A massive protest movement broke out in Cuba on July 11, 2021. Food, medicine, and electricity shortages exacerbated by the COVID pandemic were pushing an already desperate, oppressed, and impoverished nation to the brink of rebellion.
Demonstrators used the internet-which has only been legally available in the country since 2018-to coordinate action in large and small cities across the island.
"Freedom…I felt free. I have never experienced in my life something so spectacular and wonderful. You had to have lived it to understand," one Cuban citizen, who asked to remain anonymous for fear of retribution from the Cuban government, told Reason.
In the face of widespread protests, the Cuban government arrested hundreds of protesters and shut down the internet.
Cuban President Miguel Diaz-Canel appeared on state TV to call for the violent suppression of the protests against "counter-revolutionaries."
In Miami, members of the sizable Cuban-American community planned to load their own fishing boats with supplies to make the 90-mile journey to the island themselves but were deterred by the U.S. Coast Guard.
So they set off fireworks in international waters off the coast of Cuba instead.
"I think what people don't understand is that the problem in Cuba stems from the fact that people can't do anything for themselves," says Martha Bueno, a Cuban-American activist. "You're only allowed to make money if the government says it's OK. And that's how the government throttles people. They'll throw you in jail if you decide to try and feed your family on your own."
Bueno started the group People 4 Cuba following the protests. They assemble packages of dry foods and medical supplies and then pay people $35/pound to smuggle them onto the island. They've shipped more than 800 pounds so far, but she says it's become more difficult in recent months as the Cuban government has cracked down harder on smuggled medical supplies.
"The big reason that we have to smuggle it into Cuba is because if I send it legitimately… the Cuban government will take that and then sell it in the stores," says Bueno. "I wanted people to receive it, people who needed it to be able to receive it without paying. And I especially won't help the Cuban government. I refuse to fund raise, pay for, and then give it to them so that they can sell it in the stores. I'm not that kind of girl."

That’s how you end up with Karen’s and other obnoxious sticklers for meaningless rules. I genuinely believe this is the result of a mental deficiency. None of these people can answer the question of why something is important without deferring to the dictates of an authority above them. You hear arguments like “well it’s the law!

Was the Second World War worth fighting for FREEDOM? Do you know the restrictions that were placed by governments on Americans, Canadians and British and other allies during that war? Food rationing throughout even America, so that the troops in Europe could be fed. Thousands of manufacturing organizations place under government control to manufacture for the war effort. Many people forced into factory labor to produce munitions and arms. Mandatory recycling implemented to conserve materials required for the war effort. All automobile and farm equipment manufacturing ceased to convert factories to war machines and munitions. Hundreds of everyday products were no longer available. Wages of many industries frozen. Livestock, horses and dogs removed from farms and homes to be sent to support the war. Men in America and Canada conscripted (drafted) into military service. Women in Britain and Europe also conscripted. Britain and Europe forced to respond to air raid sirens to seek shelters. British and European power outages and homes forced into darkness to avoid aerial sighting and sightings from sea. Anyone on the street in Britain or Europe were forced to have their masks on their possession (a big rubber mask with two glass eyes and a 5" diameter X 10" long filter can attached to the front of your face). All military troops were force vaccinated against the diseases of Europe. To refuse vaccination resulted in a charge of insubordination, dishonorable discharge and military jail time. You could say that people temporarily lost their freedoms to support the war, but you should say that good people made sacrifices to defeat an enemy.

This is how most of the diaspora community is seen around the world ,yes you have nigerian, cuban, ugandan parents and the people know this ,they will accept you but never include you .you're a foreigner. now put this in the context of cuba which has been under a trade embargo for 50 years, has had a very anti American government with anti American propaganda. Do you think the cubans will be accepting of a cuban American person to lead a revolution? I don't think so, to them you're just another american but with cuban parents, you're not a true son/daughter of the land

My mother and her family fled Cuba in 1966. I grew up with stories of what Cuba used to be, and what ended up happening, of the starvation, the fear, everything my family of doctors and architects worked hard for taken by the government, some family members being killed in jail. My great Uncle was a high up general who grew up with Fidel in the army, so my family had a harder time escaping with their affiliation, and it's a miracle they did. They left everything in order to give my mom and my uncle a better life where they won't starve and become young communists. I am proud to have Cuban blood, and I weep for my ancestral country. A lot of people in the comments are very very very ignorant and jumping to conclusions. Ya'll better be GRATEFUL we have not gotten to where Cuba is now in the US. They live in dirt and filth with no food and water, and YET all of you can easily drive down the street to buy food, even with inflation and clean water runs from your taps.

@@kwannp6141 End the US Blockade of Cuba!!! 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

@jackandblaze5956 2 жыл бұрын

The US HAS been trying to "save" Cuba since the 1950's, but not for the purposes of setting up "a decent government". The US has been wanting to set up it's own puppet dictatorship there friendly to international corporations like it did in Guatamala, Honduras, Columbia, Chile, and other Latin American countries. The US doesn't care what type of government another small country has, just as long as it's friendly to "American interests" which means free access to the country's natural resources, property, and slave labor, by international corporations. If the US cannot control the government and economy of a smaller country it will punish that country with embargoes and sanctions. Venezuela did not want to let itself be controlled by the US government and that is why the US has been hell-bent on collapsing the Venezuelan economy for the last 20 years. Chile let the US set up a puppet government there in 1973, therefore the Chilean people lost almost all of their property rights, and international mining corporations swooped in to divide the spoils. Billions of dollars have been made by international corporations at the expense of the Chilean people. All the other Latin American countries that the US has installed puppet governments in, have gone the same way. Us set up a puppet government in Ukraine in 2014 that was friendly to international interests. Those international interests have been threatening to admit Ukraine into NATO. This is the thing that motivated Russia to invade Ukraine he cannot allow a NATO country at his doorstep. We are fighting for Ukraine because it is a puppet government worth billions of dollars to the western controlled economy and banking system. It has nothing to do with the freedom of innocent citizens... it has everything to do with the freedom of international bankers and businesses. They would rather have control of a pile of rubble then lose control of beautiful paradise. Because the love of money is the root of all evil.

But the people there must have a chance. And not only to flie but also to change their nations. E.g. in Belarus there are at least 80 % against of Lukashenko but hi is supported by Putin and uses army and Police for repressions, unfortunately the people don't have neither guns nor training. Even according to official pools 1/3 of Russians doesn't support the war, according to other pools Putin's rating is somewhere near 20 % (sure officialy and with direct question you cannot get such answers because it is just punishable). China, North Korea are a bit of mistery to me, but I am not sure that these regims are really having people support.
