      We could do a week long struggle session about whether gusano is a racial slur or not

        I don't recall that ever coming up here. I think it's obscure enough that most people who aren't left don't know about it.

          It comes up often from the Destiny/wider live-streaming community because it’s their way to hit left with racism accusations so they still feel like the “truest left” political formation despite being radlibs at best. I just know that’s a fight we wouldn’t walk away from

            Weird. Good thing we can't systemically suppress the descendants of right wing Cuban-Americans who previously owned property under the Batista regime.

            How could it even be racist it refers to a specific political group, not all Cubans. You have to be an anti-communist chud, preferably from Miami, who specifically hates Cuba because they stole your pappap's mob casino.

            I just know that’s a fight we wouldn’t walk away from

            Yeah.

            That would be a whole ass thing.
