Why is Cuba still having such number of miseries after 60 years 
under the Castros rule ? 

It is  evident  that the cuban dictatorial regime is going through another period of Economic distress, despite the many years of Economic help it was getting from Venezuela's government by the byass 
getting a very cheap deal for its OIL supplies at a rate of over -- at first -- 100,000 or more, now reduced to 55,000 barrels daily.
How  des the cuban regime pays for this OIL ? 
The cuban regime has been paying to Venezuela with hundreds of cuban MDs doctors , school teachers and other of human resources sent from Cuba to help the Venezuelan Chavez regime and then to his successor  Nicolas Maduro, 
In exchange, the Castro regime has not only provided medicine and education to Venezuela but has also offered the experience of Cuban Intelligence or Security Police agents that helped keep both Chavez and now Maduro in power.
The deal was that Caracas used oil to pay for the services of the tens of thousands of Cuban medical personnel assigned to work in Venezuela. But the program, which at one point cost Venezuela more than $5 billion per year, also paid for Cuban assistance with intelligence and national security needs.

 Despite this amount of revenues and its own ones, the cuban regime is , as it has been for all these last 60 years,depending of FOREIGN AID and such low prices in its importations as is was the case during the Soviet Union assistance and now Venezuela since the  late 1990s.

 Venezuela continues to supply Cuba with around 55,00 barrels of oil per day, costing the nation around $1.2 billion per year, an unthinkable generosity when 9 million Venezuelans are reporting that they can only afford to eat once a day. 
For all these concepts or assistance to the Venezuelans the cuban regime has been getting $2,5 or more billions dollars every year from Venezuela.

Yet  miseries  cover  the Cuban people  like never before.And all over  the  population  is suffering the scarcity of many of the  essential consumer goods, foodstuff, medicines and services all of which has made the people desperate and to manifest  their rage and frustrations on the streets .. for  whomever wishes to listen to them...! 
Why is that  a nation with such a  benign climate,  almost  80% of its territory is made of  fertile and  workable lands can not suffice to produce and supply its population with most of the  food staples, produce, fruits etc  from those  lands?  And as if this  wasn't  enough, Cuba is  surrounded by seas full of  fish, sea food  but the Cubans can hardly  see the products  of its surrounding  seas at their own tables.
Just ask yourself why  is this? When Cuba  has a pretty  strong fishing  fleet  going to the Caribbean, Atlantic and even as far as the coasts of Africa !!!
In what respects to food stuffs what the Cubans get is the second  or third rate of everything the  regime  produces and  most of it under the control of the State.which then export  to many  other nations the best parts of whatever they can produce.

But while the Venezuelan supermarkets shelves are empty Venezuelans too, are suffering scarcity or a total lack of goods, and in a contradiction to this scarcities , one can see a few Venezuelan agricultural products in foreign markets, Europe and North America. 
All of this  happens in countries  that deprive their people from their rights to own  private properties. 
Countries like Cuba and Venezuela  which had stolen productive properties such as farms, industrial plants and  commercial ones from their  true owners and destroyed their productions by installing in all of them State Administrators to run them.

The failures we can see in the huge majority of the cases and when one sees the populations are starving or lacking most of their  foods needs and all kinds of consumer's goods.

The case of Cuba  has been much more  dramatic, because Cuba in the 1950 s was exporting  several kinds of agrarian products like ,sugar ,cattle and meat, vegetables and fruits, tobacco, coffee alcohols, refined sugar, rum cacao,textiles,cement etc etc.
while at the same time sufficing the domestic or Cuban people's demands of  all those products..
.....and then a HUGE DIFFERENCE SINCE CASTRO TOOK OVER and began rationing the population til this very same day.

How comes that the  Cubans can not suffice themselves in their food needs but can produce and export to the foreign markets ?

The answer is very simple. he State run productive means are not sufficient and most of its products go to the foreign markets.
Also, in most cases  there is the neglect, the incompetence and  lack of incentives to the state workers in those  farms, industrial plants or fishing fleets.
 The most  terrible and incredible things  are that the same regime does not give a damn for what the population is going through. 
Never before the Castros there has been such scenes of miseries, building in ruins or on the verge to collapse, streets  full of  mountains of garbage, terrible urban transportation conditions, lack of housing and rotten  public services...
that only Cubans  know about  because they are the ones that have to deal with these miserable situations on a daily basis.

And when one sees all of these issues and WHY they are happening then one must ask the regime WHY it does not take action to change them ???
The answers  are obvious too!!!!

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
VENEZUELA ,Output has continued to stagnate since the deals were signed, dropping to 1.46 million barrels per day in November from more than 2 million at the end of last year, according to OPEC figures, in a sign of the company’s struggles under military rule.
Venezuela - forced Cuba’s state-run oil company Cupet to cut operations at its 65,000-barrel-per-day Cienfuegos refinery, where Venezuelan state oil company PDVSA had a 49-percent stake until August. It only refined 24,000 bpd of crude last year, according to official numbers.
We delivered in 2017 three times 700,000 barrels, a total of 2.1 million barrels to Cuba,”

Omar Maaliou, 
Sonatrach's vice president in charge of trade and marketing, told Reuters.Jan 10, 2018
Algeria sends more oil to Cuba as Venezuelan supplies fall
ALGIERS (Reuters) - Algeria sent 2.1 million barrels of crude oil to Cuba last year and will ship the same amount in 2018, an official at state energy firm Sonatrach said on Wednesday, helping Cuba to offset lower supplies from the island’s closest ally, Venezuela.
The island annually imports some $200 million to $300 million of oil products from the African country, including some purchases of naphtha.
Cuba has also been buying oil products from Russia’s Rosneft, which recently started talks with the Cuban government on exploring partnerships there.
Cuba, which produces extremely heavy crude used by industry and power plants, received 103,226 bpd of oil from Venezuela in the first half of 2015, according to the same data.

PDVSA, whose full name is Petroleos de Venezuela SA, did not reply to a request for comment.
Venezuela’s oil shipments to Cuba have been falling since 2008, when they peaked at 115,000 bpd mainly due to a decline in crude exports. The poor shape of Venezuelan refineries cut into fuel exports this year, and Venezuela has also had to boost fuel imports to meet domestic demand.

Even though Venezuala's Economy is failing and in spite of this the government will not sacrifice oil subsidies to Cuba due to its commitment to the socialist alliance. maduro's regime won't stop subsiding Cuba because Cuba supplies Maduro the repressive experienced security agents he needs to survive.

 For Cuba, the fall of Maduro would be a huge blow.
 According to a Reuters report, PDVSA has resumed supplying oil to the island; an amount that this year has totalled 11.74 million barrels – about 49,000 a day. What’s more, between June and August this reached 4.19 millions
