for some clue. Don't worry comrade, he's a commie too, therefore it's safe to read. After all his name is also Marx.
Cuba, which is of course Ground Zero for communism in the western hemisphere.
This is a misconception that is very widely spread. Cuba isn't, and never has been, Communist - nor can it be. Nor was the Soviet Union, China, or Vietnam. Communism is a
classless/stateless society and is internationalist by design, therefore there hasn't been and cannot be any such thing as a "Communist country". Basically if these three conditions are not met, it aint Communist. Cuba is an example of State Socialism (or State Capitalism depending on who you ask) - a system that is actually rejected by a majority of the Communist movement both today and yesteryear, save Leninists.

"Your very ideas are but the outgrowth of conditions of your bourgeois production and bourgeois property, just as your jurisprudence is but the will of your class, made into law for all, a will whose essential character and direction are determined by the economic conditions of the existence of your class." - Marx (addressing the bourgeois)

Even a child of five could understand the sarcasm. Fetch me a child of five.
I was the fifth child of five. Does that count?
