The newly elected members of the National Assembly will assume office on April 19, and the same day, will elect the new President and Vice President of Cuba
The anthills in my backyard are sustainably developed too. Cuba’s crumbling infrastructure is on par with the most retrograde, backwaters of the first and second world. A power infrastructure with rolling blackouts and 60,000 cars for 11 million people. Nothing is more sustainable than living, more or less, in the past. It’s also no surprise because eco-tourism is the only moneymaker except for, maybe, cigars.
I’m not going to convince you that Cuba is defunct, repressive kleptocracy and you’re not going to convince me that Cuba’s ideals somehow transcend the record numbers of people trying to gtfo
Cuba isnt the same as truly tragic country like Haiti but it’s pretty bad. The people are educated but they are destitute and have no opportunities. Repealing sanctions would help but it won’t fix the cause of their woes. I hope for the best. They are our neighbors.
You keep on doing the coping there. You’re a real champ at it. At least we can agree that what US has done to Cuba and Haiti is indeed tragic. If only these countries were allowed to develop without the oppression of the empire. Good thing US is headed for the collapse, so the rest of the world can finally breathe.
Lmao. Don’t worry about my expectations. You’re the one who’s going to be really fucking bummed when you find out a post-American hegemony world is more of the same old shit.
Nah, I don’t think I will. We’re headed for a whole different world where the parasitic leech that’s been sucking lifeblood from the planet is about to shrivel and die finally. Liberalism and capitalism are about to be the thing of the past.
Except that if the US completely collapsed China would most likely take its place and China is a hypercapitalist uniparty state. The incentive to make the favorable unilateral deals with smaller countries will be removed. They would over time opt for coercion via soft power. Unlike the US they would not grant citizenship to foreigners because they would want to remain as culturally, physiologically and ethnically homogenous as possible. They wont embrace diversity nor will they embrace dissent. This will become harder as the Chinese people become used to wealth. They would be less neurotic than the US but would of course still actively work against the interests of a nation with designs on being their rival. The population pyramid will hit them in about 15-20 years and they will have to support far more elderly than they have the ability to. As a result, they will become more aggressive on the international stage. China’s greatness will not suffer if there are resources for the taking that will solve the problem. They will bribe leaders of puppet states for access to resources and exploit the country to fund their deficits. Because the yuan (or renmibi) will likely be the worlds reserve currency they will have the exclusive ability to export their inflation and outspend any nation during wartime. They would be foolish not to use this tool against their enemies.
Things might be good for 80-200 years but once the ruling generation is completely disconnected from struggle they will become more selfish. The nation will begin arcing towards collapse.
At no point would they ever care about the sharing the spoils of their success with the workers of the world, consider eliminating the idea of a nation state or abandoning a debt-based system of technocratic slavery. Why would they?
I’m sure after the crash of the Chinese Republic the revolution will take place and we’ll be rid of the blood-sucking leeches once and for all… right?

Cuba has an innovative housing plan. Evict people and bulldoze their houses to the ground.

Not sure which part of what I said is ‘cope’ but okay.
Re: American collapse I expect it will be less of a collapse and more of a controlled descent ala a hang glider.
don’t be surprised when your expectations aren’t met

Like I said, whatever helps you cope.
Copium not needed. Everything is good on my end. Feel free to have my share though I think you’ll need it.
