The main point I was trying to make was, if the Cuban people are hurting, its because the country has been discriminated against financially since they won independence in the 1950s, from global business influences setting up there, like South Vietnam. I heard it was foreign Tin Mines interests there.
Vietnam won independence too but joined the UN Security Council and now foreign businesses probably set up over there to export products back to the USA. The Venezuelan people too, were fine with higher Oil prices, and got very poor when oil crashed. But the Media blamed Socialism.
In my view the whole global economy lives as one big socialism thing, that’s why the USA lost so much, and undeveloped countries like China GOT so much. They spread the wealth.
I googled the Potemkin Village and the Author. Turns out he’s a typical media journalist guy that makes short stories long for entertainment. Below was info I found on him.

“During the years of the Trump Presidency, Goldberg has remained very critical of conservative media’s embrace of President Trump. On Trump’s defenders in the media, Goldberg said this:”
“For nearly five years now, it has been obvious that Trump was unfit for the job and the arguments marshaled in his defense were cynical rationalizations that, for some, eventually mutated into sincerely held delusions. Sure, some deluded themselves from the beginning, but I’ve talked to too many Republican politicians and conservative media darlings who admitted it in private.
During the Trump Presidency, Goldberg became increasingly critical of both the Republican Party’s embrace of President Trump and their abandonment of pre-Trump principles”
