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.
