But in order to start some discussion - I have been bothered for some time now by the following thought: Since the establishment and legalization of the dollar economy in Cuba, this dollar economy has threatened to escape the control of the socialist state. To the extent that it does so, socialism is undermined in Cuba (maybe the last place there is any "actually existing" socialism). The only thing preventing the explosion of the dollar economy in Cuba is the embargo. Socialism is being partly preserved in Cuba by this reactionary embargo. Is this completely off the wall?
