Cuba is a socialist disaster. There is no better example of the evils of socialism. Regardless of how evil capitalism is, socialism is still more evil. Leftists don't fathom this because they have a fantasy of socialism in their mind.
The self-deception of socialists is that when they are shown the horrors of socialism implemented in the real world, they deny that it is socialism. They play this game endlessly. Nothing is true socialism to them because their fantasy of socialism cannot exist. But they don't understand that because they are ignorant of human nature, and they cannot admit to being wrong. So the delusion of socialism is a zombie that never dies, rising from the grave every full moon.
A socialist is like a child asking for a skunk as a pet. Everyone tells the child that skunks are awful pets. But the child insists that skunks are cute. When he is finally given a skunk he says, "Ewwww... this stinks! This isn't a real skunk! Give me real cute non-stinky skunk." But there is no such thing as a skunk that doesn't stink. A non-stinky skunk is called a cat. Here's a cat. "But the cat bites and scratches!" Yes, but at least it doesn't make your house an unlivable stink-hole.
I have several outstanding books about Cuba in my book list. Read them.
Sometimes the cure is worse than the disease:

Note: This video will not display in some international regions. In that case you can use a VPN to access it, or you can watch these other documentaries on the same topic:
But these are not the same as the original video. The original has nice footage of Solzhenitsyn himself, which I liked.
Youngsters are used to fight wars because their minds are blank slates, easy to indoctrinate with any belief system. There is no limit to what you can indoctrinate the mind with.
A good example of the limitations of rationalism.
See, Tyson thinks he's being clever, rigorous, and logical here. Mr Scientist Man. But he's actually saying biased human slop. God doesn't care about human feelings about hurricanes and volcanoes. This is only a problem for an ego that believes in death. But his big brain has never considered this possibility. And if I told it to him, he would use that big brain to invent some scientific excuse to not take it seriously.
Neil DeGrasse Tyson is a kid who dressed up as a scientist for Halloween and never took off the costume. It's an act. But he thinks it's real.
The only reason Tyson is so clever is because he's never spoken to a person like me. I would demolish his entire worldview. But he seems impressive to laymen who don't understand what science is or any epistemology or ontology.
This is what I mean by self-deception, by Maya.
