"But few of Cuba's 11.2 million people have access to the Internet, and anyway are preoccupied with staying afloat in a sclerotic economy where basics like toilet paper often disappear from store shelves and most people eat meat only a few times each month."

Castro's Communist has only distributed existing wealth - NOT Created any New Wealth, like the Free Enterprise System does.

Castro took over Cuba in 1959 and retired in February of this year.

He still is "president for life", otherwise known as being a dictator.
