    Dead on. Cuba’s stunted economy can at least point to the US trade embargo. What explains the history and current state of Honduras, Guatemala or El Salvador?

      With US history of interfering in Latin America countries I’m sure there’s a link to the CIA, USAID, and the state of those countries economies and governments.

      So communism can only work when it can trade with a free market economy?

      Have you even been to Cuba and talked to the people there? The government buildings are immaculate (better than any other country I’ve been to) while the people live in poverty.

      Ideology doesn’t exempt anyone from the fact that the powerful will live large while the powerless will live in poverty. Same in communism as it is with capitalism.
