Cuba

Contributors typically ask about Cuba's ancient Arawak, Ceboney and Taino past; brief forays into 20th century democratic politics; cultural contributions to world music and poetry; and political plans for the future.

What is one way cuba changed after the Cuban revolution?
My grandma says Cuba used to be a good, pretty place, perfect for vacation. But with the "revolution", Fidel made everything bad by getting all the money for himself, and then making Cuba seem like the best place in the world while people talk bad about the U.S and saying communism its good without no one even knowing the definition. Now theres no AC, almost no water, blackouts twice a month, and each time someone says "I kinda don't like Fidel" y'know what they do?People who think other people's opinion's are as bad as Hitler will come and beat you (Why am I even comparing opinions with Hitler? I dont think they even know who he is.) and when you call the police, when they come to "arrest" those people, they will just stand there talking with them. They don't even imform people about Fidel's beatings nor Las Damas de Blanco on the news! Its all propaganda n talking bad things.
