Do these sound like people living in a paradise?

And again, this should be observed for what it is. It's a desire to live in a free society, one with a presumably unlimited potential for upward mobility. It's literally a desire to live in the land of milk and honey....
This however doesn't change the fact that people in Cuba are not impoverished, they are not starving, and they are not poorly educated (at least not any more or less in relation to those problems here in America). People
aren't wealthy in Cuba, that's for certain. But there's virtually no homelessness, and many basic needs are covered.
This, IMO, is as ideal as a Communist type of system can be. Is it preferable to ours? Not in my opinion....
