  • this report is utter bullshit people - find out the truth , this video is not the truth about Cuba.

  • unfair that this vid seems to compare Cuba's wealth situation to western nations like USA and Britain, when Cuba was in such a bad situation before Fidel's movement.

  • I can recall from my own country. When we were Socialistic in 1970s, I made only 500 bucks but school was free. Now I make 20,000 bucks but school costs 30,000 bucks :P

  • TO ALL YOUNG CUBANS OUT THERE........if u wanna know what "liberalization" does 2 u, take a look @ India aftr 1991. We have 1 of the the highest GDP growth rates in the world but our MPI or Multidimensional Poverty Index has worsened CONSIDERABLY. Today, parts of our country w/ 8-9 pc GDP growth is considered at par w/ Sierra Leone.

    With capitalist reforms, you will get to SEE development and pomp but never enjoy it for the 99 out of 100 cases. Stick w/ Fidel Cubans!

  • im american but my grandparents are cuban and i would like to go see where i come but with that whole gay travel ban on cuba how can i go i heard you can fly from mexico or canada how does it work

  • As long as Fidel or Raul is in power, Cuba will have no future.The couple that got married. Well,let me tell you. Those poor Cuban had to go through a lot just to have a decent wedding. Life is not easy in Cuba.

  • well, if usa wouldnt block cuban trades, cuba would be alot richer..

  • Im american and cuban (born in america but have cuban blood) and i cant wait till they let americans go to cuba, it seems like there is no racial hate or any hate, but one thing is, is that when americans come, so do their thoughts and ways but i can only hope it isnt those kind of americans.

  • Don't do it, Cuba. Capitalism is taking a dump.

  • I lived 12 years in Cuba(Vedado,Havana). And like in soviet Russia there are equals and "more equals". People spend 360 days complaining about life and maybe five being proud. Lets hope things change, there are a lot of smart people there.

  • raul castro es joto y cocainomano, deberian darle exilio en los ghettos de florida jajajajajajajaja

  • its like buying an average laptop at costco or bestbuy for 15,000 US dollars and having no internet access?? lol

    talk about inflation

  • Raulito is making fun of the cuban people.

  • Socialism fails miserably! It has failed so many times in history! If Cuba IS starting ALLOW a market system I hope it is going to be a succes. But I fear it will not because you have to know how it works and embrace it. Cubans should be allowed to read Adam Smith, John Locke etc. and start to embrace what private property is and demand property rights and individual rights (not collective rights).

  • Cubans in particular the blacks are not allowed at the Nacional hotel in Havana. No blacks work at the Nacional which is a time capsule of 1950's Cuba for European and Canadian tourists.

  • I hope those reforms would end like NEP politics in SSCB, not like Perestroyka. I understand embargo and all other pressures on Cuba, but those kind of reforms which based on private profit and free marketing, can damage socialism's ideology which based on equality, justice and common ownership of means of production.

    Viva Cuba!

  • us could have been embargoed from britan till know for seizing the colony (ameria) and making it it's own nation. funny US haitis these revolutionist. the US was the same revolutionist. Boston tea party. revolutionary war. taring and feathering of british soldiures. Their injustices withing their nation slavery, concentration caping of asian americans, systemic thefts of indian lands. breaking treaties. Why isn't the US on an embargo.

  • us could have been embargoed from france till know for seizing the colony (ameria) and making it it's own nation. funny US haitis these revolutionist. the US was the same revolutionist. Boston tea party. revolutionary war. taring and feathering of british soldiures. Their injustices withing their nation slavery, concentration caping of asian americans, systemic thefts of indian lands. breaking treaties. Why isn't the US on an embargo.

  • Cuba is a beautiful place. I hope one day Cuba and the US will become friends.

  • @Honkynees thank you man. i feel the same way, i lived in cuba, actually born there, and i wish they do cuz im ready for my people and family there to become friends with US and finally hav a better life

  • SHIT THATS WHAT THE FUCKIN WORLD NEEDS THE BASIC FUCK THE TECHNOLOGY RUIND THE EARTH.

  • rednemesis88-the embargo is llegal, when Castro seized all American Asset's after the "Revolution" in Cuba,America had on choice,and neither were they compensated by the Communist Regime,they litterally stole all thing's that the American's had built.Anything that is of any value in Cuba was built by America.As for "Chubby Cuban's" they are bloated full of rice and bean's,the muscular one's live on black market poaching of crocodile and turtle meat,this i did nit see in a film but lived it.!!

  • rednemisis88--are you for real? you say socialism work's in Cuba! I have been there 5x and i have never seen so much poverty,neglect,garbage,& filth in all my life,the Cubano's should be praised for having saintly patience with it's corrupt,and destructive Govn't. right now Imperial Aggression would be a godsend to 11,345,00 Cuban's who are literally starving and being treated like street dog's by their Govn't.,if this is socialism,give me Imperial Aggression any day.Viva Cuba Libre,Y Su Pueblo!

  • @b1nhac64 and yet you still fail too mention the Illegal trade embargo. There is no starvation in Cuba. In those film that depict the cuban people produced by the so-called "real cuba' or "the truth about Cuba" outfits, I see plenty of people who are chubby or even muscular. If there was a real problem with hunger, relife organizations like the red cross would be there all ready.

  • let it be known that Cuba is not a country,but an Island Republic known as "Republica De Cuba" the Cuban Culture is like any other unique culture all over the world--if the Cubano's were brilliant they would not be starving and would have rebelled against a brutal regime year's ago-being educated in Cuba and making $20.00 a month is a total farce and it isn't fooling anybody in the world-what Cuba has is not to be admired but pitied--Viva siempre Cuba Libre!!

  • @b1nhac64 It's not an issue of smarts but of dignity. The Revolution happened because people on the island as well as the rest of latin America were sick of what American corporations were doing to their countries. Sure they are poor and the world does know that but you seem to be forgetting the illegal trade embargo. To be pitied? If anything Cuba should be praised as the only country in the world where socialism actually does work and continues to do so in the face of imperialist aggression.

  • viva Cuba!

  • i don't feel bad for cubans, they get free health care and quality education, if you add the amount of the average health care bill in america to their salary it would way above 12 pesos.

  • cuba libre y democratica ya, desde youtube...la honorable sociedad

  • IM pretty tired of reading B.S so here it goes you ppl or CUABNS have one person to get rid of its whoever that person is CASTRO long ago you guys are so BALLYS here in miami but not in cuba WTF you spicks have no balls you wouldnt last a day in the holacoust cuz you ppl are so LOUD

  • cubans are real cool.see my channel

  • @abilify10mg No there not bro there fukin asshole most of them they are ruining miami or should i say N. cuba

  • Funny how none of the pro cuba commentators actually live in cuba

  • @reallysecretusername LMAO and they love there pissa shit island i say get the fuk outa miami and go there and see how good you are there they have no balls to kill one fukin guy and they call themselfs HEROS get the fuk atta here

  • Oh yeah, I want communisum!!! I want to stand in long lines just to get 10 eggs and a pound of freaking rice! Viva la revolution! Your an idiot! Most cubans are dieing of starvation, and cant even think for themselves because they will go to jail....

  • @myalaynaangel FUK cubans there so quiet there and no balls to speak and when they come here to MIAMI they are heros and SMART B.S there all retards lol and not to mention FUKIN LOUD AS HELL

  • People, the conclusion is that you have to live in the place for at least a month as a regular cuban citizen to understand whats going on, stop believing this person or that person, or this book or that book, or this program or that program, its getting you nowhere. I've visited my family in Cuba 3 times going on my fourth and by the first week it already unbareable.

  • Viva Fidel !!!

  • I have always wanted to go to Cuba. Maybe someday. I think Cuba will once again be a great place to travel to for Americans. I only hope Cubans want us there. What are the restriction on owning businesses there? I have seen many things I would love to import from Cuba too. Oh I hope some day.

  • @giasroom fuck cuba

  • of cource cubans want us there! tourism generates allot of money for cuba

  • @giasroom hey im a cuban, born in havana, and i have worked on my english speaking over the year. I love americans because i came here and got a whole new life. i think that any cubans like me would be more than welcome to let u come to cuba. Que Dios te acompañe (God be with u) :)

  • good for you, you are fortunate because there are people who fought and will fight for you. in our part we still have to fight against imperialism because our parents did not. viva la revolution...

  • Comment removed

  • I think Raul Castro is going to be a reformer.

  • Cuba is a beautiful country,,,i wish the gov would allow people to own businesses and create private industry there,,,reopen the tourism like they used to enjoy in the old days ,,,,and return to the table and negotiate to end the embargo ,,,the people are wonderful the place is a paradise,,,,if i had a million or 2 cuba in a sec,,,,

  • nice looking couple

  • The only thing worse for Cuba than Fidel and Raul is U.S. hegemony. I hope Cuba can find new leadership without too much US pressure.

  • @superbnarrativebro omg me too... the U.S. will just turn it into fucking disneyland...

  • if cuba wasnt pressured and a embargo wasnt established by the worlds boss america!!!!. cuba would of made the whole world look bad

  • The Castro Brothers whether its Fidel or his younger side-kick brother Raul continue to "represse nearly all forms of political dissent" and that "Cubans are systematically denied basic rights to free expression, association, assembly, privacy, movement, and due process of law". C'mon its the year 2010 get these red Dinosaurs out of Cuba.

  • @mayito714 to put who BUSH???

  • @cubacubamia Someone elected by the cuban people. Not one appointed by "The communist Party".

  • @mayito714 whoever told you that lied. There is freedom of expression. They hold debates in the schools. The last time I was in Cuba I asked all kinds of subversive questions, there were no cops chasing me. There's plenty of association in Cuba in the work place where people decide how the work should be done. If there was no due process of law the prisons would be swollen with bodies. If the Cuban gov didn't respect privacy then why do they organive buildings for married couples to have sex in.

  • @rednemesis88 " You" have rights in Cuba, Cubans have no rights there. You can ask subversive questions, Cubans are rounded up at night and questioned for subversive questions abiut the political system. Cops dont chase you cause you will leave Cuba. Cubans are put in jail routinely for years for "Political Reasons". Communists have always tried to sell their faulty political system. China, Vietnam, Korea, old Soviet Union,; Its all the same "CRAP". Cuba is the last red dinosaur

  • @mayito714 ooooo...becausse...your.fuckin­g.capitalist.crap.is.better?!?­!?your..fucking.capitalist.men­tality.where.only..money.profi­ts.and.myself.counts..is.bette­r???take.a..fucking.look.at.th­e.world...only.the.western.wor­ld.is.ok.in.capitalism..and.th­at.is.because.you.have.always.­fuck.the.others..starting..wit­h.the.colonial.system.until.mo­dern.day.imperialism.capitalis­m...fuck.you!!

  • @rednemesis88

    At last someone who knows about Cuba. I've been there many time and you are %100 right m8. I'll study there MA for next year i guess. For Free of course :)

  • @Atalay IM A SICILIAN BORN OF CUBAN FATHER. CUBA EDUCATION SISTEM IS # 1 in the world. best doctors and evrything is free. not like in santo domingo.

  • @catania642

    I know that my good friend. I'll go Cuba to study MA for that reason :)

  • @Atalay  god bless you.

  • u expect people afford to buy new product in short period of time. You are asking too much.

  • Disfruten de cientos de videos de Cuba en: VideosDeCuba punto com

  • They are deng xiao pinging it now. Interesting, i wonder if the majority of the population would do that too.

    Der, sanctions make the nation impoverished. And not exploiting foriegn lands and not enslaving the people!

  • are people who are living in cuba commenting on this?

  • @dancegeek18 lol

  • fudel is dead?

  • @smilly456 no he's going to live forever... :) ...

  • Vivan Fidel y Raul, pero por ser Cubanos, no por ser Fidel y Raul...

    Salud, compañeros de Cuba...!

  • whoever is disfaming cuba in this video or watever they are saying yes its bad b/c america's embargo is not letting cubans trade with allies of the usa. the usa simply needs to just not help the cubans versus forcefully indruding on their lives by nationalizing industries. usa is trying to implant colonialism they did it with sedam and are doing it in palestine dont let people missinform you. the holocaust did happen. and not very long ago.

  • what for cuban americans want "freedom", as they say? eat Mcdonalds & see stupid TV? This guy in the video wants to have a family, a house & a life hand in hand with his wife, into his own land. And by the way, cant see any poorness or torture chambers at this vid, but i see peopple agree with its gov indicates; something a lil hard to see over cuban seas...

    salud!

  • @SECTTOR what is it with you people and McDonalds and TV? I'm cuban-american and I barely watch TV nor do I eat at McDonalds. Stop your idiotic stereotypes! makes you sounds just as ignorant as a redneck hillbilly.

  • @dayron25 No lo dije por tí, sino por los hijos de Gloria Estefan, la hija del guarro de Batista. Puedo apostar a que conozco la historia mejor que tú, ojalá no dejen que Cuba sea otro Puerto Rico. Con o sin Castro.

    Salud!

  • @SECTTOR FUCK you cuban spick what for lmao learn english plz bfore coming to MIAMI like all of you fucken RAFTERS do

  • We have 661k doctors for a nation of 300million, We have 50 million people without health insurance, many who will die as a result. It costs 200k+ to become a doctor in the USA, DO YOU THINK THESE DOCTORS PRACTICE IN POOR RURAL AREAS where they'll make no money????Most bankruptcies are due to people's heath care bills, add joblessness , outsourcing of jobs and you can see why they advertise pills for depression constantly on tv. If you want some free x-rays, try the new scanners in the airport.

  • There are many things in the USA that exceed what's in Cuba. we have tent cities full of homelessness, We have our vets committing suicide or suffering from PTSD or living under bridges because the gov't can't be bothered.  We have children killing children with guns flooding the urban areas. We have the gov't looking at people's emails with impunity. We have RENDITION where the gov't can accuse you of terrorism and extradite you to another country and get tortured.

  • @dancesforfun No STUPID! We have children killing children with pistols because of ghetto nigger fathers ditching their kids and not sticking around to TEACH them MORALS, you fool. I'm one of those cubans that came here and not only do I eat like a king I have toys like one. Don't lose site of the TRUTH..those that fail in this country fail because they WANT to or because of laziness. I have health insurance why don't others? I'll tell you why..they rather smoke pot and sleep all day.

  • mariana sanchez , yo soy cubano dime a mi todas esas mentiras ,que raul ha hecho una apertura si !!, una apertura a la represion mas abierta hacia todos los que no piensan como ellos , a los que quieren seguir acabando con lo poco que queda de mi pais , y para seguir matando esperanzas de un mejor futuro , te felicito le haces muy bien el trabajo a ellos , te pagaran con favores ?

  • cubiche2367. abajo castro. abajo el comunismo. abajo todos los comunistas.

  • @suda51fan AMEN! ABAJO! Con todos esos hijos de la gran puta! Fucking arrastrados.

  • Correction-1)Cubans do go to their hotels, 2)Many Cubans have visited the USA when a relative asks the embassy to allow them to visit them. i have met these people in the USA and that's how i know. Cubans are astounded at how people are gouged in hospitals for money when in Cuba, health care is free. Nothing is perfect. The USA is fast becoming a nation or a few rich and many poor. Before you cast judgement on Cuba, try and fix your own country or we'll soon be wishing we lived in Cuba.

  • after reading some comments, there are many misconceptions about Cuba and the USA. First of all , Cubans cannot leave freely but if someone outside the country asks the embassy to visit them anywhere in the world, the Cuban has to show that they are planning to come back and they can leave. i know this for a FACT. Cubans make friends with visitors, sometimes marry them and they can leave freely and go back and forth. i know this for a fact. Some Cubans want to leave Cuba and some don't.

  • there are two economies in cuba, the peso and the convertible or CUC which is used mostly in the tourist industry. Those in the tourist industry are doing quite well, those using pesos are not so fortunate. you can live well and be happy without a bunch of material things. Look at citizens of the usa, they have a lot of material things but tons of stress. For many Americans , they're just a paycheck away from bankruptcy or homelessness. Cuba has better health care, education. and less homeless.

  • health care where? in what part? in the town that i visited i know the town nurse and even she said the only thing she has available to give ill people are herbs and shit like that . where are you getting your information from? my aunt is visiting the us in the U.S. and had to get an operation. thank god she was here when she got ill. In Cuba she would have had to travel to god knows where for that operation she might have died over there and the operation was free.

  • No nation on earth is perfect but don't compare Cuba to the advantages we have in the USA please who are you trying to fool not Cubens.

  • @mambomambo1 AMEN! And who the FUCK needs GOVERNMENT to give them what they need? NOT ME..I stand on my own two mother fucking legs as a "MAN" should. "I" give myself what I need..I don't need government to give me ANYTHING except for the chance to live in the best country in the planet!

  • I don't want any govt' tellling me what to do.

  • @Qbendanny Really? Doesn't your government tell you to pay taxes so that lazy people can have welfare? Is that not socialism? C'mon, know your government!

  • I tend to pity the fools that talk garbage about the cuban revolution, wich saved them from US backed Batista fascist regime, and made Cuba, compared to other poor countrys with just as little natural ressources, a leading country in health, education and security departments.

    They hate the government that saved the cuban people from slavery and colonialism because a defensive war is being fought against the imperialist USA and their barbaric terrorism and blockade.

    Simply pathetic.

  • what's pathetic is your talking about something you know nothing about. i suggest you visit cuba, and talk to as many people willing to risk talking to you about their government. EVERYONE i spoke with wanted to leave. they are not free, and they are dirt poor.

  • IMFG I don't do it like the "Americans want" me to. Sorry 2 dissapoint but I'm much 2 self aware 2 do anything anybody wants. I will NEVER forget where I came from & will always be proud of my culture. You make me laugh "go down there & change it" as if that were so easy. Again, I won't take advice from someone who's never lived in Cuba, the hold the govt has is unimaginable. I did stand up & I paid for it, had 2 leave for my kids & don't regret it. But will continue 2 speak for all Cubans!

  • @anaelena65 you put it the way it is . the people defending the revolution must live in other places not cuba. i see them all the time blogging and it's ridiculous. thats what i say those people don't live and have never lived there . thnks for your comments

  • @mambomambo1 thnx for your comments, I honestly had stopped writing because I'm tired of the BS that people say who have NO idea what Cuba is. Too many Americans don't realize how great this country is & are misguided in their love fest for Castro. They wouldn't last 1 week there without their freedom to complain & trash the gov't.

  • @anaelena65 that's true... I can hear the tears now...lol ..

  • @anaelena65 LOL than how come there is so many fukin spicks here in MIAMI they wouldint last a day in a real JOB they are so lazy fucks

  • Is rednemesis88 for real or is he just joking? I can't believe that he actually believes the things he writes, at least he's funny & entertaining! What I don't get is why he's wasting his time trying to bring a "socialist paradise" to the US when he can just hop over to Cuba & live his dream? My guess is that all of us would be happy to help him get to Cuba & live the "good life" he preaches about. How sad he's stuck in the US having 2 live with freedom of speech & we're stuck w/ him!

  • i don't see any difference btw the states and the soviet union my friend... thats a illusion you live in your national debt is gonna get you... the houses the conditions i've seen here in the projects are not different then other countries i've been to. your whole patriotism is a lie to make you go kill iraqi women and children and vietnamese and fucking everything then blame all shit to the communists... that's foolish... che fought for the people... the framers were revolutionaries...

  • the states didn't declare war the last 60 years but brought more terror to cultures all over the world then all talibans together ... i love the american people not all but for sure i don't hate nations but please don't critics other nations and system while in the states everybody's pledge is an act of nationalism like the 3rd reich... american politics should calm the fuck down focus on their intern stuff because the people in the states are suffering... not all a few...

  • and stop bombing children and building bases while trying to control the world and share their freedom with the other world... no respect to other cultures blaming the muslims... talking shit because the french don't want to speak english in their country... why everybody has to know english in amerika while the american going to other countries don't respect their culture and language... think about it

  • IMFG not sure where 2 start w/ you? Not sure why you're telling me to "stop bombing children" as I've NEVER spoken for ANY type of violence. As far as "critics" other nations, Cuba IS MY NATION! I have evrey right 2 "critic" what is the mess that is Cuba today. I have family & friends that live a life few will ever know, not some of them but ALL of them. I left to give my children opportunity. Nobody forced me to learn English, I chose to in respect for the country that open its doors to us

  • i brother thats a sad story.... believe me i know how you feel... i left my country too... but listen don't get me wrong what i tried to say is that: the states want to teach the world how to live... most of the americans never left their country most of them don't know anything of culture just bombing invading bases... see cuba was a symbol in my life... i saw them as a small country david against goliath... i don't support any government my opinion is that everybody should live in freedom...

  • like che fought for change in alot of countries... the usa teach the children in school that he is a terrorist and don't tell me that the people like him... most of the people are dissinformed they believe everything they see in tel. ... see in regions were not alot hispanics live most of the people talk shit. one part of america sees you as a threat to their culture. i don't wanna go to fare.. just to make clear i love americans the people not all but people with good hearts all over the world

  • your story is sad... i'm sorry... i wish you good luck and health... to your family of course too... but remember what che did... and don't tell me that that was wrong!

  • IMFG I'm sorry 2 say that yes you are wrong in my opinion, Che was NOT a saviour of Cubans. You can choose to like Che but don't try & make me or MANY other Cubans feel that way. From day one in our schools we were fed Che the hero, even had to sing his song wearing our little pioneer clothes. Che was a misguided fool who was used by Castro while he was alive and even more so upon his death. I'm not an uneducated person in regards to Che and the Cuban nightmare that he contributed to, sorry.

  • thats how you gonna destroy your country spitting on your on people thats how the us made all the strong enemies do... spitting and dissrespect their own country... yeah be proud to be an american and forget your roots forget who you mother was... but don't forget who made america it were not the hispanics and the english or germans here and specially the jew never gonna forget were they come from... spitt on your country... the jewish community is i would say the best organized and strongest

  • community in the world... they hold togheter that makes them strong... do it like the americans want you to do... spit on your people... see thats how many countries lost their identity... the winner writes history... don't forget were you come from and who's your family... chill in america enjoy your life but why are you now talking shit about the cuban government... go down there and change it... i mean fidel and che did the same they changed it... you sit at home and talk how bad cuba is

  • I'm NOT spitting on "my people" I stated I LOVE Cuba & as difficult as it is for you to understand, I also love the US that's allowed me opportunities Castro took away. Just because I don't share in your love of Che (who wasn't even Cuban)don't tell me I'm disrespecting my country, you are NOT Cuban so you have NO right 2 tell me what I'm supposed to feel or be after living in Cuba & experiencing what I did. You're self righteous & quick to judge. I know who I am,where I came from & proud of it

  • Cubans are a wonderful. As far why am I now talking shit about the Cuban government thats because in Cuba I didnt have the freedom 2 do so. Those who have not lived under Castro oppression need not give advice. I did what I needed to do for my family, as many Cubans before & after me did. I speak for the millions still in Cuba whos voices are silenced & people like you are blind to what is the truth of Cuba. I tire of you & others whove never lived in Cuba spouting your ideologies.

  • I agree... my father came here from cuba and hes told me all about it and i think amaricans wouldent last a day in cuba... They wouldent beable to keep there mouth shut because they never had to and personaly I think that some should go live over there to apprichate what they have here.

  • definitely

  • @paposbabygirl09 WTF you spicks have no balls you wouldnt last a day in the holacoust cuz you ppl are so LOUD

  • In case you aren't aware, it's acceptable to love the country you're from, embrace your culture, hold true to what made you but still appreciate & love the country that takes you in & gives you new hope. While I have never thought the US was perfect I appreciate the good it does offer and the people that are Americans. In this country I am VERY vocal about things I don't agree with & vote in EVERY election because I can & I cherish my freedom never forgetting those that don't have that!

  • i never said what you have to do... i just scratch some facts up... and don't try to tell me idk how it is.. i growed up in a communist country i was baptist while people get blowed up outside... i know what you try to tell me... but see we lived under the communism almost a half century and everybody was pissed about it... but now when we have our ''freedom'' the people talk about how good it was back then... my point is that the people in their country should change history... tell me why is

  • IMFG I don't know wher you lived but it's sad that now that you have freedom you wish you had communism. There's always a long period of adjustment when people who weren't able to achive & make their way are all of a sudden supposed to. The day that Cuba is free again, it 2 will go through a difficult time where I'm sure many will remember when they didn't have 2 work so hard 2 get so little. But, having had freedom & having worked hard 2 get what little I have I will never want to go back!

  • there an embargo on cuba??? why?

  • The answer is very simple, because of the "old Cuban dinosaurs" in Miami that have pushed for an embargo that's strengthened Castro & done nothing 2 eliminate him. Castro loves to use the blockade as he lcalls it 2 blame everything that's wrong with the economic mess hes made of Cuba. I & many Cubans are against it as the old breed of Cubans are fading away the backing of the embargo is fading as well. Sad how the old war of Batista & Castro led to that, many of us don't belong to that war.

  • So USA can impact on it's policy. If cuban are poor they will more likely support opposition. If they are rich, they don't have no need to do that.

  • @IMFG CUBANS always lie dont believe a word these spicks say out there loud mouth and to the cubans WTF you spicks have no balls you wouldnt last a day in the holacoust cuz you ppl are so LOUD

  • I disagree w/ many things done by the US, in fact my dream & the dream of many Cubans is of a Cuba libre that's not dominated by the US. As far as the national debt amigo, I TOTALLY agree, the US needs 2 clean house & stop printing $ we don't have! I haven't spoken ill of any culture and as far as Che goes, you have the right 2 see him as you want. I lived the result of his actions & I have a right 2 my own opinion. Nothing is black & white, I'm a proud Cuban American & love both countries

  • @anaelena65 I believe the things I write because they are real. It's not just about bringing socialism to the US (I never said "paradise" by the way) it's about accomplishing world socialism. Another reason why the embargo is so destructive to Cuba is because there are no other genuinely socialist nations out there (not yet anyways). Thats why Cuba's politics are geared towards the internationalism. We are "stuck" where we are because of capitalism.

  • Or they can go and buy a cell phone, with OH! I don't know! Maybe a couple hundred dollars?That which they'd have to starve to death for, for about a year and a half or so, in order to attain. So maybe they can speak to the wind! Seeing as how nobody else will have one.

    Unless of course, we the Cubans in exile, if we can afford it, send money to the families we left behind. Castro's new Machiavelian attempt to screw us out of our hard earned, "WE HATE AMERICAN " dollars.

    That's a good one!

  • Fidel is the biggest joke of all & so many have bought his BS. He's not a marxist or a socialist, he's an opportunist who reinvents himself & rewrites history for one reason, 2 maintain power. He hates the imperialistic US but he cries that the "blockade" (as he likes to call it) is the source of Cuba's economic mess, he can't have it both ways. Until you live and breath what is Cuba, you will NEVER understand the depth of despair. I appreciate those voices that speak the truth such as yourself!

  • Tell the US to lift the embargo and they'll have plenty of phones.

  • The joke is definitely on us!

    Cubans can have computers, but they can't have internet access, and if they do, it can only be at hotels, at an outrageous price per hour, that is almost equivalent to what a Cuban makes in a month. Even them, it is monitored, because they are Cubans. So a Cuban can now choose, whether they want to try to find food, with the money, that is already invisible to began with, so they can maybe eat for part of the month, or they can go party on the internet for an hour.

  • So now the Cuban government, because they are the omnipotent, decide that they will give some freedom to their subjugated.

    HURRAY FOR FREEDOM!!

    Thank you almighty masters of the universe. What little fraction of freedom will you give us next? Maybe allow us to go swimming in our on beaches?

    OH! WE ARE SO GRATEFUL, OH MIGHTY ONES!

    Thank you for the privilege, of not putting a ration on the amount of oxygen we are allowed to consume.

    Just how do they expect Cubans to buy these articles?

  • This is an absolute mockery from the Cuban communist government towards its people. More of the same time of oppression Cubans have been suffering for the last 50 years, with a little bit of a twist.

    What right should any country or government have over it's people, regarding the right of free enterprise. Going to a hotel, renting a car, or having a home of their own. Or furthermore, controlling access to communication equipment, like cell phones, computers. This is wicked humor at it's best.

  • A person was allow only to buy 2 or 3 pairs of shoes yearly and god forbit they would brake. Children couldn't drink milk after the age of 7 yrs old. It is notable the amount of houses and buildings all over the country that needs repairing, not only in Havana. Apparently some people believe is not Fidel's fault. I saw it with my own eyes. In the name of his communist regiment he stole ever property my family owned. What a great leader!

  • Anaelena65: Thank you for your comment. That is why i delete some of my answers. I realize that know matter how much i could try to explain my point of view is never going to be enough. I have knowledge of what i saw in Cuba under Castro's regime and what kind of abuse a lot of my relatives received. I saw how everything was rationed by a dawn small notebook call "la libreta" .

  • No borre sus comentarios 00angie, que otros como yo te apoyaran. 'Habla tu, habla' (Orishas) ;-)

    Todos tenemos el derecho y el deber de exponer las salvajadas de ese gobierno aunque otros que no saben de lo que se trata te traten de impedir que lo hagas.

    Good luck, angie!

  • Stealing what my family worked so hard for and also the millions of Cubans that Castro's regime stole from them. It's not Castro's fault now? I saw it with my own eyes-HELLO! We are sitting in from of a computer just like YOU!!! Because we have a Constitutional rights which is call freedom of speech. Justice will be serve as it did in Poland. I want real freedom for my people.

  • Freedom too or freedom from?

  • We have 2 STOP trying to make the ideologs understand what Cuba is. They R blind & see what they want, never taking into account that we have lived what the revolution gave...mierda!

    I 2 like all Cubans hope for a free Cuba for those left there who have to fight every day to just get by. I know there R many of us who actually know what is the Cuba of today & we'll never stop hoping for a Cuba of tomorrow that is free!

  • It's kinds hard to have the freedom to do what we want if your hungry, homeless and in debt. That is why in Cuba you have things like rationed food and free education and free healthcare. Because it's freedom FROM hunger and disease and ignorance. The revolution didn't give you mierda, the US did with trade embargos and acts of terror against the agriculture and infrastructure. They want to destroy the revolution because the US government and their corporate masters don't want the same here.

  • I am my people! I am Cuban! A real one that saw and lived to see the pain in the eyes of the beholder. What the hell do you call a better Cuba today! Starvation! ruins! An education that can't excel as professionals because everything is limited. You are blind folded or just plain stupid. Why is Cuba in ruins? OOOhhh sorry, the Castro brother's have nothing to do with it? Why are they thieves?

  • There is no starvation in Cuba. I never heard of the Cuban governemnt asking for food relief from international charity origanisations like the red cross. Cuba is not in ruins there are only some ruins especially in the neighborhood of old Havana. There are volunteer brigades going around building homes. So yes the Castro Bros. didn't have anything to do with it. It was the US imposed embargo that caused the problem's you"re taking about. Im curious, what was your profession or job(s) in Cuba?

  • Vive Fidel! Viva Raul! Viva Che! Que Prospere Cuba Socialista!

    Socialismo o muerte! Patria o Muerte!

    You sorry mongrel idiots should be thankful Fidel and his brother risked their lives to create a better Cuba. You guys can sit on your computer all you want criticizing this man, but until you know what it is like to go through hell, not for your own benefit, but for the benefit of your people, then come back and insult this genius.

    Viva La Revolution!

  • thats what I'm saying!

    word up!

  • are you cuben? have you actually lived in communist cuba? castro lives better then the common person in cuba it's been documented. he takes the island and takes advantage of the situation and will never let it go. I think it's time for another revolution.

  • @00angie1 ;) Cuba is one of the best countries in the world. We are so different from all the other Hispanics. Our culture rocks. We are absolutely brilliant! Others admire what we have, our 99.9 literacy rate and how we make doctors and engineers like ovens make bread! I LOVE BEING CUBAN!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • @martr164 Yeah you say that now if you said that to Castro's face you will be shot

  • @martr164 Yes You ARE !!! Greetings from an ALBANIAN !

  • @martr164 Cuba is anything but the best, it is a Stalinist dictatorship, the only thing that resembles it is North Korea,

  • @loveforchina

    Cuba and North Korea are two completely different countries. I agree Cuba isn't the best country. But to compare it to North Korea is just a horrible thing to do. Almost all countries allow travel to Cuba, the US doesn't though. If I lived in another country I could go to school in Cuba for a very low price and sometimes even free. North Korea is the real enemy, not Cuba. 

  • @martr164 Está muy bien enorgullecerse de los méritos propios, pero muy mal sentirse ufanamente satisfecho. La situación material de Cuba puede ser cualquier cosa, menos envidiable. Cuba no puede conformarse con tener unos altos índices de alfabetización, mientras en Cuba las cartillas de racionamiento no cubren la mitad de las necesidades básicas de nutrición y existen más doctores y dispensarios que medicamentos disponibles. Cuba necesita un cambio ya!

  • @martr164 is that what castro told you?

  • @martr164 sorry but all developed countries ,enjoy these benefits such as education and doctors,don't claim this as something special and extraordinary..only the undeveloped don't have literacy and doctors..it is not something t be jealoused of

  • The only pussies in Cuba are in huge big letters Fidel Castro and brother. Stealing from his people and leaving the country in ruins. Allowing migration of the Europeans in the Island and Canada to get their money. In the Island Cubans are not allow to visit the Resorts. What freaking freedom, yeah only for the tourists. Now to bad if someone is just totally prejudice against Cubans. Prejudice unfortunately is Universal and hatred only destroys a spirit.

  • property, and individual liberty. The United States,, however, retained its lease on Guantanamo bay, where a naval base was established. The USA has always tried to protect the people but not involving itself in Cuba's affairs and political regime. We love the USA for there support to our people in the Land of the free. My cousin and brother gave there lives in Afghanistan and Iraq for your freedom. Proudly as heroes of this great Nation.

  • If the US sailors in, before the revolution, cared about the people then why did they go out at night knocking at decent people's homes demanding sex with their daughters and urinating in the fountains that had statues of the spanish civil war heroes? I'm sorry to hear about your relatives dying, but the only freedom they died for was the freedom of the monied American ruling class to exploit both the American and aghani peoples. I don't know if they knew that or not but the fact still remains.

  • rednemesis88

    Why is it every time I go into another video regarding CUBA, and my country's political issues, you appear like a comet, talking nonsense? And it's always the same stupid retoric, just like the 4 Barbudos, communist idiot, on Cuba's government paid propaganda machine. Don't tell me? You couldn't possibly be one of them. That would just be too stupid of the Cuban government, to have someone as infantile and ignorant as you, doing that kind of work.

    You need to be deported, now!

  • And you need to tell the truth.
