      I’m sure you have some kind of a source for such an outlandish claim. How much time do you spend looking at the compensation of Cuban politicians?

          I’ve read the thread. You have no source and you have not even tried to educate yourself on the basics of the Cuban government. You invented an accusation out of thin air and are somehow surprised people don’t uncritically believe it.

              Cuba now has a privileged elite defending it’s grip on power against the poor majority

              Source this.

              You have done zero investigation into how well off Cuban leaders are compared to the average Cuban. You have done zero investigation into how this compares to peer countries.

              You just made it up because it sounds like a Bad Country thing, someone told you once that Cuba is a Bad Country, and you never bothered to learn about the place yourself.

                  Still no sources on anything, and you’re not even staying on the topic at hand.

                  how does any of that make them “bourgeoisie” or the “privileged elite”? Nations have different political systems, you shouldn’t expect them all to be organized like the corrupt American system unless you are an imperialist. And it’s particularly offensive to want to impose American political values on Cuba, a former American colony who righteously broke free of those chains.

                  The people in powerful positions in the Communist Party got there because people voted them in. What’s hard to understand here?

                  You know who is the ruling class in capitalist countries, right? It’s the capitalists. It doesn’t matter how egalitarian the political system appears on paper, because de-facto the capitalist class rules.
