    lol, I've been to neighborhood produce markets in Cuba. maybe this guy is stunned by all the different boxes of sugary cereals and sodas.

    anyway, whenever US reactionaries make these bad faith comparisons, it's always like Cuba compared to some hyper affluent community in Florida. if you compare Cuba to any US friendly island nation in the carribean socioeconomically, Cuba crushes them outright in spite of the vicious sanctions imposed by the US.

    anyone who can travel there and do a homestay should. the experience makes it abundantly clear why Cuba's persistence is such a grave threat to capitalist hegemony.

      Im looking into Traveling to Cuba as an American and apparently the land of the free over here wants to tell me which hotels I can stay in? Lmao

      I see that the restrictions apply to businesses that are directly involved with military or owned in some way by ones that are involved indirectly with it. I love the excuse they give as well:

      direct financial transactions would disproportionately benefit such services or personnel at the expense of the Cuban people or private enterprise in Cuba.

      The us pretending like it gives a fuck about any “people” lol. It’s wild to me that people believe the lies of this shitty ass country

          Lmao of course. I saw the “support for Cuban people” thing bc it’s like the only one that doesn’t involve visiting for professional reasons. Of course it’s some flaccid cultural imperialism thing lmao. :amerikkka:

          Annoying. Giving money directly to the Cuban state was like the most based part of going to Cuba lmao
