I have a ton of respect for Cuba. They're remarkably plucky, given that the US has spent decades trying to strangle them to death.

Yeah, they've also seemed to follow Fidel's model of willingness to reflect and grow. Early Cuba was brutal, before and after their revolution. Fidel did and ordered horrible things, but he changed and showed remorse as he aged. That trait made him stick out to me among world leaders as someone who genuinely wanted what was best for his people and country. He also seemed to try to not rob the country blind as so many in positions like his do.
I wish nothing but the best for my neighbors in Cuba. I know they're going through more rough times, but they're tough as all get out and I suspect that they're far more likely to eventually move to a stateless, moneyless, and free society than any other nominally communist nation at the moment. And to my trans siblings in Cuba, congrats
