Today China is a first world economy, in terms of development. The U.S. may still be in first in GDP but it is a broken economy in reality.

To apply communism is an aspiration, in fact it has never been applied anywhere, it is really still a utopia.

Cuba cannot go back to capitalism; we know all the tragic experience that it has generated for Latin America and the world. We also know the positive experiences of socialism not only in our geographic environment but also like what we are witnessing in China.

Just imagine, more than half of the young people in the European Union do not have jobs. How can one explain that? How can one explain that to a working family, that produces goods and services, those who produce the olive oil that is a a main source of food in any European country? They humbly work the land with great effort and then the little resources they had saved in banks have now become dust simply because they did not have the means to withstand inflation produced by the adjustment policies.

What the U.S. does is it continues to print money when the economic situation gets difficult. This is what happened in the last depression during the summer of 2008 when they tried to resolve the economic crisis by printing valueless money. This is the business privilege given to them at the famous conference of Bretton Woods in 1944 when the United States emerged as the superpower after Europe and the rest of the world, mainly Europe, that had collapsed because of the war.

Under communism, no one would be living in marginal conditions as they do under capitalism today and where the greatest part of humanity lives.

Cubans are a people who suffered from capitalism in the cruelest way, in the social order, the economic order and the political order.
