    no, you did not look at the facts. Basic history teaches us that the US has always been aggressing and sabotaging Cuba for not wanting to be a glorified sugar colony anymore. Official Documents show that the reason the US has put the embargo on cuba was to specifically starve the people, to impoverish the lands for the possiblitiy of a counter-revolution and before you say “uh well cuz cuba has soviet missiles therefore the people should starve” The US had missiles in Italy and Turkey before. The US bombs countries around the world in the name of “democracy” establishes business-friendly dictatorships in south-america and intervenes in elections meanwhile cuba sends Doctors around the world to countries who lack medical personal but somehow Cuba is the “threat” and needs to be starved down in order to obey to its grand-master again. You cannot call Cuba undemocratic because Fidel and the revolutionairies had majority support from the people with people to this day democratically voting for policies for example the cuban family code in which 66 percent of the people voted for the legalization of same-sex-marriage and other making cuba one of the most progressive latin american countries. I guess you can argue “b-but atleast we are not ruled by a one party system” while the truth being, yes you are: both the democrats and republicans are two sides of the same coin and that is the capitalist coin, they both bomb children in the middle-east and have and are always going to take profits before people. At the core these two parties are just there to make it seem like you have a choice under this dictatorship of the bourgeois. https://history.state.gov/historicaldocuments/frus1958-60v06/d499 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2022_Cuban_Family_Code_referendum https://www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b-d&q=when+did+the+us+put+missiles+in+turkey https://www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b-d&q=when+did+ussr+put+missiles+in+cuba
