Socialist Class

Fidel got a new toy, a US$ 55m luxury aircraft with drinks bar, leather seats, ergonomic furniture, DVD player, armored cockpit and even a special compartment to safely detonate bombs.

Cuba has close to 11.5 million inhabitants, so the individual contribution for the dictatorial jet comes to roughly US$ 5 per citizen.

No need to worry about inequality. Fidel got a second made in Russia Ilyushin jet to ferry workers to and from Venezuela, for a total bill of US$110m, increasing the individual contribution to US$ 10 a head.
