Please explain how Cuba is a democracy and the top brass of the government is suffering shortage of food like the rest of the population

Because they have elections aswell and they love their form of goverment. But apparently, when you love national sovereignty, you are a dictator and when you sell your own country to powerful oligarchs, you are a democrat.
It's literally a one party state. "You can vote for anyone you like so long as it's the guy from the CPC," ain't exactly a choice.
Other western countries are also one party states, but with western extravagance so you have two parties. You choice? Hitler's or Mussolini's. How brilliant those "democracies" are.
Come on, make your trolling less obvious. Even as bait, that's too stupid.
I'm not even trolling that much lol. When I look at most western elections, you basically "have" to choose between fascists nowadays.
Elections =/= Democracy. Let me know when they have free, independent elections with international observers
Even when they have free, independant elections with international observers (cough cough Venezuela cough cough), they are dictatorships because American Elites say so. Interesting how the world works. It's like there is propaganda in the western world targeted at westerners or something.
Why don't you do us a favor a show the public statement from the Carter Center and the UN related to Venezuela. Or you would rather show me statements from great democracies like Russia, China and Iran?
Because American Elites say so.

You might want to talk to some actual Venezuelans some time. You may find the experience to be quite informative and illuminating.
