    If the US lifted sanctions, the economy would get a lot closer to “fixed”. Pretty ridiculous to act like the economic problems are not a result of the reactionary policies of the capitalist vampires.

        Both can be true.

        If everything is Cuba’s fault, then US can lift sanctions and they’ll continue to be failing. But they won’t do that because Cuba, while awful for speech rights, would be pretty good in most other aspects without the sanctions, and a successful socialist country isn’t allowed to exist.

        You jumped from economy to press freedom.

        Cuba’s economy is entirely because of American sanctions.

        Yeah it turns out when your country is under siege war the government has to restrict some speech to keep the peace. That’s war.
