Okay, I won't put too much weight on objective facts.

I guess that destroys my argument that there hasn't been a single successful planned economy in history so far.

There is not even such thing. There exists no major economy in modern history which is either 100% planned or 100% "free market" (anarchist).

Well anyways, the objective fact here is that Cuba is objectively richer and more successful than some nearby economies that have had more right wing influence in nearby Central America.

All economies are planned. There are none operating at global scale in the last century+ that have not been planned in myriad ways.
