The only choice was between becoming a member or a bullet to the head.
You need to face the fact that, for many people in Cuba, the communist party is doing a damn fine job of running their country.
How many members did the Republican party recruit this year?

Originally posted by RedmikeActually true. Cubans have Universal Health Care and the percent poverty is much less than those living in the US. Of course the US shows you only the decaying streets and broken-down neighborhoods, but actually, there's much more.

And last time I checked, the US did not have universal health care. That's because the US is one of those bad-apple capitalisms (not the neo-capitalisms like most of the governments in Europe which also have health care and which I support, but a corrupt capitalism that exploits the lower classes). If there ain't money in it for the oil companies, the US ain't doing it.

By no accounts am I saying that either Fidel or Raul are flawless. I'm just saying that if I were in the lower class, I would much rather be in Cuba than in the US. Better yet, somewhere in Europe.

In fact, i would guess you are currenty living in the middle east. Correct or not correct? I have a very sensitive ear for such things. You have been caught red handed.
