Cuba Protests ongoing Right now

Given how slim the democratic control of Congress is, maybe AOC can get a few other reps together and block all legislation in the House until Congress addresses Cuba in some way. Maybe they can give that squad a cute name and do press conferences and stuff, too.

For as much attention as she gets, we must remember that AOC is, as popular as she is, a braindead retard. We must also remember that Pelosi is, as hated as she is, a lifelong politician who knows how to get what she wants. How many times has AOC grandstanded on issues only to get dressed down and cowed the next week by Pelosi?

In her official statement, Commie Cortez stands with the Cuban people and blames Orange Man for what is currently going on.

I saw her tweet because some normie cuck IRL friend of mine retweeted it. The replies to her tweet were a mix of insults from both conservatives and literal tankies -- the former criticized her for being a retarded SocDem fencesitter, and the latter criticized her for being a capitalist pig who dare insult the Cuban communist leadership.

I find it insanely retarded The Left loves to flaunt communist nations as self-sustained and autonomous without the help of evil capitalism, yet when you point out their poverty and human rights abuses they blame it on embargos from capitalist nations. You know, and let's also ignore the fact that plenty of other countries do trade with Cuba, too.

"Cuba is an autonomous socialist paradise who doesn't need capitalism...but the starvation is because of America's embargo!" = basically when you see a fat feminist on a dating app who says she's a strong independent woman who don't need no man, except for the fact they're clearly on a fucking dating app.

Haven't Canadians and Europeans regularly been going to Cuba in droves for the last 20 years?

Possibly, I admit I don't know very much about that, so feel free to disregard. Even if true, I don't think it undermines my point very much, maybe I just overstated that the system would survive for "very long" or that it is to be disputed what "long" means in terms of countries and peoples. 20 years is about one generation of people after all.

I think that Robert Barnes is spot on when he said that these kind of regimes (Latin America socialist/communist/authoritarian) start falling apart whenever the strongman departs from power. Venezuelans started stirring shit up only after Chavez died, Cubans after Castros were no longer in power.

It's a fair point. But it needs reminding that said strongman needs a certain degree of personal charisma to achieve that point. Castro had it. Peron had it. Chavez had it. Maduro really doesn't. The only thing propping him up is Cuban mercenaries and money. When that dries up his own generals will put the bullet in him and declare themselves the latest revolutionary heroes of the people.

as someone that comes from a formerly communist society, and with all due respect...go fuck yourself you spoiled cunt.

EDIT: might've fallen for a fake or old tweet I see, but the sentiment still stands. I've seen communism tried as legitimately as it could be, first-hand in a country that the CIA had zero reasons to sabotage due to its insignificance and opposition to the USSR - it's a cancer of corruption that drags everyone in the country down for the sake of a handful of corrupt govt. officials, just like it did every african country that legitimately tried it as such.

the kind that was:
a) part of this mess, which wound up being so ineffectual and such a meme that its existence has been largely forgotten by this point.
b) vehemently anti-USSR and publicly known to be such, despite (or rather exactly because of) being communist - a lot of fears of their agents infiltrating and usurping our local leaders led to a ton of paranoid purges and secret police. as they say - when you're a scumbag, your worst nightmare of what kind of people could hurt you is found in the mirror. so why bother with spy shit against someone that clearly hates your arch-rival's guts AND would be a pain to infiltrate?
c) wound up so much in debt to the US by the end of it that risking spy shit is pointless when they could just call in those debts. I guess our original strongman dictator dying, and thus us defaulting on said debts leading to horrific inflation, was a blessing in disguise since it just accelerated our collapse and cut off our reliance on the US.

and while simpletons will gladly overemphasize point c) as proof that once again capitalism prevented TRUE communism from having a chance, guess fucking what - without those loans we would've collapsed even sooner! turns out there can't be a realistic answer to your economy, when you promote corruption and regular paranoid accusations of fellow party officials of subversion, just to get their party-awarded villas. all you get is eating your own and stealing from the population at large and so long as there is a 'strongman' that keeps everything in line with a strong fist and a secret police, it can bleat all it likes about being a communist utopia...until the day that strongman dies and then, sooner or later, chaos reigns.

Even some third world African countries (with desirable resources) are now under neoliberal control by multinational companies. Cuba doesn't have those kind of resources though so they might leave them alone.

Cuba doesn't have resources because of communism.
