How Cuba Became Socialist Hell on Earth

Описание: As socialism collapses around Latin America, we took a look back at where it started. All roads lead back to Castro and Che. Today, we look at how the young men seduced the Cuban nation and socialists around the world, and how those false promises led to destruction. We also cover the Castros’ Cold War rivalry with the Kennedys, the Cuban propaganda apparatus, and where the economy sits today.

Joining me this episode is Gaby Blanco, an outspoken critic of the Cuban regime, who shares her experiences in the country.
