Protect Cuba!

You can't judge Cuba on capitalist standards. It's like judging an apple on orange standards: it's "Apples & Oranges."

Even under a crippling 64 year long embargo since Fidel's revolution, Cubans have enjoyed universal housing, education, healthcare, food, transportation, jobs, etc.  Although Western countries provide some of these services to their citizens, none provide all of them like Cuba does. Westerners have the false impression that Cubans live in poverty, but they do not. Since Fidel's revolution, all Cubans have enjoyed:

• Universal Housing: a house they own, by right (see below); 

• Universal Education: Cubans get free K-19 education; 

• Universal Healthcare: Cubans have free healthcare, including dental, vision, hearing, etc.; 

• Universal Food: all Cubans get a food card they can use to purchase groceries each month; 

• Free public transportation and guaranteed jobs.

• Free Enterprise: With all this, Cubans can also open up their own private businesses that simply pay taxes on profits. There are tens of thousands of private busiensses in Cuba, like restaurants, hotels, taxis, hair/nail salons, ice cream parlors, bakeries, tour guides, etc. The only thing Cubans don't have is access to products and materials from foreign companies because of the US embargo. Even shipping and cargo companies can't deliver to Cuba because of the embargo. So when you think of Cuba, don't think of poverty, think of an extreme lack of products because of the embargo. In other words, Cuba's predicament is about "product, not poverty."

Soon after the revolution, Cuba also eliminated illiteracy and high mortality. Five of Cuba's national products remain THE best in the world: cigars, rum, sugar, coffee and tourism. But they can't sell these products on the world market because of the US embargo. Cuban music, art, ballet and opera are world renowned. Cuba is also one of the safest countries in the world, with no cartels, gangs or mafia, and virtually no violent crime. Fidel also eliminated systemic discrimination and homelessness from Cuban society. Cubans also have both freedom of religion and complete separation of religion and state.  Enjoying all of the above are a Cuban people who are more proud, kind, generous, gracious, welcoming, well adjusted and joyful than in any other country I've ever visited. 

Yes, Cuba has long suffered from an unimaginable shortage of products and materials because of the absurd US embargo. But from that have risen a near infinitely creative, ingenuitive, and resilient people. To many, including me, Cuba is the best country they've ever visited. Certainly, the embargo makes everyday life very difficult for Cubans, but lift the embargo, and Cuba will quickly become one of the most prosperous countries in the world. This is what scares the capitalist countries:  a successful socialist country in Latin America can rapidly extend Fidel's beautiful vision across Central and South America and exile Western exploitation operations throughout the Spanish speaking world - just like Fidel's Cuban revolution did. 

¡Viva la revolución de Fidel! 

Patria o Muerte, Venceremos.
