We're talking war, genocide, corporate crimes, economic collapses caused by Wall Street and you're talking about Ice Cream. You might need to look at your priorities.

Dominican Republic, Haiti, and Nicaragua are the way they are because of US intervention (and Canada and France), especially Haiti.

As for Cuba, you mean 100% literacy, healthcare, and housing is a bad thing? Compared to what the US offers, that would be heaven.

here's your healthcare https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pKkk8rGFB8o

here's your education https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GGDB31imPUc

and here's your free housing https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V3Wg3Gwt_fY

obviously you have fallen for the leftist/communist propaganda.wake up because there's nothing free.besides the cuban people have to work for free for the govt since they are teens (usually they were sent to cut out sugar cane for community services and that was like 12-15 hrs a day) then they had to enlist in the CDR which was a community spy neighborhood program and then they had to go the political assemblies of the communist party unless branded a counter revolutionary or a traitor.oh and also you cant criticize your own govt and leaders because there is jail time if you do so.there also a law that the govt can take you to a labor camp if you are caught of doing nothing "ley de peligrosidad"

You've never been to Cuba, have you? Like all countries it has problems but I can assure you it is a much better place than it was when it was under US control. Much much better, and everyone knows it, that's why they have lasted so long and have been so influential around the world.

Advice, learn your history and look up the stats in Cuba, then you will at least be able to make some kind of valid argument for change than linking to random videos, one of which is from "The Foundation for Human Rights in Cuba" the main backers of which I'm assuming are the CIA and the cartels from Miami.

hey i tell you a secret, dont tell anybody,ok? i was born there and to this day i still remember how fucking bad things were there.were people have to make long lines because of the rationed food,the constant government propaganda and the cult of personality along many other privations that people like you still dont know because what you were taught was at a fucking youtube video or a college or some other liberal medium.the CIA are not angels but the KGB now the FSB are even worse.there's no good vs bad guys when it comes to intelligence services because they often operate independent of their govts...you are a communist sympathizer and its a shame because communism destroy families and nations and just look at Venezuela you cant blame the embargo or the CIA or miami for the massive corruption and theft that the Communists have done to that southern american country

again,wake the fuck up

communist sympathizer

Really! Wtf! So you think just because I'm not with you I'm against you? What are we, going back to that age again.

As for the KGb and what not, Russia abandoned Cuba in the early 90's, that's over 25 years ago. Why hasn't the CIA done the same? Leave Cubans alone, stop trying to take over their country, and then see what happens.

have cubans left their revolutionary ambitions for latin america with the support of the chavist regime in venezuela,the ortega's nicaraguan govt,the correa's leftist govt of ecuador,bolivia etc etc etc?you dont know anything how the cubans even got in to angola to propel communism there.face it communism does not work unless you are part of the inner elite that has its perks and owns the state. and yes if you dont see this you are a communist sympathizer

Dude, Cuba only took on the communist title to get support from Russia. Please learn the history of that country. After the revolution the first country that Castro visited was the United States. Once the US told him that they wanted to rule Cuba again and that they wanted the gangsters and banksters back Castro flew directly to Russia from the US. That's when he took on the communist name. Cuba is socialist, not communist.

lmao cuba is communist modeled after the marxist leninist fashion.i agree even castro was not a communist but he adopted communism because the gangsters at the communist party were the ideal people to get support from for his revolution.yes its true he visited the us but dont you think that he was/is a double agent? like the other crackpot dictators of latin america?
