Yes American sanctions play a part in why the economy is stagnant but also the Castro regime has been fairly authoritarian which is one of the most common complaints I heard from Cuban emigres when I was in south Florida.
It's easy for you to say suck it up and blame it on America/capitalism from the comfort of your white home but it's pretty easy to understand why people who flee a nominally communist, authoritarian dictatorship to find a much better life in the states aren't the most sympathetic to the communist cause.
They're somewhat ignorant in their assessment yes but aren't we all?
