@jamesbrowning9210 Most of them live in Cuba not Miami or elsewhere. Fidel has passed away and Raul has stepped down so a new generation is taking over. The idea that Cuba will adopt capitalism like the Chinese or Russian is a pipe dream just like all the non sense about Fidel being a cruel dictator everyone was afraid of. That is just sixty years of US propaganda. Cuba never had forced collectivization and a regime that dealt with political differences though gulags and murder purges. The violent opposition to the revolution has always had its origin in the US. You just refuse to accept that because you believe all the propaganda stating with the Liberal Kennedy who called Cuba an imprisoned island that he had invaded with counter revolutionaries trained by the CIA he was planning to give massive US military aid once a beachhead had been established. The same Kennedy who gave the go ahead for the use of Agent Orange in Vietnam because the British had got away with violating the Geneva convention by destroying crops to prevent an anti colonial revolution in Malaya. Imperialist politicians use food as a weapon but a popular revolution that brings the workers and farmers to power is a dictatorship because you can't buy up property and make people pay you for the privileged of being your servant.

@jamesbrowning9210 The USSR had nuclear weapons Cuba does not.

@jamesbrowning9210 Wealthy for who though? And conditions of life in the US are in decline compared to Europe. The average lifespan has taken a hit since covid. The country is more class divided. Workers are looking to using union power over electing politicians. Hatred for the corporate elite has never been higher. Corruptions is seen as a fact of life. None of that spells anything like the post war era of prosperity.

@jamesbrowning9210 Why aren't you joining the Marco Rubio campaign to blow up balloons for a free internet in Cuba?

@jamesbrowning9210 Why so many Puerto Rican's come to USA if capitalism is working. If socialism not working in Cuba capitalism failing in Puerto Rico.

@puertorricane They are already Cubans who left the island that are turning against the policy of the American Imperialists.

@jamesbrowning9210 No other country has faced that kind of hostility for 60 years. It sole reason is to punish the Cuban people for getting rid of the US dictator Batista and using socialism to construct their country. Its also included a campaign of lies, terrorist attacks on Cuban soil and the bombing by the US CIA of a Cuban civilian airliner. .

@jamesbrowning9210 Did the USSR ever invade the US? The US did however invade them. Just what did they do to deserve such hostility? In fact Stalin gave both FDR and Churchill way more during the war years than you ever gave the Soviet Union. In fact you treated him the same way you treat your other employees when they are no longer useful you cut your losses rell them to look elsewhere and say sorry good bye.

@hellsonly8908 And what did the Soviet Union get for Stalin's treachery? Nada. Because of Stalin capitalism and Imperialism got a new lease on life.

@hellsonly8908 Stalin would lead a group of privileged bureaucrats who would reverse the communist course of Lenin and Trotsky. Before he died Lenin wanted Stalin out of his post as General Secretary. Trotsky also tried to have him removed he also failed. Stalin would sign on to Bukharin's theory of Socialism in one Country and became the leader of defeats. Stalin revived the bankrupt theories of the second international. Stalin became the executioner of Lenin's party and began the march back to capitalism.

@jamesbrowning9210 Why so Many Mexican's flee to the US why so many die at the US border?

@jamesbrowning9210 The Cuban government has never made a serious effort to stop anyone for leaving Cuba. The United States for years encouraged wet foot dry foot migration. It their policies that caused the deaths of those who left in leaky boats or on rafts. Cuba has punished piracy and educated more people to take the place of those who leave. A segment of the Cuban American community no longer supports the US blockade. Elon Gonzalez went home to his father. Miami s not the Capital of Cuba either. The source of opposition to the revolutionary Cuban government comes not from Cuba but the United States. The kind of injustice that creates protests in other Latin American countries doesn't exist in Cuba. It the US Gov't policy to try and create hunger, loss of wages and desperation to motivate the overthrow the Cuban government.

@jamesbrowning9210 I don't disclose my location or answer personal questions,

@jamesbrowning9210 They are plenty who come from Puerto Rico also. They leave for economic reasons and Jimmy "Human Rights" Carter stopped them from coming by having the Coast Guard sneeze vessels because he didn't want anymore coming to help with the immigration crisis then declared by the governor of Florida. The people held without trial and charges in Cuba are at the US Guantanamo Bay torture faculty. Cuba needs no lessons in Human Rights from the quite "Human Rights" leader. Cater armed and supported Pol Pot at the UN. Today Biden fist bumps the Prince of Saudi who has never held a national election in his country. The US calls Cuba a state sponsor of terror when they harbored US CIA terrorist who bombed Cubana 455. Its nothing more than two party hypocrisy.

@andrecampbell9651 The US is an Imperialist power defending its foreign investors property and profits. That is why they have 800 military bases and a Navy and Military. To enforce the "Rules based" international order. The country is class divided and ruled by a tiny wealthy minority. The American Imperialist can neither forgive or forget that Fidel and the Cuban workers and farmers carried out a socialist revolution under their very noses. The Cuban revolution shows what working people can accomplish with a real communist leadership and not a counterfeit like that of Stalin and Mao. Capitalism can not avoid its own tendency to go into crisis and decline. Imperialism is its highest stage and the capitalist ruling classes can not avoid going to war to redivide the world among themselves. They did it twice in the twentieth century destroying most of the industrial world except for the Western hemisphere. A third world war would quickly go nuclear but history teaches that the American workers and farmers will have a chance to defeat them in another revolution.

End the US Blockade of Cuba!!!

Fidel "bad man" for leading revolution against US Bankers and profiteering ruling class.

@ShangoHeruGinen1791 The injustice of the blockade will go with those Cuban's who leave and you will find that your hopes to destroy them by blockade will backfire on you after all many will end up in other Latin American countries where they will bring the ideas of the revolution.

@jamesbrowning9210 Her mother left at age 14 before the victory of the revolution. She was born in the US her mother couldn't possible tell her from first hand experience anything about elections in Cuba.
