Mans posted:Wait, why does opening Rum markets to the U.S. will risk an increase in price and decline in quality? It's a Cuban-French enterprise. I was going to rebut this with some quality American liquor, and realised that I literally couldn't think of a single good American liquor some bourbons, i guess?

Realtalk Cuba is a good country by a lot of metrics for its area and history. It's still got tons of trouble with all kinds of fun semi-command-economy things, and it generally can't compete with major "Western" countries. The reason that Castro tends to get lionised is because his administration has managed, through extremely adverse conditions, to provide a real-world example of a tough and not completely dysfunctional non-capitalist economy (also no doubt some "no, gently caress you dad"-ism, but eh).

That's, like, twenty years ago, dude, the country is (to many people's great surprise) still running and still way ahead of regional averages in some p. important metrics like, I can respect the sentiment that this does not make the whole "repression" thing OK, but it's really not that controversial

Is there a good account of that mess anywhere, by the way? I never really understood that part of the Cuban revolution - I've been under the impression that it was more or less the standard post-victory power struggle that got even nastier than normal, is this accurate?

HorseLord posted:Well, he said a bunch of outright lies fed to him by his generic cuban expat community, things we know are false because Cuba is a country people can go to very easily, including people who do fun stuff like compile evidence and statistics and poo poo. So I'm not going to believe anything else he said, either. you seem like a very pleasant, fun person to be around, just thought you should know that
