Actually you're right. I'm did a little bit of reading on another forum. This is a user on this question.
"What do most Cubans think about their government?"
"Any citizen of any country will be proud of their country. There is no exceptions. I guess that the Cuban living in Cuba must be proud to live in Cuba and be a Cuban . I have met many Cuban when I go to an international conference and I see they behave as if their country is the best. Of course they like to have luxury items , but if everybody has all the same luxuries there is no jealousy among the people. Of course the opinion of the USA is from those exile Cubans. They are fanatics, they are against anything Castro or Cuba. But look at the Pope , he is an Argentinian and he doesn’t condemned the Cuban, They are all Catholics. We are NOT the Lord and has to judge people to our standards. Obama was trying to open this country, but this administration continue wants to punish these poor people.
[If you study history, Fidel was not a communist when he made the coup =- however the US government choose Batista’s side and Castro has to go to Nikita.]
The people from Latin America, many of them admire the Cuban. A country under isolation by the USA but still manage to survive and give their population a decent living standard. Compared to many countries in Latin America especially those natives or those of color other than white, envy the Cuban people and their struggle for their country.
This is the reason why many people in Venezuela, Columbia [ Chez Guevara], Bolivia, Chili, Peru and also those in Brasil want to have social equality like in Cuba. [Just to tell you the truth the Drug trafficking is the result of the injustice in Latin America] I have been to many OAS meetings and I know the climate among them all. Compared to Cuba, countries like Guatemala, Honduras, El Salvador are just like hell. Nicaragua has a socialist government once but because of the Monroe doctrine it returns to capitalist. However now it is Daniel Ortega again the socialist that is president. Just think why is he back and the people choose him.
We as an outsider could not and may not judge another country and classify them as something bad or poor. We don’t like communism because it will destroy the fighting spirit of the population. We don’t like to live on the brink of starvation, We don’t like to live under a totalitarian regime. However those people have no better choice so they have to like their system.
Remember the crime rate in Cuba is relative very small compared to the US or to Columbia or any other country in the America’s. [there is nothing to rob or steal]
Our question must be : Why aren’t we condemning the Saudis. Their women are forbidden to drive , cannot go out without a male family member, their schooling is limited. Why is the government not putting sanctions on the Saudis for murdering a US permanent resident. This administration is even praising the dictators and handle them with soft gloves. The Saudis are the reason that we have all those Muslim fanatics all over the world bombing anyone and everyone. Try to visit their peninsula as a non Muslim. You are a pariah in that country. and if you work for them you are forced to live in the ghetto for foreigners with the excuse for our own safety.
Back to the question.
A Cuban could ask an American [US] citizen - do they like this government. You have two possible answers to choose, depending on your color, ethnic group, religion, education level, location where you live and income level.
I hope the person asking will realize how silly this question is or sound"

So yeah, among other things, he is basically saying there that the USA would turn Cuba into Haiti, into el Salvador or Mexico with a high crime rate, the cartels ruling, and into a complete sbithole of a Latin country as per usual as the USA does. He is probably right.
