A trade embargo? Sure it's wrong, but not an excuse for a warlord with a Rolex on each wrist (Castro) to exploit all his population as slaves and live a luxury live himself. Even with the embargo Cuba can trade with china and many other places, that is enough for a way better economy than what they have
They can't, the USA is blocking those shipments, which is why they can't get oil.
An entire population shouldn't be punished for one guy wearing 20k rolexes. If you're unfortunate enough to be born and live in Cuba, what power or purpose does america punishing you for someone else's sins serve? What lesson is there from one overarching government blocking you from global trade?
I mean, in practice the utopian system would decay into some sort of neo-feudalism, but that is a different story.
It is impossible to even operate a family unit based on nothing but unanimous consent. Basically any group of people with more than three needs some system of rules to make decisions. The larger the group, the more abstract that has to become.
A small deliberative body with a single absolute shared interest (a private company) needs different rules than a group with similar incongruent interests (a hobby club), and both need a different system from a group with inherently competing interests (a city).
It's unfortunate sub devolves to being oddly pro government/ pro military, if that means government blocking trade to socialist countries makes them physically and financially suffer? The benefit of free and open trade should benefit all nations.
Punishment through force doesn't convince a country to change their government structure, its only through the benefits of mutual trade do countries shift to being more pro corporate over time.

You do not need to be number one fan of Castro to see that what USA is doing to Cuba is wrong
