Every revolutionary who laid down their life for the cause rests soundly knowing that an island of 11 million lives fucking rent free every day in the top minds of the US empire, and haunts every politician more than any of the 600 assassination attempts on Fidel ever did.

      120 guys and a mobile phone staged a protest and the Washington post thinks it's 1992 again.

      From what I know, protests erupted over pandemic conditions under the slogan of "Patria y Vida" (country and life) which some communists in Cuba are charitably calling a "mistaken" slogan, though the Cuban government has apparently arrested a couple of actual socialists and inmersed between the protests were legitimate calls to make transparent the whole process of receiving humanitarian aid and calls to revise the budget which currently has twice the amount dedicated to the tourism sector, which is in a historical paralysis, than what's dedicated to science and research (which apparently includes vaccine development). Seems like the US is taking advantage of understandable unrest over the pandemic and inserting counter-revolutionary catchy slogans and spinning the whole situation as way out of the control of the cuban government which seems a bit exaggerated atm.

        My local news literally called it an anti-communist protest to unseat the communist leadership. Even in my little European shithole, the news is so colored towards American propaganda. It's infuriating. They showed a handful of people chanting and one saying "fuck Chavez". It's all so tiring.
