A banger as always
It’s worse for Rubio. His parents fled under the US dictator Batista, but he blames Fidel and communism
Wasn’t that Ted Cruz? “I hate communism. Actually, it was Batista that tortured my dad.” I know Rubio is a gusano, but if they have a similar origin story that’s hilarious
It is no surprise to learn that this applies to both Rubio AND Cruz.
We could also take into account the shitty (because of America’s embargo) conditions on the ground and the then perception that being warm towards Cuba would get you sent back.
Are there Cubans here who fled cause their Ill-gotten gains were taken from them? Sure. Are they the majority? No, capitalists are never the majority.
Cubans expats have an incentive to bad talk the island, so they’re going to bad talk the island. Sometimes a horse is just a horse.
This is absolutely valid, but I am specifically referring to exiles, not emmigrants who sought better material conditions. These emmigrants do not tend to hate Cuba nearly as much as the gusanos.
More like “Because I primarily speak Spanish and little English and essentially all Spanish media is nothing but far right propaganda and pro-capitalist messaging and has been for several decades.”
You mean ss opposed to English media, which is fair and balanced.
Spanish media makes English media seem pro-communism. However bad you are thinking it is, unless you speak Spanish and have watched it yourself, I promise you it’s far worse.
That’s part of it, too! The ruling class relies on its control of media and capital to propogate narratives that conform to their worldview.
gusana na na na
“Everyone who opposes authoritarianism is a kulak.”
Suuure, buddy.
Can you elaborate on what you mean? Cuba’s electoral system is comprehensively democratic, the authority being fled by gusanos is the authority of the working classes enacting land redistribution, building hospitals, and freeing the slaves. Due to harsh sanctions, Cubans have much less access to foreign trade, stunting development, and in these cases many do emmigrate. However, these people don’t normally have the same hatred for socialism gusanos do.
Everything is authoritarianism
