   It is interesting you say this, but this is not a reality.  I assume you   
   are posting from France which has a history of bloody kings including   
   Napolean.   
      
   Much of the planning for the Bolshevik revolution took place in France.   
      
   And how much change has occurred in Cuba in the past 20 years?  Changes   
   that would normally take other countries hundreds of years.   
      
   Please do not be naive by calling these communists "dictators."  Although   
   the leader have much control over the party, it is an overstatement   
   at this piont to categorize it as a dictatorship, any more so then   
   the United States is a corpora-tacracy.   
      
   The rulers are not some crazy dictators.  They are attempting to   
   stay true to the principles of Marxism, which has numerous benefits for   
   its citizens, just as capitalism has numerous pitfalls for the average   
   man.  Do we need billionaires flying around with 20 jets   
   (and even fighter jets), while these people you mention are starving?   
   And you put this blame on Cuba?  In the US you are still in trouble if   
   you have medical problems and are not rich--it is not like somewhat   
   socialist France.   
      
   The leadership of Cuba has given the Cubans numerous opportunities to   
   leave the society freely over the years.  Although I am not sure   
   of all their motivations for this, your reasoning is strange.   
      
   Cuba, Soviet Union, Soviet Union under Stalin, China under Mao,   
   China Now, North Korea, Iran...these are all very different from   
   each other. The Stalinist Soviet Union for instance is very different from   
   what the majority of Russians, even communist Russians wanted.  And   
   Stalin is a reaction to very serious actions from the West.   
      
   Cuba has had some rough times, but never has been as you seem to be   
   describing.
