local talk radio cited a cuban expat old guy they know who still talks to the island, saying he says the thing that really got it going is the government upped the amount they skim from your USAbux by some drastic amount so "fuck everybody else, I got my USAbux" isn't enough to keep people happy

To be fair, Ohio is a state of mind.

The democrats and MSM have been so careful to avoid mentioning communism or socialism. Funny how they always stop mentioning it when a communist country is in crisis.

Cuba slave revolt: Biden administration softens but still clings to COVID as reason, can't say that 'c' word​

By Monica Showalter

Well, that was fast.
Seems the Biden administration canard that COVID mismanagement from Cuban authorities is behind the massive protests engulfing all of Cuba didn't go over very well.
Everyone saw the pictures of thousands of starving-thin Cubans clad in rags crying "libertad!" and waving the American flag — a flag they had been taught from birth was evil incarnate. What we saw was effectively a slave revolt, given that these people have absolutely no freedoms, and the uprising was leaderless and spontaneous. It could easily devolve into Ceaușescu stuff, given that nothing will change communists otherwise.
So Joe Biden, or whoever writes his press releases, released a semi-choate statement about the protests in Cuba that tried to recognize reality, but still failed to grasp the problem:
We stand with the Cuban people and their clarion call for freedom and relief from the tragic grip of the pandemic and from the decades of repression and economic suffering to which they have been subjected by Cuba's authoritarian regime. The Cuban people are bravely asserting fundamental and universal rights. Those rights, including the right of peaceful protest and the right to freely determine their own future, must be respected. The United States calls on the Cuban regime to hear their people and serve their needs at this vital moment rather than enriching themselves.

Biden's still sticking to his story on COVID, but now he's got "freedom" in there somewhere. He's now calling the protests a "universal" right rather than a Cuban right because Cubans generally go to jail after protests — just ask the Ladies in White.
Though it was an improvement over previous statements, his claim that Cuba is an "authoritarian" rather than "totalitarian" dictatorship remained disgusting. If 62 years of iron-grip one-party power with total control over every aspect of human life isn't textbook "totalitarian," nothing is.
Biden also writes in a right for Cubans to "freely determine their future" as if any communist totalitarian state would ever allow that — their dungeons are full of political prisoners, the latest crop being artistic community people, such as artists and rappers, who've seen numerous arrests in recent weeks for committing...art.
Worse still, Biden seems to think the Cubans need "services" for their "needs" rather than just chucking the whole evil dictatorship out, which is what they want. Apparently, Biden thinks that throwing money at the problem works as well in Cuba as it does here. His "enriching themselves" line, in an implicit reference to the Castroite oligarchy's wealth, is a good one, but coming from him, it sounds funny: guess he would know about "enriching," what with his junkie son selling his paintings for $500,000.
Over at the State Department, assistant secretary Julie Chung, who earlier blamed the whole crisis on COVID and apparently praised Cuba's white-coat slavery program of sending doctors abroad, has backtracked a little, too. I wrote about her yesterday here.
It goes to show that COVID seems to be fading a bit as the official Biden party line on Cuba, and now the empty statements of "support" are coming out.
But the Bidenites still can't bring themselves to utter the "c" word — communism — as being at the root of the uprising, which would require calling for an end to the hellish, hateful regime that has left the country a sump of poverty, oppression, and unusually cruel inequality.

Maybe the Chinese government will bail the Cuban government somehow?

Maduro's Venezuela is on tight Chicom rations with Cuba providing medical services in return for oil. If Cuba cannot do that, then all they hope for is meagre aid mainly designed to ensure continuance or revival of their medical aid. It won't be a bailout, just a sort of care and maintenance of a longtime annoyance of the US.
