Curious about non-tankie leftism? If you've got a little patience for 19th century academic style, let a little Marx and Kropotkin be your primer!
Marx's Communist Manifesto, short and accessible! Highly recommended if you haven't read it

Cuba's system of governance does not conform to western liberal norms, but that doesn't make it bad, it's just different. The Cuban people have a remarkable amount of input into their own governance.
I know tankiejerk is the wrong place to be saying this, and if all you want to do is jerk, have fun. But if you're legitimately curious, "We Are Cuba" by Helen Yaffe is a cool dive into kind of how Cuba works in general.
Have you ever met a Cuban person in real life? In what context? What was their position in Cuban society? Perhaps you can provide a different perspective from my experience, I am genuinely curious.

There is a beautiful irony about your "all you want to do is jerk, have fun" statement.
