Bro it's ok it's just like in Django they loved their slaves
I wouldnt exactly call a handful of corn meal, and a salted herring tail "breakfast"
My gramma used to give her slaves handjobs every morning, and then she'd give 'em a cuddle and a lollypop.
This justifies slavery.
treated them with respect and as humans.
Well of course a human is just something you can own.
Imagine the kind of upbringing and mind worms where you don't even get how arguing like that makes people hate you. The gall to say Cuba was "the most advanced economy in South America" when it was a literal fucking slave state.
If anything the parent discussion there is even more insane - the original poster saying how Ukraine in the late 2000s was a shithole so communism bad 🤪
From that same thread:
Marx forgot to consider that equal grades bad
Capitalism is when you have to spend your grades to eat and if your grade gets low enough you starve or are put in detention.
But zoomers are the heralds of world revolution :marx-angry:
Lmao, I thought no way this wasn't a bit, but his previous post made me reconsider. Genuinely surprised there are people this deranged.
It looks like slavery was abolished in Cuba in 1886. I don't think we should be making a meme out of something that's just straight-up false, especially considering all the other bad shit that went on in pre-revolution Cuba. It makes us easy to write off.
Sure...but they just started using indentured laborers to handle labor for dirt cheap, in conditions not dissimilar to those the slaves worked under. So I would be a tad skeptical of the whole 'extension of the family' shtick.
Oh yeah, the "extension of the family" bit is bogus, but I'm talking about whether chattel slavery existed in 20th-century Cuba in the first place. As far as I can tell it didn't. We shouldn't be meming about stuff that's not even arguably true -- all some chud has to do is link a Wikipedia article, their comment gets a thousand awards thrown at it, and a bunch of people who might have paused to reconsider their view of Cuba get to feel like they were right all along.
There's no need to exaggerate and exaggeration only makes us less credible. Just link that JFK speech where he talks about how fucked Cuba was before the revolution. It's a contemporary source and it's pretty hard to call it propaganda when it's coming from the guy who green-lit the Bay of Pigs invasion.
Agreed. Conditions were still deplorable, and rich people were still exploiting the poor; but the technical difference does matter
