Cuba being so based, that it did not work.
Hasn't Cuba been crippled by US sanctions and libel for decades?
Yeah, but they've had a lot of success despite that.
Sadly yes, but it is still way ahead of most other (in some cases even imperial core) countries in certain metrics.
Irrelevant, if they didn't want to be embargoed so hard maybe they should have done a capitalism.
Given the fact that the strongest economic power in the world has been fucking with them for decades, and they still manage to keep up on things like life expectancy and education (at times even surpassing the US on the life expectancy), I'd say they're doing pretty well. And looking at neighboring countries with similar histories that aren't getting fucked by the US, but chose capitalism (or had it chosen for them in case of countries like Chile), I'd say Cuba's a pretty good argument in favor of socialism.
