After the disintegration of the Soviet Union, the people became more United, gradually improved their lives and strengthened their ideological education. Most people agree with Cuba's socialist system and have no objection. The suppression and blockade of the United States have little impact on Cuba. Therefore, Cuba's ability to withstand wave after wave of sanctions and develop to this day is the result of good leadership, correct policies and popular support.
Venezuela, with almost no decent industry, relies heavily on foreign trade and has oil resources to sell oil for foreign exchange and buy goods. When the oil price rises, it is very rich and the welfare is surprisingly high. Almost lead to productism, extravagance and waste. Falling oil prices, soaring prices and declining living standards have caused public dissatisfaction. The west took the opportunity to cultivate the opposition and proposed to overthrow the legitimate government. Maduro has the support of the army, and the opposition is powerless for the time being.
In the past few decades, because Venezuela did not attach importance to economic development, the country basically had no industrial base to be proud of, and there was no feasible development plan for national development. Decades have passed, and there is no reliable industrial and agricultural foundation. Many basic daily necessities still need to be imported. The only export resource is oil. When oil prices fall, the country's foreign exchange income decreases, and there is no money. To improve people's lives, the blockade and sanctions imposed by the United States will add insult to injury, and internal division and turmoil are inevitable. Congenital deficiency, not comparable to Cuba.
