    I mean, seriously. The answer to this question is always, “We utterly destroyed, or attempted to destroy, their society.” This is why we’re seeing such a push by fascists in the US to erase our history. There’s finally broad consensus that things like slavery, colonialism, imperialism, and economic warfare are bad, and human and civil rights are good. Since the US is on the wrong side of these questions 99% of the time throughout history, the last best attempt is to just try to keep us from finding out how and why the US government has been a proponent of evil.

"People have to just care for themselves and everyone is cared for". He even said "and if they have to work as sex workers to get what they need at least they don't have to wait for the slow government to give them something".

    The thing that really surprises me is just how calling it a one party system means that even otherwise analytical observers fail to see how Cuba has one of the most democratic systems on the planet, where the average Cuban has many more opportunities to influence policy and participate in government than the majority of Americans, even if the Communist Party is the only Party. Almost like when the goal of the party is empowering the proletariat to make their own decisions, the idea of a Party kind of withers away

      The fact that the people get put first in the ideology is why the US demonizes it and countries that do it. It was the same when Russia was new and it put the people in the driver's seat. A bunch of countries that were warring against each other joined forces and attacked Russia in order to overthrow their government. Same with why North Korea gets demonized. Same why Libya got "liberated" now they are a mess. Same with Chile getting attacked when they elected someone who would put the people first.

    As a Canadian, I've travelled to Cuba a lot on vacation. My grandmother was big on taking time off resort to visit the locals, usually with bags of Manufactured luxury goods for her friends she made since the embargo first started. The biggest takeaway as a kid was that, despite less material wealth (Older technology like Video games and clothing styles) and less access to those things, but there was very few actually "poor" people by our standard, in that most are clothed, housed, fed and have opportunities for fair work. Contrast that to watching homeless people literally freeze to death each winter and it was hard to see how Cuba and Communism was "evil" as America liked to say

      The stick the Capitalists use to discipline workers, give them fear of homelessness to keep people doing things they hate.

      The reason America demonized Communism and Socialism is because they are a power-hungry, profit-worshiping country with a greedy ruling class that wants to keep the workers in the dark that they are being exploited and kept at the mercy of the employers in order to run their cash-cows and be paid as little as possible. Communism and Socialism would put the WORKER'S FIRST! Heaven forbid the people and workers are in the driver's seat because that would mean that the means of production would belong to the workers and everyday people (aka the ones who "get out and push the train" daily). The American people have been brainwashed to hate any system that would put them first and out from under the oppressive regime that only cares about padding it's own pockets and exercising it's iron fist of power. America is not a free country, it's only "free" for those who have money.

The US government told our customer that their assets in the US would be subject to seizure unless, as part of the drilling project in Cuba, our customer had oil spill response equipment and crews on standby in Florida prepared to contain any oil so as to protect Florida's coastline. The customer hired us to provide that equipment and personnel. No US bank would touch the payment from our customer for fear of the anti-Cuban embargo; we had to establish a foreign bank account to get paid for a job that arose out of pressure brought to bear by the US government itself.

    For anyone interested, the podcast Blowback has a great season on the Cuban Missile Crisis and the way this whole debacle was erased from US memory. They supplement their recounting of events with both interviews with people who were in Cuba at the time, as well as a lot of clips from US mainstream media, so it becomes really obvious how the media and state apparatuses manufactured popular consent.

    This series is a GREAT idea. This is something that you can show people who are afraid of socialism because it frames it in a way of why a particular country doesn't like the US. It seems like it'll be a useful series to introduce people to start thinking "maybe the US aren't actually the good guys". Great job Hakim

    I just returned from a trip to Cuba that lasted a week. It’s a very poor country yet I feel very safe (almost to the level of China), people are well educated, no beggars or homeless people anywhere. The last few years in particular have been very hard for them so a lot people have to work in tourism to earn foreign cash. It’s a great country that bears the sin of being so close to US 😢 The economic blockade almost strangles any technological developments as well.

    As a Brazilian I admire the people of Cuba A LOT, and I hope we can follow their example soon.
    But I'm also so afraid of what the United States is gonna do to us if we do, as things are, Brazil is basically the US's backyard and our politicians are all doggies working to please the US, most of them are right wing/far right.
    And considering how big and rich Brazil is, it's not in the US's best interests to have such a big nation so close by going socialist (yes, Brazil is incredibly rich economically and resourse wise, except all that wealth belongs to a very small part of the Brazilian people.)
