The reality in Cuba

Perpetual revolution, a freshly painted slogan on a factory in Cuba visted in 2015
My morning composure was spoilt this morning as I was obliged to listen to Ken Livingstone and some other old Trotkyist sympathiser heaping praise on Fidel Castro who died yesterday.

Castro was the worst sort of communist dictator who held his country back for 60 years.

We visited Cuba in 2015 and even as tourists it was impossible not to notice how poor and repressed the people of Cuba continue to be.

'Red Corner' in Cuban tobacco factory 2015.  The Party Member (seated) promotes propoganda and keeps an eye on the workers.
 I am not surpised that Cuban emigres in Miami were celebrating last night.  It's just a pity that the exploding cigar failed to ignite many years ago.

Urban decay in Havana 2015
Industrial decay. abandoned factory, inland 2015.
