Comments by "Kim O\x27Brien" (@kimobrien.) on "Fidel Castro's 'most difficult interview'" video.

"It wasn't until 1977 that Castro first spoke to U.S. media, sitting down with American journalist Barbara Walters. Here's a short clip of that exchange." That's just not true he spoke on Face the Nation shortly after the 1959 victory also.

@jackgreenway4646 Life is a struggle everywhere even more so with the pandemic. The US has had sixty year blockade of the island and its been tightening it even more. Cuba is only an island nation not an island economy. I never saw empty grocery shelves in the US until the recent power failure in Texas.

Would you expect a paper advocating for the return of British rule to appear after the American Revolution of 1776? Or a paper for the return of slavery right after the US Civil War? Such a paper appearing today in the US would be laughed now but after a revolution change in government no. The had a revolution and the pain from the capitalist past is not easily forgotten. As long as the leaders of the Cuba revolution tell the truth about world capitalism, the world situation and listen to what the Cuban people tell them the revolution will continue making history. The Cuban revolution is just part of the world revolution that is a fight for justice and the change from the rule of a few wealthy capitalist in the richest nations to that of the working people in all nations. The construction of a socialist world is that of the workers created by the capitalist world.

@paulcarfantan6688 What does an empty Cuban grocery store prove compared to life of Latin American people before the Cuban revolution upset balance of power between American Imperialism and the slaves of its colonial Empire in Latin America? A whole island nation entered the modern world using the methods of socialist planning look at America's colony Puerto Rico, Haiti or the Dominican Republic and tell me how good they have it thanks to US Imperialism, Capitalism and Uncle Sam.

@paulcarfantan6688 No one needs a grocery store to be open all the time or sit fully stocked up 24/7. Tell Biden to end the blockade.

@punche5250 Cuba's Revolutionary Armed Forces defeated the invincible white South African Apartheid army at Cuito Cuanavale, Angola. Driving a dagger into they myth of the invincible white man in Africa. The allies of Ronald Reagan UNITA and South Africa suffered a humiliating military defeat on the battlefield and at the UN when the New York accords were signed. . .

@jjthefed Capitalism is all about the right to swindle and the raw deal. The truth about how the system of swindle for the profits of a few is what eventually brings it to an inglorious end. Capitalist can't escape their own lies and the violence the will need to keep there class in power. When slavery and feudalism got in the way of the new capitalist system they were first abolished by revolutionary means. The same thing will happen to the capitalist who are organized in nation states.

@vocalize_official Communism isn't about living in model countries but the revolutionary change to a socialist world.

@bennydavid623 He gives her all good answers no matter how tough they appear. The US has been broadcasting lies from Radio and TV Marti for years getting only a few to believe the lies coming from those intellectuals bought and paid for with US dollars.

@hanschristianrodriguez Obviously people in Cuba understand that capitalism only works for a minority. Why would they want to hear a lot of false promises and nonsense from capitalist advertising and politicians. You can only get away with telling lies for so long before the majority picks up on it.
