No, I love Cuba because they had their revolution against US supported dictatorships and never looked back. Instead of being run by thoughtless billionaires, Cuba has directed its efforts to the betterment of its people. The nation is an egalitarian dream come true.
Cuba, only 90 miles away from our precious jewels of unlimited greed, born again lunatics, and golf courses for international grifters, is especially dangerous. If the people of the United States ever realized how corrupt our system really is, Trump's new ballroom might become the setting for a gilded age national guillotine.
"Government of the people, by the people, and for the people," a quote from Abraham Lincoln's famous speech, is a reality in Cuba. There is no billionaire class on the island, nor any right wing Bible thumpers. And Cuba's crooks end up in jail rather than in the presidency.
No, Cuba is not perfect. But compared to the hopelessly corrupt government we have now in our country, it is a haven of justice and humanity.
