Communism is never about equality, it is about a two-tier society where a small scab of elites control all the wealth, while the population experiences equality of outcome in misery, poverty and subjugation.

But anybody who's actually lived in a communist regime knows how this movie ends: with a sudden, hitherto unforeseen collapse of the regime.

The Cubans may finally be ending their experiment in communism while the rest of the western world seems intent on commencing one.
