International Massive Protests Erupt In Cuba As Citizens Demand End To Communist Dictatorship: ‘We Want Freedom!’

[SanchoMF]

Every one of these leftists themselves to be in the ruling class once communism takes over.

That's exactly what they think ; to be the new elite calling the shots and teaching less-intelligent comrades what's real communism.

"In Cuba everyone except the chosen elite is equally dirt poor : that's a great model to have!"
Said your average retarded Western liberal who has also made her career out of grievances.

She’s not an average Western liberal. I know many of them and nobody with a brain would agree with her.

She is empowered to talk like this because nobody dares to publicly disagree with BLM.

I hope you're right but I know so many who think she's the dogs bollocks.

If lifting the blockade is bad then why would they have supported Obama lifting it?

Who said it was bad?

Sanctions against an entire country always hurts the average person the most.

Except its not against the entire country you can still send remittances to Cuba.

If the sanctions were lifted, it would still remain a dictatorship for the time being but atleast the lifting of sanctions will uplift the country to a degree. Sanctions could still apply to the leadership.

Lifting sanctions wouldnt uplift the country, because the country is broke, the only way Cuba gets out of the hole its in is through private investment and that wont happen as long as its ILLEGAL.

People forget that you cant simply open up a shop in Cuba import things and sell them, you cant simply kickstart a farm etc, etc.

You won't find those sorts of shortages in the neighboring island of democratic, free-market Haiti, that's for sure.

Haiti ranks at the bottom of the ease of doing business index of the World Bank.

I mean its easier to do business in Afghanistan apparently

Venezuela ironically has less scarcity post-sanctions than pre-sanctions because they loosened the currency controls when the sanctions hit in order to attract remmittances and investment and it worked, you dont see empty stores anymore.

If the US lifted sanctions, Americans and American corps can trade with Cuba. This would uplift the public. For some authoritarian countries, the West has used the rationale that increased trade between the West and these countries would see these countries liberalising. Yet this rationale is not used for Cuba.

I think it’s naive to think that the last real communist government in the world is going to happily cooperate with American corporations.

Haiti doesn’t have an economy to speak of but it’s funny how you always pull that line out, as if you can pull off any system without a system (governance)

They wouldn’t fair any better under communism.

Here's a question for you and the other economic whiz kids:

Why do you think a country with so much dirt cheap and allegedly forced labor isn't able to produce enough goods? I mean, the American South never had any trouble turning out cotton back in the day, right?

 

[Oceanmachine]

I dont like BLM but we should not be sanctioning Cuba or embargo etc

 

[ElKarlo]

I would have loved to see his input on this.

I think he has been to Cuba and has a boner for it because it actually is a safe place which is one of the few good things to come out of this regime.

On a slightly related note I despise those tourists that love Cuba because of how distinct it is and don’t want any change in regime because it would ruin their little tourist spot.

Yeah it’s nice it’s safe but that comes at a massive cost.
Seems typical of many of these rich leftists they don’t want others coming in and messing up their coffee shop that has character. That’s how they hide Cuba. And they guard it greedily

China ditched Communism (Socialism with Chinese charateristics) for Capitalism because they realized it makes them stronger.

Trade what exactly? Cuba doesn't produces squat.

This would uplift the public.

Man, ill give you a pass because you clearly know squat. When i say the blockade is of the Cuban government, is because it is.

There is no scarcity in the dollar stores, which the government is using to take away remmittances from Cubans in the island, since as i said, the US never stopped Cubans from sending remmittances home.

You can grab a plane in the USA with a lot of goods and these goods will be confiscated on the Cuban side, because the Cuban government wants to force people with family abroad to buy in those dollar stores.

In fact yesterday in an attempt to quell protests for the first time the Cuban government is going to allow citizens to actually get stuff directly from family.

BECAUSE THE BLOCKADE IN CUBA IS DONE BY THE CUBAN GOVERNMENT.

The Cuban government has no problem procuring items as long as it has cash, but its citizens cant procure anything so everything must pass through the Cuban government which is BROKE AS FUCK.

Remmittances right now are the only hard currency inflow to Cuba and this is precisely why the protests are going hard because the Cuban goverment set a crapload of measures to tap into them and that pissed off people hard.

Remmittances amount to around 3.5 billion dollars a year.

BTW the US does allows Cuba to import from the US essentials like food and medicine.

Because you need law and order for capitalism to function in the first place.

 

[MoparOrNoCar]

Funny hearing the MSM talk about the protests being super spreader events and our politicians telling them to stay home in their country and don't come here.

It can't be because they wouldn't be democratic voters, right?

 

[The XL]

Since the inception of human civilization, a small number of elites and crooked politicians have controlled and enslaved billions. Its absolutely bizarre that they could pull this off, but humans are very easily manipulated by authority. But people worldwide are waking up to how crooked these jokers are, and that they don't have to put up with it any longer.

I thought Cuba was a totalitarian police state. But you say there is no "law and order" there. Interesting perspective.
