    All of those countries made great strides in accomplishing great things for their people actually, and you’ve just been lied to about them and their history repeatedly from the time of your birth, to the point that you don’t actually know jack shit about any of them but you think you do? You’re the 14 year old clueless girl in this scenario, thinking that Cuba is some evil dictatorship because you were told that lmfao.

      Just like China.

      Which is also a dictatorship.

      Turns out literacy or whatever doesn’t cancel out being a dictatorship.

        It’s a dictatorship of the proletariat in the same sense that America is a dictatorship of the bourgeoisie. In other words, it’s significantly more democratic than America, in that the people have far more control over their government, which is why it achieves better outcomes. The government is more responsive to the people than in countries like America, which is totally and utterly irresponsive and therefore not democratic at all. Cuba is also significantly more democratic than the U.S. and other liberal “democracies”.

          It’s a dictatorship of the Castro family, in a way America’s representative democracy isn’t one at all.

          It was literally modeled on the Soviet Union, well after all y’all insist the Soviet Union stopped doing anything communism-ish and was a straight-up dictatorship. Again - quoting the initial mook I replied to - “just like China.”

          Boring goddamn tankies think it’s a zero-sum game where one thing being bad means the other must be flawless.

            From the CIA’s assessment

            Even In Stalin’s time there was collective leadership. The Western idea of a dictator within the Communist setup is exaggerated. Misunderstandings on that subject are caused by lack of comprehension of the real nature and organi- zation of the Communist power structure. Stalin, although holding wide powers, was merely the captain of a team and I t seems obvious that Khrushchev will be the new captain. However, 1t does not appear that any of the present leaders will rise to the stature of Lenin and Stalin,so that it w i l lbe safer to assume that developments in Moscow will be along the lines of what is called collective leadership, unless Western policies force the Soviets to stream- line their power organization.

            The USSR also wasn’t a dictatorship in the way that you imagine and even the CIA admitted that it wasn’t, that was always just a lie they made up.

            China is not a dictatorship in the way that you imagine either, and is, as I already explained more democratic than the liberal “democracies”.

            Kind of wacky to claim that Cuba is a dictatorship of the “Castro family” when their elected president who is term limited is not a part of the Castro family, but again you have no fucking clue what you’re talking about and are just parroting lies that you were spoon fed since you were a baby.

              Fidel is dead and Raul is 90 and you’re playing gulag apologia.

              We will never speak again. Waste someone else’s time.

                Oh no somebody almost pierced the ridiculous cocoon of propaganda that you’ve carefully swaddled yourself in! Better stick your fingers in your ears and go “la la la” until they go away! That’s how you know that your opinions were arrived at with logic and serious research, and not just absorbing and accepting the constant brainwashing of your bourgeois society.

                Fun fact American prisons are worse than gulags and have more prisoners except for maybe at the height of WW2 you dumb fucking oaf.

                For people reading this who aren’t , like you, utterly determined to believe every lie you’ve ever been told about Americas “enemies”, here’s a little video explaining how elections and democracy works in Cuba. Recently through democratic processes they passed the most progressive family law code in the world btw while LGBT rights are under attack in the US regime.
