Are you suggesting that corruption wasn't an issue under Batista? Why do you blame communism but not the embargo thats designed to cripple an economy and force "hardships" for your mothers "hardships?"
No. I don't blame comunism, it's just another lie they got told to be exploited. The US embargo also has fault yes but in the end of the day one Cuban has to make the choice of how what they have gets distributed and I assure you none of the castros are skipping a meal. It's not all black or white bloody hell.
No US president has ever missed a meal either. I guess the two systems have a lot in common.
thanks for elaborating.
