7. And so the failed policy continues...rather than an embargo, we should have simply overwhelmed...
Cuba with free-market Capitalism. For that would have caused the collapse of communism and set the Cuban people free a long time ago.

Many communists suggest that the cause of Cuba's problems is that it does not have economic relations with the US. However, an embargo is not a blockade. Thus, Cuba is free to trade with every other nation on the planet.

I doubt they realize it, but when they blame the woes of communism on the lack of trade with the world's leading practitioner of Capitalism, they are inadvertently acknowledging the superiority of Capitalism.
