First of all, Cuba IS Western. They even play baseball and wear cowboy hats.
As for the repression and brutality, I have no proof either way regarding the besieged people of North Korea. But for Cuba, I have my own eyes (which have visited the USA many times) as my witness. For brutality, nothing beats school shootings and locking up African-American descendants of slavery. Nothing beats all the genocidal wars that the USA business class uses to enrich itself.
And for repression, tell me how many socialist TV stations, socialist Hollywood studios, and electable socialist political parties exist in the USA. Oh yeah, none. They have been banned by mafia money. All you have is corrupt capitalist enablers to chose from. What freedom. And then, after the election, these people do whatever they want with no public consultation or approval required. What a great place to be a rich criminal the USA is.
The largest percentage of domestic imprisoning (USA), maximum school shootings (USA), the highest infant mortality rate in the developed world (and way worse than Cuba), a shortage of doctors, no food independence, an at-birth debt of two years salary... The USA is doing something really awful to its own people, though its own people often take consolation that at least they're not being as badly tortured by America's elite as foreigners are.
Drowning in shit, you point to the even higher pile of shit your country has sent downstream to "the foreigners."

The West is doing the same shit to people abroad, but nothing close to that domestically.

The goal is to use Afghanistan to wash money out of the tax bases of the US and Europe through Afghanistan and back into the hands of a transnational security elite.
The goal is an endless war, not a successful war.
