Given that pre-revolution Cuba was not exactly democratic either, and had insane concentration of wealth, it's arguable whether that stolen property can be considered legitimately owned in the first place. A government of robbers announcing that what they robbed is legitimately owned doesn't make it so.

(The same, of course, applies to the post-revolution government - I'm not trying to claim that it's somehow better.)

Cuba in the 50s was the 3nd wealthies country in Hispanic America. I think it was after Argentina, not sure if Venezuela. Now it is in the poor side of things, and Hispanic America is not too wealthy...

A country can be wealthy as a whole while still having a large part of the population leaving in squalor if wealth inequality is great enough.

Or they can have most of the population in really deplorable conditions, which is what happened after the revolution.
