why do those people praise scandinavia and not Cuba
:us-foreign-policy:
because scandinavia gets rich off the developing world like the rest of us. they're just less stupid about how they distribute that wealth.
and less obvious in their extractive practices. No need to go around guns blazing when you have Uncle Sam for that. Being a stable shipping partner has always been the raison d'etre of Scandinavia, and who cares if you participate in the triangle trade that was the economic underpinnings of the trans-atlantic slave trade , sell guns to Nazis and other anti-communist fascists around the world , held sugar plantations that we then SOLD to the US, not freed, just sold off like a bad investment.

look are they against brutal imperialism or are they not anti west
They are idealists about political freedoms as well as the power of ideas/agency of individuals, therefore they believe restriction of political enemies and foreign influence is a moral admission of failure and malice, as well as an indicator of illegitimacy.
Also racist a good bit of the time too.
Who does?

They’re not socialists, so they’re opinion is worthless
:lmayo:
You could make a lot of deep theoretical points about it, but for me its very simple. Cuba is poor and poverty is shameful for libs and many baby leftists, therefore Cuba is invalid and bad.
They want a world where people can be rich, they don't want to be seen as embracing poverty. Supporting Cuba means "supporting" poverty. It goes against their entire world view.
Scandinavia is rich, therefore there is no shame in supporting them even when some of their values goes straight up against American values.
