Bro, doctors in Cuba falsify statistics in exchange for being able to collect a salary or to live... I was a doctor in Cuba, I have seen terrible things in there, the identity records of before falsified the dates of birth of the oldest people due to inefficiency, It is super common to see an old man who tells you that he was born in 1969 and they registered him in 1974 as his identification shows... tobacco and rum??? They are good, the best in the world I don't know, it is tradition in Cuba for a foreigner to try them, it is a centralized economy and they put a large part of their money into tourism, if they put effort into making them good. The crime is much greater than what the media reports (by the way, there is no independent press recognized by the government) without reaching the levels of the most disastrous states here... on my part it is not statist at all, I have clarified in all the post that it is not what an ANCAP aspires to, under that same logic I could say that the statements you just made about Cuba are very common of you (which is meaningless to accuse you of being common for that, like saying that it is my previous approach is very statist) In summary: the Cuban government controls all the media and the statistics are not credible at all, take the government's data with a grain of salt from Cuba (so as not to tell you that they are false)
