Cope, AmeriKKKa. What Cuba has done will NEVER be forgiven by them, the Revolution, in the face of the United States, in a country that was basically a private island for dirty gringos, is a MAJOR offense. It still freaks them the fuck out, because after decades of blockades, an invasion, decades of relentless smear campaigns by the Miami gusanos, the Revolution SURVIVES, there were some really hard times, especially the 90s and early 2000s, but the Revolution SURVIVES, cubans have showed great resolve to protect what they achieved, even in the hardest of times, under the threat of famine or nuclear annihilation, they stood by the Revolution.
They wont stop with the embargo or the smear campaigns (and the occassional coup and military threats) until the entire island is once again back in complete US control, but that will never happen again. The Revolution will outlive the United States itself.
this is probably one of the most clear-cut parenti quote situations I've seen in a very long time lmao absolutely shameless
Referenda are undemocratic sweetie
(This is an actual opinion held by actual politicians)
I expect that "rules-based legislative process" will replace "democracy" within the next few years
In extremely propagandized countries this might be true, since people rely on said propaganda to form an opinion.
CW: transphobia, racist violence
Imagine a referendum on wether trans people should be genocided in the US, or the same issue about Rom*nja in Europe
Nothing is democratic but the dictatorship of the proletariat
Why did Cuba allow LGBTQ+ rights?
Experts say because the whole country voted on it and it passed
Yes but they were also brainwashed cause commbunism actually, so it's still control, sweetie
the people writing shit like this live beautiful lives full of luxury and indifferent indulgence and i'm here 300% capable of writing that regime-affirming bullshit without any of it.
i'm just bitter at devil's advocate moutherfuckers who made a career outta it
cuba is a truly backwards dictatorial country where the crooked government corruptly garners support by the local population by doing things that are good for them
The leaders of communist Cuba strive for power. And they do this by providing for the needs of the people.
But they dont get to choose racist and misogynistic political parties so they are not a true democracy :so-true:
Why are LGBTQ+ rights under attack all across America? Anyway, here's an article explaining how LGBTQ+ rights are a ploy for the government to do an authoritarianism.
Is this like when China exerted control over the Uyghurs by forcing them to partake in traditional Muslim ceremonies?
like when China exerted control over the Uyghurs by
forcingallowing them to partake in traditional Muslim ceremonies?No, that propaganda isn't as nuanced. Minority rights in China are conveniently ignored, try talking to a lib about it. Blank stares is all you get
One of my favorite things to hit libs with is that the "One Child Policy" never applied to ethnic minorities within China. Imagine the U.S. trying to institute a "One Child Policy" on white people, and then tell me that the CPC is a Han-supremist organization. Not that the Han still don't dominate national politics in China, but the organization is clearly willing to do things that are directly at the expense of the Han ethnicity.
The very same people critiquing one child policy will tell you that the world's problem is overpopulation. Curiously, they are mostly referring to people who are minorities in the imperial core :curious-marx:
Also, white supremacy is so deeply ingrained into western societies that people just can't fathom a ruling party that's not obsessed with racial superiority.
I've heard that it was all an elaborate ruse with Han Chinese people doing the ceremonies to mock them. Not from reliable sources but I have heard it
"Not oppressing the undesirables is the REAL oppression!"
Fuck you. Like hell a bunch of Hitler-loving orcs in human skin have any right to fearmonger about "control".
Their authoritarian referendums.
Our democratic House of Lords debate.
Where would we be without the almighty free press like this??? Just beautiful stuff, no notes
The more prominence is given to other rights, the less there is left to give to property rights
Allowing rights to exert control. Experts should know that's an oxymoron.
