Because shock leaders of autocratic regimes fucking lie when it's in their interest to.
Of course, the country they came from isn't socialist. Cuba wasn't even an attempt at Socialism. Sure its leadership uses aesthetics of Socialism (sovietism) and its ruling party tries to say that it's socialist but when you actually try to find any actual Socialist policies that are exclusive to socialism and not just something any autocratic regime could pull off. You never find anything.
It really is proof of how unintelligent the modern right is.
You think it’s fun, being trapped in a socialist nightmare??
It is.
