A strong passage in the article: "As someone once put it, “communism was a great system for making people equally poor — in fact, there was no better system in the world for that than communism. Capitalism made people unequally rich.” Were these the words of Milton Friedman, Ronald Reagan, William F. Buckley Jr., or George Will? No. They were the words of New York Times columnist Thomas Friedman, who wrote them in his bestselling 2005 book The World Is Flat."

But you must realize there are some on the left that blame the U.S. for everything, they would rather tear this country apart.

Yes. And while the article recognizes that the US embargo harms the Cuban economy (that's the point), it also points out that Cuba is free to trade internationally and does so...yet the down spiral of the economy continue under communism.

Those on the left seek to blame the US but it isn't about us, it's about their government
