    How do I defect to Cuba so that my labor power goes to a place that actually deserves it?

          The Republic of Cuba may concede asylum, in accordance with the law, to those who are persecuted because of their ideals or their fights for national liberation, progressive activities, socialism and peace, democratic rights and its assertions, as well as to those who fight against imperialism, fascism, colonialism, neocolonialism, and any other form of domination, discrimination, or racism.

          This is Article 17 of their constitution, but I have no idea how it would actually work in practice. I am also curious if there is an actual answer though

            Sounds like if I punch a fascist in the face and get a warrant out for my arrest that might qualify me for asylum :thinking-about-it:

              You'd flag at the TSA checkpoint. I wonder if being a PSL member would do it. They were facing SWAT raids here and have been leading pro-choice protests.

            They probably would want proof you had a problem with the U.S govt. and I don't think being in a mass-surveillance list works.

          That's the ultimate question lol. Getting there is one thing, being allowed to stay and join their society is a completely different one

        So you can't just like rent a speed boat, load it up with valuable medical supplies and just fucking full throttle it there? What will they do shoot you with naval guns or something? Like if I was gonna defect I would want to bring as much stuff to help as possible.
