This Fat Fuck Last Seen Inconsolable...Castro’s Cuba was no place for a socialist like me- Spectator UK
It was like they didn't know that this kind of shit really happened. What a couple of idiots... Good job seeing the light...
My wife and I, as unreconstructed paleo-lefties who support Clause Four, free school meals and NHS dental provision, had long wanted to visit Castro’s Cuba. All the people whose views we respect had said that the Caribbean island was a progressive model whose policies on education and healthcare ought to be copied throughout the world. We went there last April desperately wanting to like the place — after all, if George W. Bush and other right-wing nasties hated Cuba so much, then the country must be on the right tracks.
But we returned home terribly disillusioned. Neither of us had been to a country which was so utterly decrepit.
And this is one of my favorite lines...
The average wage in Cuba is a pitiful $17 a month. The monthly ration which includes 283g of fish, 226g of chicken, ten eggs and 1.8kg of potatoes is barely enough for a fortnight, meaning most Cubans need to work the black market to stay alive. Things that we in Britain take totally for granted — such as toilet paper, toothpaste and pens — are luxury goods in Cuba. I’ll never forget the look of joy from an old lady when I handed her a couple of old marker pens and a coloured pencil.

Why is that shocking? Oh wait, he is a leftist lol. Communism in full effect. Now he might understand why Venezuelans are crying for US intervention. Hopefully he quits smoking whatever he was using that made him think communism was any good.
