likely. They probably would still have the issues with things like press freedom and what have you, but they could easily have a much stronger economy than they do.the revolution was successful and didn't decay into violence and mayhem, I'm not convinced it produced a free and prosperous society. For as iconic as Che is today, he, uhhh, was crazy, to say the least. For instance, if the Russians had stationed missiles in Cuba, he was adamant about launching them at America.

one of my favorite parts about the riots is that, afterwards, people on social media sites were outing those who they saw or had pictures of rioting. Apparently there was some backlash for some of them 🙂
It was insane. Some of the reporters on local news channels were even saying that those who recorded the rioting on video and took pictures were "just as bad." It's absolutely nonsensical.

I agree... I mean "developed" purely in the economic sense. Obviously Cuba has a long way to go towards being a free society. I mean, true socialist governments haven't historically done well but it seems like the Castro government knows how to organize... It would have been interesting to see if communism could have made a sustainable economy.
indeed
tbh though, some south american nations might be better examples. For all his faults, Chavez has done a decent job in Venezuela, though I'm not sure how strict you want to be with the "socialist" label
