    “Free” elections in Cuba would just mean immediate US vassalage. Influencing elections in the Caribbean and Latin America is a practically a US hobby.

      Right? It’s easy to bloviate about “free, democratic fair elections” when you’re the world’s superpower. When you live NEXT to the world’s superpower, there’s no such thing.

      If giving the Cubans the choice to no longer pursue Marxism resulted in them choosing to no longer follow Marxism why should that be stopped? If that was what the population wanted why should the state force them to adhere to an unwanted ideology?
