    Cuba seems like it could be a promising country when they can get free from the authoritarian oligarchy some day

      I think you’re confusing Cuba with somewhere else mate…

        There are definitely other promising places somewhere else. Do you mean Cuba isn’t one of them and it’s a lost cause?

          Maybe I misunderstand… who is the authoritarian oligarchy…?

            Maybe I misunderstand as well. I meant the situation the people of Cuba have with the hierarchy under the controlling class and its restrictions on their freedoms

              Ok so it doesn’t make any sense. Cuba is leagues more free and democratic than the US could ever hope to be.

              Can people in the US vote for a new constitution? The people of Cuba did not too long ago. And now they have the most progressive and advanced constitution in the world.

              A farmer can become a senator. Most people in the congress and government in general are unaffiliated. There is no homelessness and hunger. Full employment.

              In the US and Western Europe you’re free to be ruled for decades by the same neoliberal political project, lose your job, end up on the streets and die of hunger. Yay freedom!
