>There have been hours-long queues for basic foodstuffs in recent weeks on the Caribbean island.
>People have posted photos of long waits at the supermarket under the hashtag #lacolachallenge, meaning queue challenge.
>But less aid from ally Venezuela has also led to shortages of essentials - as has a drop in exports - leaving the Communist-run island struggling to pay for imports.
>Cuba brings in up to 70% of its food from abroad. Numerous agricultural reforms in recent years have failed to boost production.
>But Ms Díaz also blamed Cubans who hoard products for the shortages, saying some people kept items they felt might disappear from the shops while others resold goods on the black market.
>Journalist Yoani Sánchez tweeted that what was once of the best-stocked shops in the city had "turned into a battlefield to get a kilogram of frozen chicken".
>In April, 91-year-old Cuban revolutionary Guillermo García Frías suggested Cubans could eat ostriches, crocodile and edible rodents known as jutía amid the shortages, prompting a flood of memes mocking the commander's suggestion.
And yet again, communism is failing
They should just become a free market island and rake in all that forign money that needs hiding from taxes.
>haha nothing to worry about just a simple logistics mistake!
>uhh it is probably nothing
>definitely nothing
>this is capitalists fault
>not real communism
what is wrong with crocodile meat exactly?
>cambodia
Fucking animal, of course
4 out of 6 of those women are overweight, clearly there isn't that bad of a food shortage.
well parasites for starter.
For a second I thought it said "Cubs to increase rationing amid shortages"
>Isolates, embargos, and actively sabotages communist country
>communist country fail
Lol communism doesnt work
If your socialist paradise is totally dependent on trade with countries that have market economies, then I'd say it's not a very successful utopia
>NOT REAL COMMUNISM!
The helicopter rides will be free, faggot.
This.
Its not failing at all.
precisely why communists advocate internationalism and world revolution. there is only so much an individual socialist state can accomplish if it still has to compete in a global capitalist system
The trade is needed to get resources the nation lacks thats why the ideal is a continent size communist state that requires no trade at all a utopia free of the enslavement scam called the (((world economy))).
Or God hates fags and communism.
So the USSR. Didn't that fail too?
Yes but thats due to jews not communism.
"Governing countries is so difficult, my ideology would work if the whole world was just handed to me in a silver plate!"
Cuba would have worked, had it not been for all the interference by American imperialists
A world communist state would be perfect.
But it won't happen. Make your crappy system work in a single country, and then other may adopt it in the future.
