This is the sad truth of places like Cuba or North Korea. Everything is forbidden to the point that eating is difficult. So people get corrupted and the guards, etc. just want their part.

None of those things should be illegal. It is really annoying to see how a leader class kills people of hunger and make everything illegal so that now everyone is a criminal for trying to survive.

You started a really awful ideological flamewar here and perpetuated it downthread. That's seriously not cool and seriously not what this site is for. We'd appreciate it if you'd please read https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html and not do this again.

Sorry for that. I thought it was not in violation of any rule.

I will avoid the political comments, though I tried to keep the discussion reasonable at all times.

It was not my intention to start any flamewar, less ideological. You can see in my comments rebuttals or exchange of opinions.
