Despite sixty years of trade embargo, and now a total blockade, Cuba has outpaced the US in literacy, life expectancy, and other areas--and this is after the country had already been plundered of much of it's natural resources.
The only thing the US is "proving" with this blockade is that large, powerful countries can use their power to harm smaller, less powerful ones. If, as capitalists claim, "socialism doesn't work," it wouldn't take sixty years of intervention from the most powerful country in the world to "prove" it.
