Oliver, Cuba was East Germany in the Caribbean; and for some of it's residents it still is.
Largely propped up by the USSR hence it's problems once the USSR was dissolved.I did try to flag up that this was something someone said to me, not my own opinion. However, comparing Cuba to East Germany doesn't go very far. Far too many differences. Then again, if you're going to set up an East Germany anywhere, the Caribbean isn't the worst place in the world. :)
