I've been to Cuba. Besides the Cubans which are not the most refined or civilized of peoples, it would be a paradise without all the embargoes and sanctions against them. It's still a nice place for vacations, other than the fact that the water's edge itself is public property, meaning that these people are entitled to invade those beaches we pay thousands of dollars to visit, and if a resort chair is somewhat close to the water's edge, they will feel entitled to occupy those chairs, while we pay big money to what amounts to exclusive rights to said longchair on the beach. So in this way they are very much communist: there's a chair, I'll use it (no matter that somebody paid thousands of dollars for EXCLUSIVE RIGHT to use said chair).

Besides this, these people have tremendous envy and jealousy of our VERY RELATIVE material wealth, but they have zero stress in their lives. They also love walking resort beaches and staring down the shapelier ladies. Very annoying.
