Cuba was one of the most well developed countries in the world in 1959. But today it is one of the least:
* Daily food consumption in Cuba, as measured by calorie intake, has fallen 16 percent since Castro took power and is now well below other Latin American countries (see figure).
* Telephones, radios and autos per capita have remained at pre-Castro levels, while rising sharply almost everywhere else.
* Cubans' health and literacy are high, it is true, but they were already high before Castro.

MORE POVERTY THAN EVER BEFORE
Many Castro apologists try to justify the poverty in Cuba saying that you can find the same poverty in many other countries. But what these people do not say is that those other countries didn't have to suffer a revolution that caused tens of thousands of deaths, millions of refugees, the loss of all liberties, and that supposedly was needed in order to improve the life of ALL citizens.
After more than 47 years, there is much more poverty in Cuba than ever before. Except for Castro and his gang who are the new millionaires, the 11 million Cubans have to suffer the exploitation of the omnipotent state, rationed food, lack of housing and the indignity of being second class citizens in their own country.
It is the worse form of capitalism, the capitalism of the state.
But incredibly enough, there are some Latin American countries that want to copy this failed and obsolete system and there are even some moronic Americans who claim that we should imitate some of the things that Castro has done!
