#1 Yes, but the government keeps them poor - this is what leftists fervently wish for us. Of course, the leaders live in luxury, they deserve it.

#2 ...A gentleman of my acquaintance spent a total of nearly six years in the Workers' Paradise. I will never forget him telling me that it can be a capital offense to go fishing there.

#3 I was wondering what the latest twist on "but the workers are SO HAPPY under socialism!" would be. I never thought it would be "because the workers get to eat organic food!"

Keep 'em hungry, keep 'em working their tails off to produce what little food there is, and you don't have to worry about a counterrevolution. They'll be way too exhausted to cause any trouble. Diabolical, true, but as long as the countryside is pretty, the apologists in the West could give a rat's ass.

#5 And they are surrounded by water, yet their fishing industry is also shattered.

I'm sure Fidel eats workers rations.
