If the government came into your home; ordered your eviction and stole all of your property -- would you just go and harbor no resentment?

People invest their money in the US and Western Europe because there are laws that are above any government -- your investments are safe from arbitrary government confiscation.

Castro really failed his people -- for 50+ years Cuba had no international investment and survived off the scraps of the old USSR. Today there would be shiny Island Resorts in Cuba and real work. Today, ancient US made automobile roam Cuba's tattered streets. Cuba looks like 1960 America did -- I fail to see how the Cuban people have prospered. The Cuban people themselves are industrious -- Castro's government retarded Cuba's economic growth. Socialism can work with Capitalism -- Communism cannot -- we see the result in Cuba.

What good there is in Cuba could have evolved on a Socialist Democracy.
