Why is Cuba Collapsing?

Cuba is facing a deep crisis, not only economic but also ideological, as the model it followed has proven ineffective. The country, once a symbol of revolution, is now experiencing shortages of basic goods, mass emigration, and decaying infrastructure. An obsession with a state-controlled economic system, the failure of external sponsors, and corruption have contributed to the collapse. The situation is exacerbated by a lack of hope for the future, especially among young people, who are seeking better living conditions abroad. The author refers to the criticism from the Western left, which often justifies failed authoritarian regimes.
