Depends on the context. Is a poor person inferior to a rich one solely on the account of their net worth? Absolutely not.
Is a government/economic system inferior to another because the people living under such a system tend to live in poverty? Yes.
I am not going to engage in a puerto rico this, puerto rico that. Im comfortable doing general comparisons but I am not going to go into details of history/politics/economic that I am not familiar with. I can tell you what Cuba is and what it is not because I lived there for 2 decades, I was born there, I know its people, etc. Some, that have not even set foot there, or perhaps only visited for a couple days as a TOURIST (which is a far different experience... you know, dollars and all) all of the sudden are experts on cuban economics and politics...

No, XogGyux, what I am saying is that Puerto Rico followed a path Cuba did not. The path it followed was being a complete client government and unincorporated territory of the USA. The USA constitution doesn't apply to us here. You don't know much about the independence movement in Puerto Rico. All nations want freedom especially if they have suffered under colonial rule like under Spain and then the USA promised us autonomy. It never happened? Do you ask yourself why?
