Socially progressive policies that the people voted on directly.
Not just voted on, but helped directly write through their participation in the thousands of local meetings by which the family code was formed as a text. This is a kind of strong democratic participation that liberals seem literally incapable of imagining
that's mob rule!
a country can be both an oppressive autocracy and have socially progressive policies
"Please help, my country is oppressing me into treating inferior people as equals!"

We don't even have to go there, just looking at the name, it seems to rank how "free" the market is, because that's all that matters to them libs. Democracy is when invisible hands or something.
Democracy is when you can buy and sell things but especially fun little treats and goodies and yum yums so tasty I LOVE FREEDOM
Measuring how free the market is while imposing massive sanctions on the country very cool
Honestly an autocracy with progressive values would probably do a better job of standing up to the heritage foundation at al. than whatever is going on here so that does sound like an improvement
Instead of answering your question about how America, the richest country on earth isnt able to adopt these social policies while Cuba can.
I will instead call Cuba authoritarian and an oppressive autocracy and not elaborate any further.
