I had the misfortune of being born in very socialistic USSR, so please, don't preach to about the joys of socialism to me or others who had actually experienced them.

And yes, Cuban economy would have imploded even without sanctions, just like Venezuela's did.

Your personal experience in one (heavily sanctioned and attacked) country doesn't change the facts, and it's weird you think it does.

> yes, Cuban economy would have imploded even without sanctions, just like Venezuela's did.

That would carry more weight - or any weight at all - if you addressed the argument. $100,000 per person is significant.

And using Venezuela to make your point is very silly, considering they were hit with massive sanctions as well.
