You really cannot be taking swings at Cuba, there is simply no reasonable way to look at this tiny country under total siege by the most powerful empire of all time, see how much better their people live than any other nation at the same level of income, and declare that it’s a bad thing. Even a cursory investigation shows how much power the people have to change policy, it’s probably the most democratic country in the world, maybe ever. Here’s a short primer
Democracy in Cuba
I mean, just read that section on mass organizations and tell me that isn’t exactly what you profess to want. And this is from 2015, way before the 2022 Family Code referendum which made marriage equality a constitutional right (among various other highly progressive things) and was probably the most democratically-shaped document of all time, having been discussed in 133,000 public meetings across the nation, with 783,000 proposals for changes made by literally just regular people, in a process that took three and a half years and ended on the 25th revision, which was then adopted in a referendum by 87% of voters.
You’ve been posting every couple of hours for almost an entire day, when did you even sleep?? You replied 17 times in this comment chain without even trying to substantially respond to a single point I made. In every thread I’ve ever seen you participate in, you exclusively argue without the slightest grace and in obvious bad faith. Do you think this is how you convince people of anything? Do you think an outsider reading this chain of replies will see you as anything other than vulgar and offputting? What exactly do you think you’re accomplishing here? At least you make your opponents look incredibly reasonable and well-read by comparison. Your next move is to write a one-line reply responding to a single fragment of this comment, instead you should go to bed!

Meanwhile, at the moment, this is you
Your proof that I “declared” Cuba a “bad thing?”
No proof?
How tankie of you.
Can you even read, comrade? The fuck are you talking about?
Still no proof?
He didn’t say he doesn’t have proof, nor did he say he was a tankie. How can you say these things about him, when he hasn’t said them himself?
The suspense is killing me, tankie.
Oh, wait… no. It isn’t.
Hey I didn’t say I was a tankie either. If I didn’t literally say it, how can you claim I am it?
If I was you I’d desperately want to pretend to not be what I am either.
You really don’t get it, do you?
Still none from them, wild.
Db0 has a serious tankie problem.
That’s not a /0 user
I took it as “db0 gets attacked by Hexbear” more than db0 is tankie.
Ah, that is definitely true. They do love to get mald in our comms.
But they don’t attack do or infighting, they sware!
“It’s not infighting if they’re shitlibs”

Lol!
Tankie, do you really think I’m trying to convince you of anything?
Then what are you trying to do?
And you deserve to know that because…?
So it’s something secret?
It’s a secret to nobody - except you.
I hope this lack of a response means you took my advice and went to bed
But seriously what’s your deal
