I’ve been to Cuba. It’s exactly what you’d expect from the wonders of communism. Extreme poverty everywhere. The leaders are wealthy and everyone else is poor.

The economic system is important. Socialism or communism will always fail. It always has. It always will. It is a failed system out of the box.

I didn’t say the economic system wasn’t important; rather, that political representation matters more.
You’d never know it, but socialism rarely fails on its own (It can and does, though. Don’t intentionally misinterpret me on this point). Matter of fact, isn’t there still a 60+ year embargo against Cuba? And for what? Castro died several years ago.
It always fails on it’s own.
Why does Cuba need America’s capitalist products if capitalism is bad? They don’t.
The Soviet Union failed, Eastern Europe failed, and every Latin country that switched failed or is in the process of failing.
Our embargo is a scapegoat since most of the world trades with Cuba. There are modern cars there, they just are not American cars.

That’s the relationship between capitalism and socialism, and has been since its inception.
