I would say you're right if Castro's circle were not millionaires while the people are starving.
Or if they were transparent on how the Party replaces people and erases them from history.
Or if people in Cuba could express themselves about what worries them, what they don't like, etcetera... freely.
Or if the people could have open access to the Internet, with at least 10 mbps of bandwidth.
And the list goes on. Cuba, Venezuela, Iran and Nicaragua... have been way too violent, way too authoritarian, way too negligent.
If we're gonna criticize something, let's be honest about the lights and the shadows in the whole picture. I'm in Venezuela and what I've seen first band is surely not propaganda.

@soberaim@todon.nl @Peter_Link@expressional.social No one has suggested that the government of Cuba is perfect and ideal. However, if you think would be better under western capitalism, I think you're sadly mistaken. Same holds for Venezuela, which currently seems to be a puppet of the US.
