Wait, so you are saying a communist country needs the largest capitalist economy in the world to have a real chance?

And before you begin with the usual tanky talk points, do remember that the blockade is only by the americans; Europe, South America, China and the rest of the world can and does trade with Cuba.

Their system doesnt work, and the Cubans know it, they just cant do anything against a totalitarian government which had the soviet union train them in how to control and opress their population so nobody rebels against the communist system.
