What if they don't have the means to travel away from Cuba because they were never allowed to accrue wealth? Couldn't that been seen almost similarly to "wage salves" in the sense that "they can go elsewhere if they want!" (But really they don't have options or means to exit because the state system defacto reduces their options)

maybe? a u.s. government corporation (FDIC) currently manipulates the cost of credit to reduce options for their citizens to afford a home for their families. the u.s. state also works with private corporations in keeping criminals out of the work force by prioritizing hiring folks without a record, reducing their options too.. Cuba's particular situation is a cruel blockade by the u.s. that bars them from accessing credit markets and disincentivizes companies from doing business with them or shipping anything into or out of the country easily, so its a capitalist fascist empire state that is ultimately preventing any kind of wealth accumulation from happening in Cuba, not any kind of socialist government suppression of economic development. there are lots of private cooperatively run enterprises in Cuba. a lot of these folks get help from family outside.

until the capitalist state is abolished we will all be wage slaves.

Under socialism in Cuba you could get personally rich enough to leave?

yup, why wouldnt you?
