while i dont agree with the sanctions against Cuba, personally i dont think they have any reason to put sanctions on Cuba other than the US government needing some small punching bag to keep stepping on for amusement, claiming that these protests are against the sanctions or because of the sanctions is a lie, because if that were the case then these protests would have been going on for years now since these sanctions went into effect 30 or 50 years ago.
and comparing these protests to the womens march is disingenuous, the womens march was targeted against ONE man that got elected to a government position, these protests in Cuba are directed at the government as a whole entity, not just a single individual.
as for comparing socialism or communism to a dictatorship, no, thats also wrong, communism is no more of a dictatorship than capitalism or socialism. but the way the systems operate, communism and socialism make it easy for a dictatorship to rise, capitalism not so easy. and im not talking about the laws that are in the system, but the system itself. capitalism works on the principle of you get what you earn, for the most part, meaning if you work then you will earn for yourself, basically. communism on the other hand, you work for the community, or the society, basically everyone gets what you make. in such a society, eventually you need a dictator to rise up and force people to work to provide for the society. in capitalism, if you dont go work on the farm, then you starve. in communism, if you dont go work on the farm, then everyone starves, cant have that, so you are forced to work on the farm. its a very dumbed down explanation, but thats the working principle. the communist country i lived in, the government picked your profession for you, if they needed more farmers, then you grew up to be a farmer, if they needed more ditch diggers, then you grew up to be a ditch digger, unless you were deemed smart, they tested everyone, and the ones that were smarter than the rest went on to become doctors and scientists, but the average people went on to be farmers and ditch diggers and brick stackers and broom pushers, whatever the government needed to provide for society.
