The rich people becomes richer and the poor becomes poorer in a capitalistic/consumer society unlike to socialism where the wealth is distributed to the people.

In a capitalistic / consumer society those who have money are kings. In a society like Cuba everyone is king because everyone is equal. In place like Cuba education is free as far as you want to go.Medical treatment is free. There are the negative sides in both societies but do not be blinded by propaganda from either side.

The clear difference is freedom. Cuba is a communist country. It has a long history of political prisoners and the murder of such prisoners. Castro is an eccentric figure, for instance, he exiles those with HIV to an island. You never know the full story until the regime falls, but it stops the distribution of the Bible. It also erects hoardings to stop the USA's embassy electronic billboard being read in Havana. When in 1989 the opportunity came to look at the Stasi's work in East Germany a jail not far from the Brandenburg Gate was found where women were systematically raped and forced to stand for at least 12 hours a day up to their breasts in stagnant water, into which they had to urinate and defecate. This was a punishment for doing as little as writing a letter to President Reagan. The jail was also a "psychiatric facility" and drugs that induced pain - peach juice and sulfur - and drugs that indiced vomiting were regularly administered to the hapless dissidents.
You can see the jail now, as it is preserved as a memorial to communist oppression, it is about 5 miles from the Brandenburg Gate.
So communism needs terror to keep people under control. It produces gravely inferior economic outcomes, but permits one person to think for everyone.
It is essentially evil, as are the people who are its boosters.

In the US, we have everything you could possibly want. All you have to do is pay for it. In Cuba, everyone has the same thing...just about nothing. We can buy a new car as long as we can pay for it. In Cuba the cars are all from the 1950's.
