But I'm sure Corbyn's version of Communism/Socialism will work just perfectly
Right, and Trump is worth hundreds of millions, half your country lives on food stamps and those who get seriously sick potentially go bankrupt. Yay for American capitalism. Cuba is poor because of what your country did to it over decades of unjust sanctions and they still provided free health care to all.

Corbyn's version of socialism would work just fine as it has worked in practice in many countries around the world. You are just too blinkered to see that it is your own version of capitalism that is the elephant in the room. Most countries are nothing like America and do much better than America.

People really don't dislike you because of your 'freedoms'.
No miles Cuba is the way it is because it sided with the Soviet Union and Castro did nothing but enrich government workers at the cost of the plebeians. He went through with not one iota of the utopia he preached in the mountains. Clinton gave billions to North Korea to end nukes and help his country people, North Korea laughed as they finished the bomb while taking our money. It was a good faith attempt Clinton had and I respect him for it
I'm about to read a book about Cuba, so we can have this discussion another time. As for North Korea, I see few redeemable qualities, but I feel the same about a lot of regimes.
