I’m all for lifting the restrictions on Cuba. I don’t understand why they are still in place. Presumably they were put there because of the cold war, but we are all buddies with Russia now, why are we still mad at Cuba?
Russia’s capitalist as it gets now. No one is pretending they’re still in any way socialist or even leftist. The US oligarchy loves them because Russia is now ideologically aligned with them. Cuba’s actually still socialist.
Also interesting how capitalist Russia is more tyrannical and war happy than the USSR ever was eh? While having a lower productive output than the USSR.
The US is explicit about this: “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”
I don’t believe the USA is buddies with Russia, though, they have opposing geopolitical interests. The fact that the USA is pulling out of Ukraine now is not because they’re buddies with Russia, but because Ukraine is a broken toy now that the EU has fully antagonized Russia as a consequence of the invasion and has subserved itself to NATO and agreed to the 5% military expenditure (mostly to buy weapons from the USA military-industrial complex)
And is this “existing socialist state” with us in the room right now?
Yes, Cuba is a good example
