  • Cuba survived Peak Oil by allocating land to the people to grow food locally. North Korea didn't survive Peak Oil, they've been starving.....

  • if you are worried about rising food prices due to bio fuel. then you should look into becoming a vegetarian. eating meat is the most energy intensive thing in the world. 1 person on a meat diet can feet 20 on a vegetarian one. even in a small country like vietnam almost 3 millions tons of corn and soy is imported just for livestock feed.

  • great video !!

  • Castro dupes so many morons, especially the eager little progressive minds, who suffer from narcisistic martyrdom and/or social repression. Lenin called them "useful idiots," those people living in liberal democracies who by giving moral and material support to a totalitarian ideology in effect were braiding the rope that would hang them. Why people who enjoyed freedom and prosperity worked passionately to destroy both is a fascinating question, one still with us today.

  • Most of the oil is then sold for hard currency, bringing in cash. Cuba also charges Venezuela $30 per patient visit, meaning a $1,000 daily haul per doctor, but the doctors never see any of it. Pathetic how fools support SLAVERY,

  • Cuba's oil-for-doctors deal is MODERN slavery .What the doctors endure are not just bad conditions common inside Cuba. The doctors are instruments of a money-making racket to benefit the very Castro regime that has ruined Cuba's economy. That's because their labor is tied to an exchange:

    Castro takes 100,000 barrels of oil each day from Venezuela's state oil company in exchange for uncompensated Cuban SLAVE labor.

  • I like how this video didn't show anything about how Cuba survived peak oil. 

  • We'll all end up having to eat each other.

    Like in that movie... We Ended Up Having to Eat Each Other.

  • Cuba is a disaster The Cuban economy has always been in shambles since Castro named himself king. However, in 1994, the rafter crisis opened a population escape valve ... The Cuban-Americans in Miami support the entire population of Cuba and its decimated economy. To use this IGNORANT video as a litmus on our impending collapse is beyond reckless. Unless Americans migrate north and we can live off our Canadian relatives. Good LORD! Lets get serious, CUBA IS WHAT NOT TO DO! Ask Venezuelans!!

  • wow now that i watched this video it told me how they did it! [if it wasn't cut off... lol] p.s. vegans are a type of furry...
