Contrast this with the United States, which does a huge amount of trade with the world and then funnels all of that profit to the poor... /s

If that's the case, and the US is "The Devil Incarnate," as you say then why are the Cuban hardliners always complaining about the embargo. In my view, all the elites in and out of that island are slowly coming to the realization that their free meal tickets are coming to an end. Historically speaking, the people at the top of declining regimes have always sacrificed those at the bottom of the chain to save their own skins. From my vantage point, you appear to have placed all your money on a dead horse. I would not be surprised to see Public Trials in a future free Cuba to deal with those that have committed crimes in the name of "El Comandante." This is very likely if the US decides to Annex the island. If annexation or some kind of deal occurs, then extraditions are also a high likelihood. Why because billions of dollars will be on the line and money talks. This is just the reality, like it or not. I don't know what's going to happen, but I'd be worried if it were me in that position.
