They are not Marxists or Communists. They are degenerates of self-indulgent Western society. Carl Marx or any other bearded Marxist from Friedrich Engels to Fidel Castro had nothing to do with it. Perversion is not an ideology. This is a product of Western capitalist society. People need to own up.

American far left progressives and Marxists maybe, but apparently Cuban Communists feel different. At least according to Human Rights Watch

Now being gay is capitalism's fault. laughable
There are gays everywhere, but not a single communist country has put them on the pedestal, holds parades in their honor, designates national monuments and trying to erase the whole concept of human gender.

Because in a communist country the communists don't need the useful idiots to gain control, they already have it.
At the current stage of their takeover of the US it is useful for them to divide Americans into as many competing factions as possible.
Rest assured, once they have power all that will change.

We have the same thing and always did. Jan.6 repressions, McCarthyism, numerous supressions of rebelions and uprisings. Maybe not on the same scale, but our neighbors are not trying to assasinate our president and overthrow our government. I can understand their concern.

Nothing will happen, because the majority is pro-government and Cuban government knows how to counter our dirty tricks.
Our two political parties dividing people into two camps and pitting them against each other. Our political system is doing that, not the communists.

Only one of our parties is doing the "identity politics" thing, and the people in charge of that party are closet communists.
One party is focused on racism. There are a whole bunch of other issues, where both parties promote a division. Unions, environment, abortions, religion, everything is politicized, even pandemic. Admittedly one party is more outrageous than the other, but both parties thrive on dividing people. This is our system, always was and always will be. Other countries chose a path of National unity. We want to force our way on the entire world.

Cuba has lower infant mortality rates then United States. The average life span is comperable to United States and Canada. No other country in Latin America can make the same claim.
Health in Cuba - Wikipedia
Child health'''' Cuba has excellent child health as illustrated by its low child mortality rates. Child mortality rates (under 5, infant and neonatal) in Cuba have all been lower than in the USA for many years. WHO figures for 2016 for under 5 child mortality (U5M) show that Cuba has a U5M rate of 5.5 per 1000 live births, whereas the USA has a U5M rate of 6.5 and Costa Rica a rate of 9.7.[25] Cuba has the second lowest U5M in the Americas behind Canada with a rate of 4.9. U5M is considered to be an excellent indicator of child health by UNICEF.[26]
I've heard that for decades, but having seen the extreme lengths Cubans went to fleeing from Cuba, I find it difficult to fully credit their claims of Medical superiority and longevity.....I have spoken at length with Cubans that were there in the 60's and seen the results of the Mariel Boat Lift.Cuba has lower infant mortality rates then United States. The average life span is comperable to United States and Canada. No other country in Latin America can make the same claim.

Nothing will change in Cuba.
That regime rules with an iron grip. Dissenters will dissappear. No press will cover the violence. Social media will censor all dissidents.

Mariel boat lift was when Castro opened his jails and sent all of the criminals here. Which was followed by a series of airplane hijackings back into Cuba. Many of them hated here and risked their life to get back. I remember this in real time, maybe you should do a web search. Such anecdotal stories don't mean anything. Overwhelming majority of those who illegally cross our Southern boarder come from non-communist Latin America, where life truly sucks.

The left is saying they are rioting because they want covid shots and can't get them. Never mind what communism has left them. That they aren't upset about lol.
They are rioting because U.S. hit Cuba with economic sanctions at the time when all economies are suffering worldwide. You know the saying, don't piss on my boots and tell me it's raining. Still there are more pro-government voices than criminals and hoodlums CIA managed to turn out.
US Imposes More Sanctions on Cuba
Sanctions further limit US tourist options in Cuba, aiming to deny the country sources of revenue

For the last 60 years, the Cuban government has been telling it's citizens that the reason their economy sucks is that the US STILL HAS AN EMBARGO IN PLACE. They have ( nearly ) the entire population convinced that just beyond the horizon, the US has a fleet of warships surrounding the entire island, blocking all commerce from all other countries. They tell whatever lies they think they need to in order to stoke the fear needed to remain in power. It's a totalitarian regime. Very much like North Korea, the radio only transmits "approved" content. Propaganda.
My direct family members lived through and escaped from communist regimes. Although I was born here in free America, I know all about the realities of life under communism. None of it is pretty, no matter how much lipstick you want to put on it.
Loving your country and hating your government are not mutually exclusive. Many people living in Cuba or any other communist hell hole would chose to stay. They would also choose freedom.

OK. There is no continuos economic embargo against Cuba. The longest embargo in word history. There were no additional economic sanctions by the U.S. placed during pandemic. All made up by the Cuban government.
While the US has refused to trade with Cuba, it has not prevented other countries from doing so. Canada freely trades with Cuba. Cigars from Cuba have been available in Canada forever. Canadian citizens are free to travel to and from Cuba. The US has less control over Cuba than you want to admit. More likely, their piss poor economy is the fault of their iron fisted dictator. Funny, it seems to me that ALL dictatorships throughout the world share that same economy.
It also prevents foreign companies who are doing business in the U.S. from doing business with Cuba. That's a lot of companies from all over the world.
Communist China is the second biggest economy in the world and growing. Stick that in your narrow indoctrinated mind.

Funny how China was an economic backwater for decades, then they started embracing capitalist principles and suddenly their economy took off like a rocket and they started developing a middle class.
They still have a totalitarian shitweasel running things, but they're a lot less "communist" than they were when crippling famines were an annual event.

"The Cuban dictator has a nightmarish security apparatus at his disposal. If he is prepared to use it, and if the thousands employed to keep the regime in power follow his lead, the Cuban demonstrators face the very worst imaginable.
The Cuban people know this. Their courage inspires, yet fills us with dread."
Fuck all those filthy communist tyrants and their lap dog sympathizers!

All those security apparchiks have homes. The Cuban people shouldn't sit around waiting to be rounded up. They should be doing the rounding up.
