Not today, CIA.
Nice try, FBI!
Hissssss
The revolution freed the slaves in Cuba, ended its colonialism by the US, provided free medicine and education for every citizen, reformed land so there were no big landlords any longer, created vast amounts of infrastructure in rural areas that did not have any before this, and much, much more. The ones killed by the revolution were the fascists in the Batista regime. Marxism-Leninism is the ideology of the liberation of the working classes around the world.
Cuba has more doctors per sq. inch than another country in NA. Everybody in Cuba is highly educated despite it being a place where not the smartest people vacation to. Only reason Cuba is not an economic power house is because of the embargo that’s been going on for 50 years.
“How many left countries do I need to destroy to show you that it does not work?” - Every US intelligence agency, probably
indeed. the biggest reason socialism fails is because capitalists keep kneecaping it, not because its a flawed system.
The narrative that socialism has always failed is also wrong, too. Cuba is doing far better than they would have for its people had it remained a sugar colony. China is quickly advancing to the top of the world stage. Socialism does work, despite siege, even if it would do better without it.
Shit I’d argue Cubans got it better then Americans rn. At least thier cancer gets treated.
Right now the genocidal blockade is preventing vital cancer-treating medicine from entering Cuba, so while Cuba does have numerous advantages over the US even with its imperialism, right now the people are being starved and cut off of vital necessities.
should have put “fails” in quotations TBF.
Fair.
Yep! It’s also resource poor as an island, which makes it that much more impressive!
Ok, but Guevara got kicked out of Cuba because all he wanted was war. He was also a bastard to his own troops.
No, he left (and abdicated all of his own titles and citizenship) to go fight against imperialism in the Congo.
Not actual history, but believe what you want. You don’t always want military revolutionaries running a country after revolution. See Stalin.
You are absolutely correct–while this will probably be buried among all the other replies, I want to share the video essay by overzealots that confronts the liberal media’s propaganda/disinformation campaign surrounding the Cuban revolution.
Thanks!
Always doubt your heroes.
And never deify anyone.
Nonsense! Lead them to paradise, lisan al-gaib!
Revolutionaries aren’t perfect, so it’s better to stick with the facist billionaire pedophiles that you already know and love.
Do you know what a ‘strawman’ is?
I think this is more false dichotomy than strawman.
The little voodoo doll things made out of dry grass and hair?
That face when you spread misinformation
Why haven’t you blocked me yet?
How will they troll if they do.
That is why I’ve never blocked anyone.
Who’s ‘the left’ anymore?
I wish I knew
Kill your heroes, eat their corpses, and shit out a better tomorrow!
Humans never learn. They have a bloody revolution to overthrow the dictator so they can install another dictator.
Because his enemies would never.
In international politics the “good guys” are the ones that are hostile towards your enemy regardless of any other shortcomings.
Don’t forget the time he killed a dog
Has anybody ever actually seen someone wearing a Che Guevara T-shirt in the last 20 years? This is such a boomer meme.
I’ve got a Weird Al shirt that everyone confuses for one.
Now picture all those people in MAGA hats still supporting Trump’s police violence campaigns in 2035 when Trump is still in office, and all the jokes are about elections and trying to get letters to places without them being read.
Viva la Trump!
Is that what you want?
So tell me what you want what you really really want?..
A handjob from the spice girls.
Best I can do is a disinterested ball fondling from Paula Abdul.
It’s cult of personality and it’s too much power (or any) over others in the hands of individuals.
At least he wasn’t a pedophile.
Ghandi was a racist and hit his wife. Every great person in history has its dark side. At least Che did a lot of good for Cuba, like freeing slaves and fight oppression.
Current world leaders mostly just do harm. Like, commit horrible crimes against humanity and are evil and corrupt AF.
