Why anybody would want as a role model a country which has failed in every possible social and economic endeavor is beyond my understanding, but that is how too many of those destitute countries down there are thinking right now.
Because most of these countries have a handfull of very rich and the rest have nothing, the idea of everyone having basic needs looks like heaven. How many people in these South American countries have ever been to Cuba? They only know they don't like what they have and are being promised a better life.
They've been down so goddamn long, it looks like up to them?

Post Fidel, the lure of American companies looking for offshore, cheap labor only 90 miles from the IRS might be tempting.
