It is easy to ask for proof of something that would take a whole library of books to respond to. What is it that YOU think Cuba is like? What books have you read on the subject? Have you been there and seen for yourself? These are not hidden or secret things. For example, it is just a fact that Castro raised Cuban literacy from very low to higher than the literacy rate in America in just a couple of generations. The same thing happened in Venezuela under Chavez. It is just a fact that there is no homelessness in either country. In fact, several journalists who went down to VZ to report when Trump was doing his damnedest to overthrow Maduro remarked that when they returned to NY it was a jolt to see people eating out of dumpsters here. They had seen nothing like that in Caracas. It is always amazing to me that both Democrats and Republicans are perfectly willing to castigate the media for dishonesty for some part of the government narrative, but not all of it. Democrats see some things as dishonest, and Republicans see other things as dishonest, but neither seem to realize that it's ALL lies. You literally cannot read or watch a corporate news source in America and believe ANYthing that is said to you. The CIA vowed to completely control the media in the 1980s, and they have succeeded. I want you to consider how much your impressions about Cuba have been shaped by the media, and how much of it has been shaped by what YOU YOURSELF know.
Thanks for your opinion - without any proof/data to support your claims. I can see this is a waste of my time. Cheers.
