About Cuba, and ex-USSR, or current China, I think, they can be defined as
transitional state rather communism nor capitalism.

We traditionally were thought that capitalism and communism are opposite
each other and between them nothing exists. But in reality and theory, we
can imagine transitional state between them, where class struggle continues,
and commodity production remains, but ownership shifts to state or
proletariat-collective. 20 century was worldwide transitional world, in
which so-called communist state collapsed but global anti-capital social
movement greatly emerged and third world liberation struggle leaded
developed countries class struggle. And in past Hungary revolution, or Czech
revolution happened in so-called East communist countries, Thus we
experienced various revolution or resistance in three block areas. But we
must recognize that we still never build socialism or communism. We merely
saw transitional states toward socialism. Even commune is merely weapons of
class struggle as Marx said. So Questioning whether Cuba is capitalist or
socialist country is sterile. Marx himself clearly recognized such
transitional state. In reality, In Cuba socialistic element and capitalistic
elements both exists.
