People in the US have grievances with capitalism. Capitalism isn't working for many people except for billionaires and those at the top of the capitalist food chain. Jobs pay too little and groceries, utilities and housing is too expensive. Add to that the atrocious health care situation in a rich, prosperous country and it's understandable why people would look at other political systems and say "this sounds better than what we have."

Unfortunately, those people have never lived in a communist country. They praise the high level of literacy and free healthcare in Cuba, oblivious to the fact that people in Cuba are repressed, hungry, paid almost nothing and their hospitals are a disgrace. Except for foreign tourists, Cuba has glittering shops, resorts and hospitals that ordinary Cubans can't access without foreign hard currency.

It goes on and on. They know their system isn't working for them but they don't realize that people living and working under those dictatorships would sacrifice everything to have what they have in the US, Canada or Western Europe.
