Cubans (in Cuba) generally love Americans and talking about the U.S. They are careful to say they recognize the issues between our two countries are our governments do not get along, but the people do.

Cubans, by and large, want more personal freedom. But there are also aspects of socialism and the revolution they like (like universal healthcare & schooling) and do not want those to go away.

Having lived in Castro’s Cuba for four years (1993-1997), I had a lot of neighbors continually asking me for vitamins and even aspirin. I regularly jogged by a farmacia in my barrio. There were usually two girls behind the counter, dressed in white lab coats. The shelves behind them were usually completely empty. I lived three doors up from school. It could’ve been in Baghdad or Peshawar. The school was ramshackle with big holes in the roof, broken water pipes and no visible playground. And this was in a one-time posh neighborhood before the Castro bros, and the CCPCC took over every aspect of everyone’s life. My neighbors were generally pro-American and some rabid Castro-haters.
