  2.  @africa_geopolitics  The USSR was an imperialist power. Just ask its neighbors or Eastern Europe.

  3. In favor of Soviet imperialism. After all, wasn't Cuba a Soviet vassal state while Che was alive?

  4.  @suzygirl1843  <Give over the power to the women and you'll see changes> Like in the CAR and Liberia?

  7.  @mkhuselimazungula6345  And care to name one communist nation that did such a thing without bloodshed or bankruptcy within a couple of generations?

  8.  @HookedonChronics  Well, for all the DRC's problems, at least it's not Ethiopia (which got Cuban support) and Somalia that became the poster children of everything gone wrong with post-colonial Africa. And they were both Soviet-backed.

  13.  @suzygirl1843  Give me examples of thriving African countries led by black women.

  14.  @alexhamilton3421  But how long did that last? The problem with communism is that whatever prosperity it does achieve is often short-lived. Every other communist country back then relied on the USSR to stay afloat and either collapsed or adopted capitalist economic reforms once the Soviet aid dried up.

  15. But didn't mind Cuba being under Soviet imperialism.

  16.  @supahotfire462  Che favored Chinese-styled communism while the Castros favored the Soviet one. for starters. Plus, Che was seen as a loose cannon.

  17.  @handsfortoothpicks  And then bankrupt and broken within 20 years.

  21.  @handsfortoothpicks  While practicing standard Latin American racism at home. Whites and Mestizos at the top, Blacks and (pure-blooded) Amerindians at the bottom.

  22.  @josecipriano3048  <Yes, the dictatorship of the people.> Namely the Castros and Moscow.

  23.  @azemimy3919  Internationalism = imperialism

  24.  @HanginInSF  Just like socialism and communism. And fascism is just another brand of socialism.

  25. They think they're slick. No pun intended.

  26. Gandhi opposed Apartheid only because he didn't think Indians should be treated the same as the Black people he saw himself and his ethnic group above.

  27. The average Bolivian wasn't impressed by his BS.

  28.  @rationalfox7736  Don't forget the French.

  29.  @K1ng_F0X  Or a Romanian one under Ceausescu?

  30.  @thabiso5792  Thanks to Soviet aid, Venezuelan oil, Canadian tourism and US remittances.

  31. Fascism is a by-product of communism. And Mobutu got his ideas from Mao.

  32.  @godofthisshit  Cuba was one of the last countries in the Americas to abolish slavery.

  33.  @handsfortoothpicks  Only to become prostitutes to Canadian and European tourists after the USSR cut off the aid and collapsed.

  34.  @mkhuselimazungula6345  Not in Tanzania's case. Or Mongolia's.

  38. If only the LGBTQ knew what communists really thought of them....

  39.  @cashewnuttel9054  Or resigned themselves to being isolated kleptocracies.
    1
  40.  @handsfortoothpicks  No. Because of internal corruption and over-reliance on high commodity prices. <Yet Libya did better than most African nations at the time.> Only because of oil.
    1
  41.  @azemimy3919  The USSR got destroyed from within. Most of the Soviet vassal states including Cuba fell once the USSR aid dried up.

  42.  @handsfortoothpicks  Rich in natural resources but poor in development and expertise. <but countries like Nigeria is full of oil yet is incredibly poor> So is Equatorial Guinea. Don't let the GDP per capita fool you.
