It should be noted that Cuba is going through a lot but it’s still in better shape than Capitalist Haiti.

A better comparison might be to the capitalist Dominican Republic, which is a very similar country both in culture and history. Cuba's nominal and PPP per capita GDP are very similar, and they have similar HDI.

Yeah, it's not a Cuba thing but a general underdevelopment thing...
