You're amusing. You tout the glories of Socialism and then turn around and admit that your wealthy family fled Cuba when the Communists took over? Your family didn't leave Cuba because of any sanctions imposed on it by the US...they left there because Castro was seizing property and wealth and your grandfather had enough common sense to see where that was heading. As for what I know about Cuba? I live in Florida. I literally have dozens of Cuban friends. Friends that are as anti Communist as anyone in the country BECAUSE they grew up in Cuba under Communism and know how awful it is!

Response:
How does that in any way support your foolish assertion that US sanctions don't hurt the Cuban people?

Response:
Capitalists should've treated their workers better and cared more for the Cuban working class. American companies were also in control of Cuba's major industries and resources. It was essentially a colony of the United States. The Cuban aristocracy was in bed with American imperialists. My father and grandfather were both educated and groomed in the United States.

Response:
I was born and raised in Miami, Florida. The people you're referring to, grew up in Cuba, under American sanctions. Cuba is a country under the heel of the United States, economically and otherwise. About a year ago Marco Rubio and other conservative Republican politicians were threatening to invade Cuba. Put boots on the ground in Havana. You don't have much of an argument against socialism with respect to its efficacy and effectiveness, if you're sanctioning socialist countries and threatening them with war.
