22. So the logical way to deal with that is
To deny any way for the Cuban people from learned about capitalism from the US via sanctions? The fastest way to destroy a communist society is to expose them to trading with a capitalist society. Look at Eastern Europe, how they fell apart in the 80's as their people started buying Western products and started to crave a new lifestyle. Sanctioning Cuba is counterproductive in ending communism. Tell me how much money US tourists would spend buying food, lodging, clothing, etc from local sellers while visiting Cuba? That influx of money would revolutionize the Cuban economy, which would quickly throw off communism. It's already happening to China to some degree, happened to Eastern Germany as well.
