  • Haha I know, but like to pretend. I literally made the same point to my wife after reading like 10 pages of the Soviet Democracy book I was linked earlier.

    We did eventually move further toward more democracy and socialist practices up until the red scare imo, but the foundations were definitely not as rosy as they paint it to be and many people lost their lives to push for progress.



  • Have you been paying attention at all?

    Trump is literally actively “joking” about annexing Canada this week, and they’ve been exporting MAGA brain rot to Canada for years.

    Trump also threatened to unilaterally invade/bomb Mexico to attack cartels.

    How is that not directly interfering with “free and fair elections”


  • Hi I’m a lurker and I appreciated the responses.

    Never really looked too deep on Cuba beyond what is obviously forced into my face by American education/media/“news” etc…

    So interesting to see a dissenting opinion, I support socialism/communism tho I wish there were better examples of communism working to point to, as if the west didn’t actively work against it all the time lol.

    But it is fair to say I think that it is a bit concerning how often it has devolved into essentially dictatorships of one kind or another, but basically since Reagan it’s not like we’ve actually had a honest legislature/election process.
