The first cars are pre 1939. What's the difference between communistas and capitalista? One is a gangster state one is a quasi police state. Corporations are fake entities in contemplation of law. Even the CCP uses them. Communism is a myth; it has never actually happened.

Since I'm 88 years old, I can tell you that going by the years of the cars, it would be more like the late 40's to early 50's.

@@kristensorensen2219 Here we go again... Can none of my films escape political controversies? Why not just enjoy the film?!

Tramways were taken out of service in April of 1952, so these images are bound to be older.

The fashion is clearly from around year 1950.

Notice how all of them are white? Thats why. Now if you were to see mestizos in 1950’s cuba under batista…

Well Batista was not 100% white either. He was mixed race (black and white). Also, I believe white Cubans made the majority of the population as compared to today.

​@@KevinPichardoCompany01 that's true, he was mixed, but that doesn't really mean anything because nevertheless, racism and discrimination were prevalent in Cuba in it's early history. Even Batista himself couldn't go to white majority areas in the country. Just saying.

Muy cierto al país si es verdad que se le quiere se debe respetar y nunca fue respetado cómo lo es ahora dónde su pueblo es de la gran mayoría pobre que no aparecía en ningún vídeo ni siquiera mucho en sus calles pero con un nivel cultural hoy muy por encima del acostumbrado en ese país y unos avances en muchos sectores que están al niveles mundiales en diferentes areas , el tiempo y el embargo se llevan una buena parte pero la otra al parecer no es visible ante tan poca visión y buena voluntad de muchos penosamente para tanto desarrollo según ellos tenían no se sabe dónde quizás en la escasa tristes mentes Grs.

Thank you very much

Todavía tienen mucha architectural buena aya en el sur no?

Thanks for the info!

Yes used to be

@@GeorgeFranquiz - Yes, unfortunately things turned out for the worst for the Cuban People. I read somewhere that they are starving and living in misery.

Restore it to what? The average cuban is faaaar better off materially now than prior to the revolution. There is a reason the average cuban joined Fidel and che

Looks like someone's plantation owning grandparents got kicked out! Cry cry louder

@@mechamedeisa9622 Your mom😂

Having a parasite, like Fidel and,more importantly, those who financed his "enthronement," is what caused the demise - all that happened there was a prelude of what's occurring now in the U.S.A and other parts of the, so called, Free World. I have a friend who visits Cuba regularly and he tells me that the "elite" there live like kings and based on other sources and my own experience, I've confirmed that this is true.

Another communist success.

Thank you very much!

@@Rick88888888 np. i also like all of your other films! its the best we'll get to actually experience these beautiful times

Sigue siendo Bella y sin $$$atana$$$.

Tus antepasados entregaron Cuba a dos dictadores, Batista y Fidel. El resto huyó de la Isla y le dio la espalda. Ojalá las futuras generaciones de Cuba APRENDAN a evitar la avaricia por el poder y la corrupción Y no abandonar el hogar cuando las cosas se ponen difíciles....y dejen la mentalidad de "Quitate tu pa ponerme yo"!! Es muy fácil culpar a los dictadores, pero esos dictadores no se pusieron ahí por sí mismos... tenían el apoyo del público. Asume la responsabilidad.

The Embargo is the government best friend. The real reason is that communism does not work anywhere in the world. The film is from the early 40 not 50

Pues tal vez no volverá, pero si acaso continúa el indigno Embargo Económico impuesto por Estados Unidos desde hace más de 60 años. Mientras eso siga...

​@@salvadorvizcarra769comunismo*

​@@salvadorvizcarra769Que tiene que ver el embargo, con que el cubano no tenga derechos humanos ? Comida ? corriente ? libertad ?

​@@salvadorvizcarra769Tú "El comunismo es bueno pero necesita del capitalismo americano para florecer" 😂😂😂

It was the jewel of Spain next to being the jewel of the Caribbean. Cuba was such an integral part of Spain. My Spanish ancestors would travel there when it was still part of Spain. Losing it to the US was very painful for Spain.

@@luke6263 NOOOO, before the Castro!!!!

@@luke6263 No. Before Castro fucked it all up my friend..! Sold out the Cuban people to the USSR, then to Venezuela and the rest of the World. Just to maintain his own power! But if you think I'm wrong? How are the actual Cuban people fairing today compared to before??? And please get your facts straight before answering..! Six decades of communism, and nothing to show for it! They could have sold their souls for a lot more..!!!

@@gregrodriguez714 if communism doesn't work why not end the embargo and let it fail on its own?

Wake up!

Überlege was du sagst, Mann! Batista wurde von Meyer Lansky fürstlich bezahlt, um die unzähligen Casinos und Bordelle der Mafia in Havanna zu dulden. Unter Fidel Castro gab es keine legale Prostitution und Casinos mehr auf Kuba. Den Leute und der Wirtschaft ging es auch soweit sehr gut, bis das die Sowjetunion unterging und somit deren engster Verbündeter.

Muy fuerte ver todo esto. Es como si fuese Puerto Rico pero más hermoso aún pero que ya no existe.

I'm sorry but it is not the 1930s, but late 1940's or early 1950s.

@@Rick88888888 I dated it the way I did was focosing on the cars - none of them are from the '50's or '40's. I saw Model A's (from the 1920's, and the newest cars are from the 1930's.

How do you know they're Italians ?

@@maukachauka8793 because they spent time in cuba during those times and operated from there

@Tahara-Aichi that's not what I'm saying. They could just as well be jewish. Many people associates the mafia with italians, but there were just as many Jewish mafioso. Take Goldman-Sachs grandfather

Unbright ass does this old coloured tourist video of the specific areas of the capital city really forced u to arrive on that conclusion. Mr.Prosperous do some good research.

​@@magalycordova7934 dude take a chill pill

@@magalycordova7934 Not blind but dumb, Cuba is all DESCOJONAAA

only 6 million lived in all of Cuba prior to the castro thugs revolution.

Shortages? Read this: “The Economic Blockade that United States imposed on Cuba, and which has been uninterrupted for more than 60 years, is product of the revenge of Dulles brothers against Fidel Castro, as a result of Castro expropriating the United Fruit Company (UFCO), more than 50,000 hectares of cultivation (Sugar Cane). Allen Dulles (CIA Director), and his brother John Foster Dulles (US Secretary of State), were a shareholder in UFCO, and were on the payroll for more than 20 years. Both Bros. demanded payment from Cuban Gov’t for the land expropriated at ridiculously high amount, when United Fruit Co. had obtained these large estates for $7 dollars per hectare and demanded compensation for $4,800 dollars per hectare. Castro was also asked to pay the cost of hotels, houses and casinos owned by the New York Mafia and other figures of high politics in the US. As Cuba does not pay, the Economic Blockade continues. “If we can't assassinate Castro, let's assassinate his economy”. Now, 12 Presidents have passed in the White House, and the Blockade continues. Castro, Dulles Bros., Meyer Lansky, Kennedy, LBJ and all that generation have already died; they are no longer here. And the Economic Blockade continues. Why? Why, if Castro NEVER affected the interests of the US people? Castro affected the interests of the New York Mafia, the UFCO and the interests of the Dulles Brothers. The Castro Gov't affected the interests some companies (6 companies), that conspired to assassinate him, but not affected the US People. (It would be an example to say that Mexico imposed an Economic Block on the US, cuz the US Gov’t confiscated properties from “El Chapo”, or from the Mexican Drug Trafficking Cartels). Castro never seized property from US citizens. Castro only seized the property of the New York Mafia. So, why? If perhaps the reason for the Blockade was cuz Fidel Castro was an ally of USSR, well, USSR has not existed for more than 30 years either. Then why? What is the reason for continuing with this Economic Blockade against Cuba? The answer to these questions, in any case, would be: "Cuz a dark power within the US wants to impose itself in Cuba, violating its sovereignty, in the same way that it has done and continues to do so throughout the world with the weakest nations". No common citizen of the US has anything against the Cuban people, but a certain sector of the Government's High Politics does…” Now, If you want to know about the atrocities and massacres of the UFCO and the CIA in Chile, Venezuela, Peru, Colombia, Cuba, all the Caribbean and Central America, consult Wikipedia: “Wars of the Banana Republics”. (From Stephen Kinzer book: “The Brothers”). Write the latter that appears in parentheses, and verify this information right here on KZfaq. Or, do the same and search for it on Google.

It's a shame, a beautiful place with beautiful people.

Sin duda tienes toda la razon

El sistema político socialista donde va deja pobreza, destrucción y totalitarismo. Está diseñado por Marx para eso.

De hecho si pero cuba mejoró mucho después de ser una provincia de España

Solo funciona en teoria en las paginas de sus libros pero en la practica es una mierda.@@andres9559

before what?

Liar

There was always some Political coup or other brewing in Cuba.

you're aware that cuba was an oppressive Military dictatorship, which was exploited by American companies and was a training ground for many criminal organizations.... right?

You obviously never read a book.

Before Batista and his Mafia madness.

Btw Castro was a communist, not a socialist. England and Canada are Socialist.

The madness that improved that vastly improved the living conditions for the average cuban citizen
