Fidel's World

I FIELD PROUD OF MAX AND JASON BECAUSE THEY ARE LATINOS, DO ANYBODY KNOWS WHERE ARE THEY FROM?

Thank you for this insightful piece. Too bad there are many people on current who doubt Cuba's true plight.

This is just American anti-Cuban propaganda.
Even if the baseball players got paid $13 dollars a month (which is a lie) they have a very good system for buying necessities,with cuban $s.
And yes theres absolutely ''NO'' propaganda in the US is there? and when i was there we got in loads taxis,the one you were in was probably an un-licensed taxi
"oh boo hoo the big bad evil goverment stops me from stealing".
yes there are down sides to communism,but its not as if there arent down sides to capitalism.and if you went to places in the U.S. there would be houses in worse condition. One more thing cuba has better healthcare than the U.S. ,AND a bigger literacy rate.
Stop spreading imperialistic lies mshen!!

Good report.

Great insight, unbiased and though provoking.

there is a difference between communist states and socialist states.. learn, mshen.

"defendiendo el socialismo" is what is drawn on the wall when you say "communism" during the "what comes to mind when you hear the word cuba" intro you have.

which translates to "defending socialism"

i don't know how you missed that since you speak spanish.

hope you don't think i am carping.. i just feel that if you are going to report on something, come close to the truth.

significant details.

and thanks for adding the bit about luis posada carriles.. not too many report on him.

this is my favorite pod so far...........
its cool they think they are fighting the empire...
its just is really sad all those people are trapped in a war of the elites..... the black nobility(mafia) members have owned gambeling there long before.... they built veges
they work both sides and keep us in fear of each other.
i want the walls to fall

very cool it was very intresting and i got a good insight to what it is like over there

I really loved this piece but it felt like you had already made up your mind about cuba before getting there.

nice pod! i had the opportunity to visit cuba years ago on an exchange, and i loved every moment of it. i'd hate to think what the country will be like when it's overrun by ubiquitous chain everythings.

I truly enjoyed it...true insight of the way of life over there. I wish I could visit so that I am able to see how my great-grandfather lived, Maybe One day...Very nice Piece.

Good piece that gives a pretty good sense and flavor for the place.
Only 90 miles from the U.S., but worlds apart. Cuba's one of my favorite places, and while it's easy for an American to lament over the imminent loss of Cuba's singular culture and society, you also have to wonder if/how the poor nation's economic liberalization will benefit the people.
