50% of the population, that’s massive
0.06% of the global population
Yeah too bad they can’t get together like this to turf out their government
At this point, I’d trade Cuba’s government for the United States.
edit: deleted posts, sorry guys it’s just too much to get a flood of people come at me, there’s no time to respond to all of them and quite frankly I try to avoid talking about the US anyway
Most of the issues with Cuba’s poverty stems from sanctions. Those sanctions are in nobody’s interest except a few Cuban expats in Florida. Who at this point are the descendents of people who were kicked out for largely good reasons.
As for human rights abuses, we don’t even need to make the comparison between the US and Cuba on that one.
This sounds awfully simplistic.
“What about the US?” is not a real arguement. We are discussing Cuba, not the US, Botswana or Uruguay.
The Cuban regime is brutal and authoritarian we minimal respect for human rights.

The US government has literally been doing that for longer than I’m alive.
Slavery is considered an acceptable form of punishment and our so-called “Justice” system regularly executes innocent people.
Don’t need to even go that far, US police regularly execute random people on the street as well.
Have you been paying attention to what’s been going on in the US? And not just with Trump. Making sure black people lack a voice in the government has been a goal backed by violence for a long time.

Sending them out of the country to internment camps, where he gets to look the other way if bad things happen, never see their families again seems awful close, and that’s already happening.
Saving this for November 2026 when a “something” happens to where elections will be delayed
The poverty is the result of the US economic siege war, don’t pretend like they did it to themselves.
That’s because they don’t want to.
We like to think life in America is so much better than that in Cuba, but have you tried being poor in America?
but have you tried being poor in America?
… have you?
Jesus Christ.
I live well-under the poverty line. It’s bad. I also know it’s nowhere near as bad as an average existence in Cuba.
Read up. Read personal accounts. Check economic statistics.
Just by living in the US, we are immensely fucking privileged.
Why do you think they are celebrating? I was just wondering what your take on May Day is. Why do you think they are able to cheerfully celebrate despite the lack of fuel? Why do you think holding down a people economically would make them change their minds on their system of governance? I wonder what your take on all that would be.
