The thread is based on a biased view that intimates that there are those who think Cuba is a Socialist Paradise. I don't know anyone personally who thinks this way.
There is no country in the world that is a paradise, not the U.S. or any other one.

When a loaded propagandistic thread occurs on Mudcat, you have to answer it by questioning why it was offered in the first place. Cuba has flaws, human rights, poverty, not as bad as other countries, but also has some important accomplishments such in its literacy programs, universities and health care.
