Genuine question but there’s no capital correct?

There’s credits and currency you can use but no matter what you can get food.
Money is not capital as economists define capital because it is not a productive resource. While money can be used to buy capital, it is the capital good (things such as machinery and tools) that is used to produce goods and services.

Okay.
Cuban doctors are regarded as some of the best doctors in the world by a lot of countries. So much so that they’ve become an export of Cuba. 30,000 Cuban doctors are currently active in 67 countries, many in Latin America and Africa.

Infant mortality was 32 per 1000 live births in Cuba in 1957. In 2000–2005 it was 6.1 per 1000 in Cuba; and, for comparison, 6.8 per 1000 in the United States.
Life expectancy has gone up almost 20 years and their Under-5 mortality has decreased from dropped from a rate of 112.4 to 7.7.

Education wise:

The total population has a 99.8 percent literacy rate. (backed up by its enemies in the CIA) Its 1961 Literacy Campaign, within barely one year, one million illiterate people were assisted by mobilising 250,000 literacy teachers and thousands of devoted school children. By the end of 1961, 75% of those one million had achieved rudimentary literacy.
While the literacy drive was underway, school enrollments more than doubled a decade later. Another major reason is because education at all levels, including university and college, became free. By the mid 90s, 94% of Cuban primary students reached 5th grade, compared to 74% in the Latin America.

Fidel Castro could also ball and frankly...I'm sure that in his prime he probably would've broke Obama's ankles on the court

Authoritarian regimes having advancements in certain social and industrial categories isn't such a strange thing (china is the perfect example of this), but that's the fallpit of listing statistics, you can just cherrypick them.
These showcase cubas gov in a postive light, but if I were to only list statistics of human rights violations and different social struggles when it comes to minorities like black people and lgbt people (the latter isn't exclusive to cuba ofcourse, whole latin america has this problem rn) a different picture would be presented.
Cuba isn't a hellhole but also not some communist paradise, and it's former leadership nor it's current should be exempt from criticism just like any other country

very hypocritical for a person to laugh at liberals for their "uncle joe/auntie kamala" nonsense then pick out their own idols

that's not to say castro created bad outcomes for cuba (obviously it's the exact opposite)
