\n Cuba\u2019s Communist dictatorship has now resorted to ordering every citizen to grow as much of their own food as they can \u2014 such is what six decades of \u201csocial<\/a>ism\u201d have done to what was once the most prosperous nation in Latin America.<\/p>\n

Thanks to the failures of collectivized agriculture, Cuba has long imported two-thirds of its food. But it no longer has the needed $2 billion a year in hard cash \u2014 so truck gardens are being dug even in Havana.<\/p>\n

The pandemic has killed the tourism industry, while the dictatorship in Venezuela has killed that nation\u2019s economy, so the regime there can\u2019t afford to pay cash for the Cuban secret police who help it keep power.<\/p>\n

Allowing private ownership, and significant foreign investment, could have the island economy soaring again \u2014 but instead the government, still controlled by Ra\u00fal Castro, 89, has mandated truck gardens.<\/p>\n

Castro is surely hoping Democrats retake the White House this November to reopen the US cash spigot. But his regime is also imprisoning Cuba\u2019s own Black Lives Matter protesters these days, so perhaps even a Joe Biden victory wouldn\u2019t save the regime from having to let freedom in.\n <\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
