I mean sure, if the "failed policies" are opposing US imperialism in Latin America, inviting a huge backlash of sanctions, several US-sponsored coups, etc.

It’s real chutzpah to complain about coup attempts against a regime that came to power in a coup.

What are you talking about? Chavez and the PSUV came to power in a democratic election in 1998.

Cuba has been under sanctions for over 50 years.

Sanctions affect your level of wealth, sanctions have nothing to do with the mismanagement of the economy.

The point is hyperinflation is not caused by sanctions. Other problems? of course.
