Well? What happened? Thought it was a good example? And not another failure in which the people are suffering while the “president” is a rich fuck?

The system overall is good. The structure is more democratic, LGBTQ rights are better protected than the US by law, and social safety nets are generous. Facing temporary economic struggles in the context of a global pandemic compounded by an ongoing fascist trade embargo does not mean the Cuban system overall is bad. As an example, what would you do?

And for those that aren’t aware, this “liberalization” had nothing to do with personal freedoms, it’s talking about the economy. And it started 30 years ago. And it’s getting worse, not better. Any day now, however…

Why would liberalization mean personal freedoms? Cuba already has high levels of personal freedoms, moreso than America, of course I am referring to introducing more Capitalist market reforms.

Either way, Cuba was steadily improving over time, even beating the US in life expectancy, with lower starvation rates. Their latest slump is again due to being hit particularly hard by COVID.
