    As always the CIA amplifies and foments any legitimate form of protest or dissent into some regime-ending catastrophe for communism, and the press and social media sphere dutifully acts as its stenographers.

    If you've spent any time on twitter, you'll have seen the vastest array of the most asinine contradictory takes like:

    "Why don't we ask Cubans living in Florida what it's like under communism?"

    "The fault is of communism, not the sanctions"

    "We must end communism before the embargo"

    "We gusanos from Langley Cubans long for paid American healthcare, and immediate elections"

    "As an anarcho-succdem who has never set foot outside of San Francisco, I am deeply concerned about the brutal human rights abuses occurring in Cuba, and since all states are bad, we must destroy this state, as it small and weak"

      Probably the most accurate and succinct way of explaining things. I've seen other people point out that if these protests in Cuba constitute a need for regime change, then did 'Stop the Steal' not constitute the same? A minority of ultra nationalist protestors who want a more conservative governance.
