"Other countries/other systems would have collapsed already, if endured the same external policies by 1 country."
Their climate makes survival easier than eastern Europe. They have work camps. They have steady cash input from visitors. The repression system was perfected for decades. It won't fail too soon, the tourists won't let it happen.
Cubans are wonderful people who can't do what you did: come visit your country. Unlike you, they aren't free. They go to jail for expressing their opinions. And it's not because of external policies
of USA.I'm not saying, "don't go there". I'm saying, "if you go there, try to do something for them". At least don't spread news of how good life there is.
You have fun and then you leave and they have to live in a secret police driven country.
I don't hear of foreigners taking risks to become exiles in Cuba.I've had a Cuban teacher. Sometimes he would come to school very sad. Those were the days he'd received messages from home. Who of his friends were arrested, tortured, etc.
Has this blurred my vision? I don't mind if it has.
