8. And to be clear, Cuba is a dictatorship

Not a representative democracy. “Cuba remains the Western Hemisphere’s longest standing dictatorship. Cubans are isolated from other societies by sea and from one another by restrictions on freedom of movement, basic rights and opportunities.” https://www.iri.org/iri-around-the-world/latin-america-and-the-caribbean/cuba/.

And in the U.S. the Constitution serves as a check on government action. That’s the model we adopted and it’s worked so far.
