Wonderful, isn’t it? Man those Cubans sure are living the good life!

Back there is just one thing that doesn’t quite make sense to me that I’m hoping you can help me with... If socialism and communism is so great, how come every year thousands of Cubans are risking their lives to seek asylum in America on little dinghy boats? I mean they got “free” healthcare, food, housing, higher education, and universal basic income over there. Do they not know how good they have it?
Notice how people don't flee capitalist countries in makeshift boats.. to get to socialist countries?

Weird.
