I agree with takes like this, to an extent. But they don't tackle employment discrimination, cultural baggage making it hard to go outside without being scared, and access to hrt. As much as I think libs are performative hypocrites, I don't fear for my safety around them.
In November 2017, President Nicolás Maduro expressed his personal support for same-sex marriage, and said that the Constituent Assembly would agree to discuss legalising same-sex marriage.
In September 2018, Hermann Escarrá, a member of the Constituent Assembly, said that there are currently discussions to allow same-sex marriage under the new Constitution of Venezuela, and that there is majority support in the Assembly. Discussion on the new Constitution was expected to begin at the end of 2018 or early 2019, but has been postponed since then.
As soon as the entire Guaido thing ends, i guess they will vote the new constitution.
Cuba has free trans bottom surgery, though the waiting list is very long. Had a doctor talk to me about how he is providing training for ten Cuban surgeons onit. He also did work in Laos
Cuba is basically what every state should aspire to be. If not for the incredible amounts of US sabotage, it would pretty much be the textbook successful communism in action that libs claim has never happened and could never happen. (and it's been pretty darn successful anyway.)
Oh for sure, but if you wax too poetic there are people who point out leftists romanticize "the little guy" and fail to acknowledge China's productive forces and poverty alleviation.
true. I also think Cuba has been in a good "rhythm" for a while, perhaps due to its smaller size. Like, it took time for Mao and Deng to essentially pave the way for Xi, who has in turn only really been able to stamp out corruption and get down to business, so to speak, the past 5 or 10 years or so.
China has made continuous progress, where I feel like Cuba moved very quickly to achieve universal literacy, medical care, food access, etc, and then has hit kind of a ceiling thanks to the US.
But I'm also probably oversimplifying. Plus, at the end of the day, it's ok for there to be more than one model for the development of socialism.
If AES countries actually start adopting LGBT rights like they've been playing at, I will happily call myself a tankie.
Cuba is doing that already, Raul's daughter and the current president are well known lgbt supporters

Cuba pays for trans surgery with public healthcare, iirc. Cuba is like a model AES state at this point. I want to see the rest catch up.

It will end when the US and EU re-establish economic and diplomatic ties with the Venezuelan government.

That's super interesting, actually. I've heard people go on about how Cuba has the best doctors.
They're very good at doing a lot with little

Oh, I know, further down I said that Cuba is what other AES states should aspire to be on the intersectional issues front.
