Not like Cuba is a free country... It's not even close to it. You say that it's horrible what the US imperalists are doing but do you not look at the atrocities that the Cuban regmie is commiting?
I once defined myself as a communist.. But I woke up one day and took looked at the facts. US and the west is by no way perfect. But at least they are able to speak freely without the risk of oppression. Capitalism is by far not the greatest system, but it's the best we got. Communism just don't work.
You can say you wish the Cuban all tje best in the struggle, but when you point towards the oppressors you are just talking to deaf ears. Yes some people in Cuba think it's OK but I would not more than a minority of the people support the regime.
Was the goverment that was thrown out by Che and Castro great? By no means. And I totally support them outing him. But they should have moved to democracy or at least something closer to this. It's their own fault that they are still being boycotted by the west.
I find it funny just how much bs I see here tbh. It's okay to be a communist but don't for one second think you are not going to get critique.
anytime someone says "I used to be a communist" then defends capitalism, 9 times out of 10 they were a larper who never actually read substantive theory and was just angry at certain aspects of the capitalist system... which their privileges overcame, thus pushing them back to the right without ever actually learning anything.
This person claims to've "woke[n] up ... [to] look at the facts" but really they turned on MSNBC and turned off their brain.
