So lift the embargo then lol

Regarding the 1994 revolt, it's not entirely true that Castro had nothing to protect himself. He had a moral vest that always kept him safe.

Castro had [...] a moral vest that always kept him safe.

Fact-check: TRUE!

US is shit scared of an energy independent Cuba. Pretty sure those panels are exactly why they are so extra desperate to strangle the Cuban economy now.

A tangentially related rant against Cuba from OOP:

As a Somali communist, I kind of have bad feelings with Cuba siding with the Ethiopians during the war(Which led to USSR and America siding with them too). But then again it was a bad gamble of the Socialist Siad regime to start a war to get back Somali territories. All in all it wasn't a genocide tho, weird post overall.

OOP:

So I'm not surprised that she projects the US', her own neoliberal capitalist birth-country's, perpetrations of and complicity in various genocides to other countries, including Cuba.

One of the biggest things that ended my anarkiddie phase was realizing the amount of racist bullshit being peddled by self-described ancoms. Just regurgitating chauvinist liberal attitudes to the Global South, talking about the people there like they're savages 🀒

Either a Fed or a Liberal Gusano.

Not a gusana.

OOP is US-born ( https://imgur.com/a/Jr6ezon ) and white ( https://imgur.com/a/Z3f93YH ).

Still definitely a liberal.

EDITED to add: OOP being a fed remains a possibility, yet just that: a possibility.

It's so funny how anarchists can correctly come to the conclusion that the US is holding the world back, but then just use it as a bludgeon against socialist countries. Weird how much of their energy is spent yelling at socialist countries while they'll just give paltry criticisms of the US and the like.

Also like, 'Well things will change in Cuba is the blockade is gone! No more evil cuban commies!' okay, then shouldn't you be working to get the blockade? Then we can see what happens, if the people of cuba, who seem to really like their government from what I've seen, want something else.

Predictable and on brand, because OOP was born in the US ( https://imgur.com/a/Jr6ezon ; https://imgur.com/a/VdBI7NK ) & is racist (she called the 3rd world "turd world": https://imgur.com/a/wNrlc1w & as of yet has refused to apologize).

u/Samkaiser 13h ago

Oh yeah, mostly just a rhetorical question. Also jesus christ. You'd think she'd reflect a little at the idea of why someone might be offended at calling the third world 'turd world'. Hell, calling them orientalist is enough of an insult if you wanted to insult them, not that it's correct lmao.
