But to bemoan the Cuban economy today, is to ignore how corrupt and inefficient it was before the revolution.

If we were to squeeze human history of even the last 2400 years into 24 hours, in terms of world history we are less than an hour away from having all been serfs ourselves.

To bemoan Cuba today is to commemorate what happens to a country when its leader's need for narcissistic supply, through the cult of personality, eclipses the greater good of the nation he claims to be saving.

When the Soviet Union collapsed in 1991, Cuba's economy collapsed with it and its people, almost overnight, returned to the serf-class they thought they had escaped.

Cuban workers with socialised medicine cannot be called serfs.

What happens to a country when Trump's need for narcissistic supply, through the cult of personality, eclipses the greater good of the nation he claims to be saving. So Cubans were not serfs 1959-1991? There's a thought.

He is voted out.

The true worth of democracy - accountability and the leader’s limiting of access to raw power.

The Cuban economy was artificially propped up by the USSR. At the price of its greater destiny, of course.

The serf metaphor is to refer to the state of nearly all humankind between 100 and 200 years ago.

What? What? The true patriots held Congress, overcoming the fake gunmen and unelected senators and returned full power to the narcissistic personality and 45th CiC. The corrupt media put up shopped news which misled the entire US Defense effort, costing the great nation its place in history. 49.99% of Freedom Lovers stand ready to be led on.
