Only los ricos(the rich) will have them. Reality is brutal in Cuba, or so we've been led to believe. Talk about a large audience ripe for escapist entertainment.

If you can go there without enraging the powers that be, on your own side of the street.

Well, if everyone in it is for everyone, and it's all nice...then yeah, socialism works. But if everyone is perfect then just about everything else works too, capitalism, despotism, etc. And socialism gets messed up pretty quick as soon as you have a few corrupt a**holes, whereas it takes quite a few more to mess a democracy up.

# of a**holes required to absolutely screw up a government:
Democracy: > 30% of total population
Socialism: 2-5%
Despot/Dictator: 1 person

At least IMO.

Anarchy could work. If everyone did want ever they wanted, rather than just the elite, then we would all be happier.

Most people are good, and good would prevail.

It's said that Liberals think most people are essentially good, and Conservatives see most people as evil. I think this holds true when people look at themselves in a mirror as well. If they're honest about what they see.
