Con todo lo que los cubanos han aguantado...el dia que sean libres de la injerencia extranjera... Cuba sera potencia.

@@tiberio1352 Potencia sería difícil . Pero el Cuba será un país muy normal adecuado , con mejor participación económica para cada familia Cubana , yo diría que Cuba sin bloqueo económico mejora y le quitaría también muchos pretextos al Estado . Entonces se verían los funcionarios obligados a ser bien las cosas ..

You use the right word to describe their actions, "terrorizing"

@@AlexisGonzalez-ug9mc since you're so aware of the reasons behind the embargo, why don't you enlighten us a little instead of hiding behind vague insinuations?

Time to end the blockade ..

When you go there they treat you as an important visitor. But go and live there as a cuban regular and you will see the truth.

@@lconnell53 What blocade? Do you know the meaning of a blockade? Or you repeat like a parrot?

@@lconnell53 Time finally to give seized properties back and embargo is then forgotten

@@manjelos You don't get to take back what you stole after your took Cuba from Spain. Not to mention what you cost the Cuban people with your international blockade and military assaults on the country.

That’s nice. How about you also take action like I do (e.g. get people in the USA to vote US Green Party), instead of merely hoping?

@@SimonAshworthWood what

You see Andy? You say that you pray and you just insulted a communist.

Pray for: Freedom of speech, religion, etc. Not throwing government critics in jail Democracy

@@SimonAshworthWood Because USA is not Europe and the US green party does not stand a chance. Sorry to say but that is a fact. And don't expect much even after lifting the sanctions. Cuba already export products to the other countries like Cuba but also the European Community, it is just there is not much to export. Lifting embargo would also bring the "capital" from Florida what is not really preferable when Floridas Cuban start to buy Cuba...

I wonder how you understand repressing and criminalizing Cubans for exercising fundamental rights as social media making them stupider. Is exercising fundamental rights right leaning? Is exercising fundamental rights stupid? Who exactly is to blame for the arbitrary detentions, summary, unjust processes, beatings, the repression of the rights to assemble, to demonstrate, to occupy the public space, to dissent from the government? The US? Who do you think those harassed, beaten, imprisoned Cubans should be blaming? I’ll tell you: the Cuban dictatorship.

Exactly. Social media is the perfect tool to incite colour revolution among youth. It is very easy to use abstract postmodernist, “progressive” rhetoric that co-opts elements of leftism, and those who do not understand global trade and economics, and who don’t have a solid grasp on history and the way that leftist and revolutionary movements were crushed by imperialism and western hegemony in the past, will easily fall prey to the reactionary, shallow slogans on social media and attractiveness of the supposed easily attained relative affluence and widespread higher standard of living in the global north that they see online.

Yes

And possibly from feeds from the US intelligence community allocated to MAC addresses on servers in Cuba. But then again there is already so much bullshit propaganda on the internet who knows?

Patria y Vida

You put this so well!! I'd never even thought of it that way.

My sentiments exactly!!! Remove the sanctions and we'll see what's true and false. But the U.S only knows how to threaten and the other nations don't think to dare stand up against them fearing their wrath.

Yeah, though I mean, I don’t think it’s that countries don’t want to stand up to the US fearing it’s wealth, since the United Nations and most countries of the world have all shamed the US and have called on them to end the embargo and sanctions. I think the main problem is the conservative Cuban exile community that, despite being a super small minority in the US, somehow has a say in US policy towards Cuba. There needs to be some sort of Left/anti-Conservative Cuban media that gets created in Miami and which calls out the leading figures of conservative Cubans (Juan Manuel Cao, Otaola, Marco Rubio, Maria Elvira Salazar, etc.) and challenges them directly and calls out their lies, so that public sentiment moves away and so that less people care about what the conservative Cubans have to say. They should recognize and acknowledge that they are a minority. We have to strike at the heart of their movement, meaning protests, marches, etc. There just needs to be a massive organization effort created, and let the conservative Cubans of south Florida know that there are more of us than they think. Also, no hate to Cuban Americans. I am Cuban, born in Cuba, now living in South FL. I am singling out those who support embargo+sanctions.

Amen. Well said. I just would add one more thought. When has Cuba or any other DEFENSELESS country with socialist policies been allowed to pursue its own destiny FREE of threats, coercion, invasions, attacks, manipulations, blockades, sanctions or outright war, in conditions of TOTAL PEACE AND AUTONOMY?? The answer is NEVER.

@@xwilly5552 Nicaragua's economy was growing to the point it was equal to Honduras's and set to be higher. The competent rich who invested in Nicaragua weren't attacked; the poor were helped, and that help spread upward into the lower middle class and middle class. People who have money spend it and everyone lives better than they had under 17 years of NeoLiberalism. The mess in 2018 (not a massacre of peaceful non-violent unarmed students but street fighting with fire arms that killed 22 cops and few actual students than that) cause an economic hit. Covid's economic hit was not as bad as other countries since the government didn't do shutdowns, but encouraged mask wearing, social distancing, and left enforcement to private enterprise and individual state offices. And the economy, according to the World Bank, started to grow again. The detentions of various people were of people who'd been accepting US aid and advice on how to overthrow the FSLN government. Various people who criticized the government without going to the US for funding and advice on creating riots weren't arrested. So, now in the same boat as Cuba. Cuba began to be less restrictive when Obama loosened some of the US embargos and reestablished diplomatic relationships. I noticed that the current Cuban government made some course corrections when its people took to the streets for two days: more room for larger private enterprises, dropping tariffs on food and medicine brought down by visiting relatives, and work on the electrical grid to improve that. Nicaragua's economy is mixed and focuses on the small businesses and family farms so everyone has a stake in the country. Health care is three tier: free (basic, no frills, triage that favors women with problem pregnancies and people who are in shock from blood loss). It's poor. It doesn't have oil, iron ore, or coal deposits, so every drop of jet fuel, everything made of steel or plastic is imported. Every Neo-Liberal government has done away with the free medical sector and stopped national equitable funding for education, leaving funding of schools and payment of teachers' salaries up to the communities, which worked for wealthier communities but which was a disaster for the poorer locations.

Well, would like to see Norway when suddenly facing power shortage, lack of medicaments and difficulty to buy food. But with full belly in warm flat and fast internet it is so easy to have opinion about people in country what never seen

Yes

Right as that one guy said that he got his news from Facebook, I said "OH NO" out loud 😭 fb is *notorious* for spreading political disinformation

I eat my popocorn, have full fridge and can get all meds in the pharmacy, have car and of course have good computer and fast internet, but yes, I am fighting hitting my keyboard during people in Cuba suffer on lack of anything

Well, from Cuban government supported propaganda can be not shown on the CNN. Well, CNN is also not "the news" but still...

You're not going to mention Haiti? I guess because they are all blacks, huh? Haiti has suffered more at the hands of the US than all those countries that you've mentioned.

Despite Americans who does not like much Venezuela now, Venezuela is narco mafia state. Don't say now if they would be on the US side that would be much better, but this is the truth...

As a matter of fact there’s also one political party in Cuba. Maybe is the one you like tho.

The world is with Cuba??? That's funny! The Cuban people are fleeing and abandoning their homeland more than ever..! The Cuban government has turned its back on its own people..! Largest Caribbean island, most fertile lands and yet cannot feed its own population..? Yeah, lets blame everyone else except the Cuban government's own ineptitude..!!!

Food and Meds are not under embargo and there is trade between Cuba and the US, mostly food get imported to Cuba. Blockade came as Castro confiscated all properties from US citizens and companies

@@manjelos Blockade was untaken to promote overthrow of a popular government. This is the declassified document. 499. Memorandum From the Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for Inter-American Affairs (Mallory) to the Assistant Secretary of State for Inter-American Affairs (Rubottom)1 Washington, April 6, 1960. SUBJECT The Decline and Fall of Castro Salient considerations respecting the life of the present Government of Cuba are: 1. The majority of Cubans support Castro (the lowest estimate I have seen is 50 percent). 2. There is no effective political opposition. 3. Fidel Castro and other members of the Cuban Government espouse or condone communist influence. 4. Communist influence is pervading the Government and the body politic at an amazingly fast rate. 5. Militant opposition to Castro from without Cuba would only serve his and the communist cause. 6. The only foreseeable means of alienating internal support is through disenchantment and disaffection based on economic dissatisfaction and hardship. If the above are accepted or cannot be successfully countered, it follows that every possible means should be undertaken promptly to weaken the economic life of Cuba. If such a policy is adopted, it should be the result of a positive decision which would call forth a line of action which, while as adroit and inconspicuous as possible, makes the greatest inroads in denying money and supplies to Cuba, to decrease monetary and real wages, to bring about hunger, desperation and overthrow of government. The principal item in our economic quiver would be flexible authority in the sugar legislation. This needs to be sought urgently. All other avenues should likewise be explored. But first, a decision is [Page 886]necessary as to the line of our conduct. Would you wish to have such a proposal prepared for the Secretary?2

@@sickguilt3909 lol lib mad

China does, but China also want something back. China would help Cuba, but they also would massive buy land, real estates, harbours, power supply infrastructure, traffic and would after ask money for the service. Like in other countries. Lenin died on Syphilis, and USSR got really fast rid of Stalin, he was "forgotten " in a week or so

@@manjelos what? China does not buy land. Chine just builds infrastructure they can then use to trade with and while that infrastructure might come from loaned money China gives the most humanitarian and easy to pay back loans on the planet. What do you mean "Lenin died of syphilis and the USSR got really fast rid off Stalin" what are you even trying to say?

@@daseapickleofjustice7231 China build infrastructure, China owns it. China buy land in Africa and elsewhere. In the fact, China give money to the countries who can't pay back but have corrupt government who sign the contracts. After they fail to pay loan, China can easy take country resources as compensation. And if you did not understand last sentence, well... And on the end, just google the therm "jinetera", so you will learn something about how in Cuba things works...

I agree wholeheartedly with your proposal, though the banks are still too dependent on the $ and it seems the rest of the world leaders are too much chickensh!t to go against the "mighty" U.S of A.

And then what? To force US to trade with Cuba? This is like force China to recognise Taiwan or Russia to go out of Ukraine. And when you mention now threat of nationalisation without compensation is exactly what brought the sanctions, Cuba did nationalise property of US companies and private owners without any compensation. And speaking today, countries like China would not risk break of trade with the US because Cuba.

@@xwilly5552 The banks who are afraid have also business in the US who can face penalties. Bank, who are not involved in the USA can also not be fined. Countries still trade with Cuba and there is money transfer between and seems works fine

​@@manjelos Don't you get it? The US government is bullying not only private US companies, but businesses and banks around the world from having any reactions with Cuba, because the US wants to ruin Cubas economy like they have been and then blame it on Cuba when it is really them doing it. Do you not care about actual flesh and blood people?

Well, socialist process brought other countries to breakdown, eastern Europe was 1990 looking worst as some african countries

@@manjelos What existed in Eastern Europe was a workers' state only in name and only by way of the basic means of production being nationalized. Without workers' democracy, there existed in fact a bureaucratic police state, which unfortunately most "socialist"countries had become. This trend is NOT inevitable, though. If Cuba WERE like those other socialist countries in Europe, it would have fallen apart in the 90s, along with the rest - and deservedly so. In spite of problems that in fact do exist in Cuba (problems that we in U.S really DO NOT have a clear idea about, because of exaggerations and lies that we are constantly fed through media regarding Cuba), Cubans in their great majority fight to maintain their process. Now socialism in Africa, with the exception of revolutionary Burkina Faso under Tomas Sankara, technically has yet to become about. There was Ghana in 50s, under Kwame Nkrumah and Zimbabwe under Mugabe and Qadaffi in Libya but these to varying degrees imitated some of the mistakes of their Eastern Europe, Soviet, Chinese counterparts. Sankara's govt, on the other hand, WAS building popular democracy. In 1987, internal conflict among those in govt who did not like Sankara's popular democratic process, a process very similar to that of Grenada in 1979 and Cuba at the beginning of it's revolution, arranged and carried out the assassination of Sankara - leading to the overthrow of revolution.

End the campaign of lies about Cuba. End the US Blockade of Cuba!

Lol how'd that go

@@gtneal lol it's coming and you know it!

By advocating for the respect of basic human rights and democracy in Cuba, I would say.

And get good benefits from the government and can afford much more as average Cuban can

Well said! Peace!

@@Southside1234 Yeah, it's sad, but Cuba, supposedly a nation of atheists, has been persecuted for more than 50 years by a nation that calls itself Christian. We'll see. Castro studied under the Jesuits, and apparently decided to keep his own faith under wraps because he needed the Russians, since the Americans wanted nothing to do with him. No telling what he was in private. But he sure had a lot of enemies, which is usually a good sign that you're doing something right.
