It's so overwhelming in fact that it's actually difficult to pinpoint what's the fault of the embargo and what's the fault of the government.

So if America actually wants to help Cuba then they need to end the embargo.

And to all the reactionaries reading this, if the embargo really isn't causing any issues whatsoever for the people if Cuba and it's the government's fault then what's the point in keeping it?

If you want to prove that the embargo isn't at fault for the current sociopolitical climate in Cuba right now then you just need to remove the embargo and let us see if you're right.

There's no other way to prove your theory.
