Yeah this is insanely false. I've been to Cuba, people have smartphones and laptops (though internet access was limited as of 2013), soap is certainly not lacking.

Telco equipment, foreign currency, parts that rely on US technology, and so on is difficult to obtain. You'd be a lot more sucessful with a 4G base station, a boat full of crate engines, or mesh networking gear.
