Cuban's anti-American communist government is under attack by citizens in the street and the Biden admin says its caused by Covid and calls for calm. President Miguel Diaz-Canel calls for the "pro-revolutionary" comrades to counter the movement.
https://www.foxnews.com/world/cuban-president-urges-countrys-revolutionary-citizens-to-counter-protesters

From the NY Times "Shouting ‘Freedom’ and other anti-government slogans, hundreds of Cubans took to the streets in cities around the country on Sunday to protest food and medicine shortages, in a remarkable eruption of discontent not seen in nearly 30 years"

Freedom is an anti-government cry now...

Maybe Bernie and Soros can arrange for an antifa airlift.

No doubt poopypantz will send the FBLie to help Crack down on these insurrectionists.

"Espousing freedom, democracy, and waving American flags? C'mon Man!!! That's some crazy, radical stuff man! We gotta stand with the benevolent Castro family. C'mon Man!"

^^^not actually said by Joe Biden, but he's thinking it.

Yes. Any of us, ALL of us, who have been just about anywhere not named "USA" understand how good we actually have it.

And the MFers like Bernie Sanders and his company are throwing their support behind the Cuban government, and Biden's WH response about COVID is just dumb as hell.

I wish there was a program where we could trade citizens- for every “American” that kneels for the National Anthem, desecrates the flag, etc we trade them for Cubans waving our flag as a symbol of freedom in their oppressed country.

What a world we live in, our Olympic athletes disrespecting the nation and our flag while Cubans proudly wave our flag.

I logged in just specifically to "thumbs up" this. I agree 100%!

True that. But with a caveat… people usually pay to see only the nice part of a place when they go on vacations. Then they come back and blab about how nice it is. Well, yeah. Try going there for work next time, you’ll see it differently when you’re not giving them money.

I’m not talking about any specific place necessarily, but London comes up this way a lot.

I was at Walmart last night, being a Sunday evening and no place else open so late.

I noticed a 20 something white girl wearing an anti-American shirt, dyed hair, and the typical ANTIFA vibe. I felt disgusted that people in my part of the world would present themselves in such a manner. Then not 30 seconds later, I see an Asian immigrant that was clean cut, wearing a shirt that said “I [emoji3590] the USA” and a hat with an American flag on it.

Yeah, that's true. Not even in 'nice' places like London, Paris, etc. Just go on a cruise to Jamaica. That island is 99% shi*-hole, with the 'nice' places reserved for tourists.

For the whole flag-stomping-US-is-horrible-and-racist crowd, go to Cuba and peddle your wares, see how it turns out for you. Or go to Syria and be gay, see how it works out. Or any third-world tyrannical country that will straight-up behead you or jail you if you say "boo" (Afghanistan, I'm looking at you, kid....).

These pro-democracy people in THESE countries are fighting for and dying to get a bare glimpse of what we have.

Most of my cruising and ports-of call were done with Uncle Sugar. My only recreational cruise was my honeymoon in December 1999. I thought the USVI was nice; don't know if it was the US territory influence, or what, but the whole island seemed nice enough. Most of the other places, yeah.

Grew up with a lot of pre Mariel Cubans in Florida, better Americans than a lot of other Americans. When people used to try and talk that commie BS in Miami they got their asses handed to them by some actual people who suffered under communism.

I almost got arrested in Paris. A thug tried to pickpocket me, I grabbed his wrist and took back my wallet and he went and cried to the officer standing 50 feet away how the evil American had assaulted him when he tried to rob me. I was the bad guy in the officer’s eyes.

I didn't feel like it would be long after the Castro Brothers gave up power this kind of thing would start. I think people know there are plenty of companies willing to drop a metric butt-ton of cash developing that place into the next huge Caribbean vacation destination as well as all the other "nice" things they could have. The people know how good they can have it and perhaps this is the time they finally make themselves heard.

I feel like those in power know it as well and know the potential kickbacks from "allowing" such development will set them up for life. Cuba is ripe for a Velvet Revolution style regime change and they'd probably not want to be on the losing side else it turns into a Romanian Revolution.

However, please keep us the **** out of it this time. Just reap the benefits of allowing the people to make their choice.

Predictably, Cuban Americans and other Floridians are marching and demonstrating their support for the Cuban people. I truly can't believe that anqueefa and thug life matters are not out counterprotesting and trying to stir up shit.

International and US Democratic Socialist party are of course endorsing the communist regime. No word from AOChe, Sanders, or the rest of the commies in DC. Pelosi and Schumer must literally have them locked in a closet.

They support Cuba, but they will put themselves in a precarious if they openly do so. Even a lot of liberals are supporting the Cuban protests, so if the far left here in the U.S speaks against the protests and encourages the Cuban government to crush them, it makes it clear that they want a dictatorship here, and it will be a lot harder to continue to push their woke nonsense. They would lose a LOT of followers.

Suddenly the Sleepy Joe and the Hoe administration is getting tough on immigration. No freedom loving, pro-U.S. Cuban refugees will be allowed to stay here if they make it ashore. I guess too much of a chance they would not vote for the communism the ComDems are pushing.

"The time is never right to attempt migration by sea," Mayorkas said at a press conference. "To those who risk their lives doing so, this risk is not worth taking."

"Allow me to be clear. If you take to the sea, you will not come to the United States," he said.

Sea being specifically the "Carribean".

Presumably a certain gulf and a certain ocean are acceptable.

Probably about 90% of communists in the U.S. fall into one of three categories:

1) Those that believe that "true" communism has never been tried, and people like Lenin, Stalin, Mao, Kim, Pol Pot, etc. were not real communists.
2) Those that believe true communism HAS been tried and DID work; that is, the Eastern Bloc countries were utopias that were brought down by evil capitalists and everything we're taught about them being oppressive regimes is a complete lie.
3) Those that acknowledge that communist regimes have to be a little tough and strict, but they only really went after people who WERE threats, and that any former resident of a communist country who claims that it was totalitarian was probably a troublemaker whom the state had good reason to target. The whole "equality feels like oppression to those who are used to privilege" bit.

But there are probably 10%, and growing, self-proclaimed commies who read and understand the history of communism completely, and believe that the mass murder perpetrated by the communists of the 20th Century was the right thing to do, and they fully plan on the systematic slaughter of their enemies if they ever get into power.

Or better yet, Hong Kong. Protestors are no longer prosecuted under the Hong Kong government but are in fact transported to the mainland to be prosecuted by the main Chinese government. The good news is if you or a loved one needs a new kidney, the Chinese government can usually fill those orders on a "as needed" basis. Hearts, lungs, livers and other needs can also be satisfied just as soon as those inmates that are a medical match complete their quotas of nikes and iphones.

I think there's an overwhelming #4 missing from your list...

Those that are blissfully ignorant of any historical reference of what the communists/socialists actually did and have no plans to actually educate themselves on the matter. No matter what facts you show them, how many people that lived under that life talk to them or the mass murder figures you can prove, they are unwilling to accept the fact their position just might be wrong. "Pure western propaganda" or outright lies is the excuse they'd give you. I'd almost say this one is the majority of the people.

Commies in this country think communism means a free iPhone, free Prius, free college tuition, free healthcare and a $100k a year job strumming a guitar in the nearest Starbucks. When it really means reporting to state shoe factory #12 at 5am, walking to the state run grocery store for a stale loaf of bread and waiting 8 months to get an MRI for a potentially serious health condition.66113

I think that encompasses all three. Even with what's going on in Cuba, there's denial. On various websites like Reddit and some news sites, there's a lot of claims that the majority of the Cubans are simply asking for reforms, but that they support the communist system as it's overall been good. They claim that the anti-communist Cuban community in Miami are a bunch of nuts and fascists. There's also a lot of opposition to the Cuban riots, with the claim that Cuba is an excellent country with some of the best healthcare and education in the world, and so those who want to topple the government are clearly far-right nuts.

Yep, I call it "deliberately ignorant". Show them Obama's mentor, Bill Ayers, talking about killing "at least 25 million" Americans. They don't care. Tales about the realities of communism, they don't care. The fiction of communist ideology is all that matters to them.

The Bill Ayers "true communists" who accept and embrace genocide as the means to their end are starting to push into the blissfully ignorant crowd. They keep suggesting things that shock the senses, then pull back and claim they were misquoted when there's backlash. They keep testing the waters until there's acceptance and they can push for real.

For example, there was one group that wanted the California education system to push to teach "counter-genocide". In the original context, the teaching is that American land is stolen and it must be given back to the indigenous people, and the only way to do so is to remove the white people living here currently. However, after that set off some alarm bells, they pulled back and claimed that counter-genocide was simply raising awareness and activism against genocide.

Right now, the number of leftist college kids who really are capable of personally committing atrocities is pretty low. The number willing to die for the cause is even lower. But the Bill Ayers and Ibram Kendis of the country are doing their best to get people willing to kill and die for the cause. The fact that the leftist leaders haven't openly spoken in support of the Cuban government against the protestors shows that the masses probably aren't ready yet.

So BLM has officially announced their support for the Cuban government and absolves them of responsibility for the crisis that led to these protests. They claim that it's the U.S embargo that caused this.

The BLM leaders, however, ARE the communists who will herd people into camps, not just the useful idiots who follow them...
