    A lot of Miami-based Cubans are VERY anti anything socialist/communist. All you’ve really got to do is say you’re fighting “those socialists trying to take over” and it’s a tragically easy way to win that vote.

      the biggest flaw in communist theory is the “temporary dictatorship” part…
      it turns out, temporary dictators never willingly stop being dictators…

        The “dictatorship of the proletariat” is just a stupid name for the transitional period. It’s not supposed to be an actual dictatorship, but unfortunately Marx was a little drama queen from time to time…

      They fled from a country that’s been communist for over 60 years and they’re not big fans of communism you say? Weird.

        I witnessed the dangers of authoritarism, so I’m going to vote for… the most authoritarian douche that I can find"

        Honestly I think it’s time to stop pretending they are poor refugees and treat them as the fascist assholes they really are.
