Reply #13: Your flippant remark didn't make any sense. It has no context, nothing to do with reality.

How is praise for Cuba's ability to produce food under a 45+ year old embargo for its people similar to a man beating his wife?

Before the revolution, the poor in Cuba were actually starving. The people who lived dependent on seasonal work, like tobacco, sugar cane, had work only part of the year, yet had no land upon which they could grow their own food. They had no electricity, running water, sewage, education, or medical treatment when sick or injured. A large percentage of them suffered with internal parasites. They did NOT have adequate food, by any means whatsoever.

Their poverty made revolution seem the ONLY alternative, combined with the brutality of the Batista regime.

Haven't you ever bothered to research the subjects you believe you're skilled at babbling about? No time like the present.
