The embargo has helped Castro stay in power. What would he say to the starving population if the embargo was over. That its still America's fault. I think not.
Cuba was not perfect under Batista but the people still had some sort of freedom and liberties. They lived as they saw fit. Not like Cuba today. If you are cutting sugar canes now. You will be doing it for the rest of your life. What is the incentive to work hard? Why else has Cuba's sugar production in a 50 year low?
Under Batista, you were able to buy you own piece of land and live as you chose. If you are a doctor now in Cuba, they prefer to drive a taxi because they make more money than being a doctor.
By the way, my point was to show how the Hollywood Elite is out of touch. Cuba is a whole matter onto itself.
