a degree, women didn't have the right to vote, there was basically no healthcare for the working class even less infrastructure than there is now (if you can believe it, lol) and they had enormously high illiteracy rates. Their governments were regularly dictated from Washington which made them nothing more than a puppet state. Cubans have effectively never experienced democracy. Even the most biased historians don't negate this. Baku features some remarkable architecture by some of the world's best architects, but that don't make Azerbaijan a thriving first world country. I agree with you that it's nice to fantasize that Cuba was once an advanced place because there are pretty buildings everywhere in Havana, but being a brothel for fat Americans, exploiting people of color and giving a safe haven for US mobsters isn't exactly what I think of when I think of a first world country. The "thriving economy" you talk about was exactly what US economy is now, only worse: it's thriving for the few wealthy families but everyone else lives in terrible conditions. Cuba was the West Virginia of its day, only replace coal with sugar cane and sprinkle some tourism in there for good measure. There are many reasons why Cuban economy declined so heavily, mainly because of its dependence on exporting sugar to the US and then subsequent changes in the sugar market that US and other developed countries set in motion in the '60, then because of the embargo which practically makes any effort to build a modern economy impossible (both then and now) and then of course the corruption which remained a constant from before the revolution until today. If you look at the impact of US sanctions on other countries, you'll see that, for example, some former Yugoslav Republics like Serbia are not yet back to the pre-embargo living standards and their embargo lasted only a few years, not 70, like the Cuban embargo. So, while it's really nice to fantasize that one family messed up heaven that Cuba was before 1959, that's a fantasy only someone who likes fairy tales can believe. The Cuban government mismanages the economy and things could marginally improve should they be less corrupt, but there is absolutely no way to build a solid economy if you can't import and export things, so Cuba simply cannot have a good economy until United States decides that the embargo can go away, which isn't going to happen any time soon even if they decide to switch back to free market economy tomorrow, because United States doesn't want Cuba to thrive it only has interest in controlling Cuba and that's about it. Of course, they cannot switch to capitalism and even Raul's reforms that allowed some market economy were only fostering inequality because when a corrupt agency collects taxes they ain't going back to the people. Cuba can do something to connect more to Brazil now that Lula will be back in office and with Argentina, but those are not the major kicks its economy needs. They can ease up on media censorship and get some money from the EU but that is like putting a band aid to fix a gaping bullet wound. AS long as embargo is in place Cuba cannot develop. And the idea that it was developed before is maybe something your grandparents told you. What they didn't tell you is how much they didn't pay or care for their workers.

Yet they make exceptions for officials from the dictatorship who can travel to Europe with ease. As a Cuban I support this visa requirement for Europeans to travel to the US who have visited my country which is under an embargo for violations of human rights! These people are supporting the dictatorship who use that money to sponsor the oppression of the Cuban people.

      It's also not impossible, but it's difficult. My partner and I took his entire family to our summer house in Italy in 2019 and they all got visas because he and I have money. It was difficult, it required a ton of papers but they got it. You need a lawyer and a good tax return but it's possible. And this is not a requirement that is specific to Cuban citizens, it's the same for everyone who needs a visa for EU which is practically everyone not in Europe or US and Canada. So you're not making the case you think you're making.
