    Letting Americans travel to Cuba would have done far more to discourage the ideals of communism then the blockade.

      Ok, but why are you putting Cuba’s issues at the feet of the u.s? I get it, I mean Americans destroyed my country and killed my people by funding one side of a proxy war on my country, but the Russians funded the other. But I still blame my country’s leaders for giving in and for being bought. I blame Cuban leaders for the shit show that Cuba became.

      Anyways, I’m not Cuban, but I grew up in a place where communists were every bit as brutal and violent as you get. So I have an aversion to a communist government, despite the good ideas it puts forth on paper.

        I’m not. I’m saying if Americans see the shithole that is Cuba they would think twice about romantizing communism. Its better then it was, but the scars there run deep.

        Cuban leaders are absolutely to blame
