“I mean, some of our billboards are just really intended to be funny,” Taylor insisted. “We put up a billboard on I-95 at Mar-a-Lago… that simply said ‘cheats at golf.’ That one probably got as big a reaction as any.”
🤣🤣🤣
Using ads to make fun of politicians is a great fucking thing and we need to do more to get the popular voice in front of the discussion.
Not to sound like a tankie, but at least Fidel Castro cared about his people and their well being.
I don’t care what I sound like, they’re also one of the few leaders/nations who successfully defended against American capitalist aggression attempting to destabilize their government to open up its resources/people to our owner’s merciless exploitation in their insatiable need for infinite growth/metastasis on a finite world, and remove as many potential global examples of alternative economic systems as possible, a feat many South American nations that dared to attempt a better future for their people failed to accomplish defending against.
A small example demonstrating that our oligarchs can be rebuked, but an example nonetheless.
Number 4 is slightly inaccurate. The Dominicans elected a social-democrat who then got overthrown by a US-backed coup a couple of months after the election. Then there was a revolt against the Junta a couple of months after that and it was only then when the marines were then sent to shoot at the Constitutionalists.
Very good point

And yet somehow I doubt you live there. Nor do the thousands of people who risk their life to escape every year.
I don’t, I live in the US, where we let our own people who don’t play ball get cast out to die of exposure and
policecapital defense force harassment for the crime of not producing enough value well enough for their owners:
herp derp wealthiest nation on Earth!
Yeah, the US are awful too, but it doesn’t logically follow that Cuba is great just because they’re an “adversary”. This isn’t a comic book — it’s possible for both sides to be bad.
They weren’t denying Cuba is bad. They pointed out that they’re one of the view countries to stave off American business interesting fucking up their country under the guise of “Democracy”
Don’t gaslight me. They replied in agreement to a comment saying “at least Fidel cared about his people” and then went on to praise Cuba some more.

Saying good things about Cuba doesn’t make one a tankie. Cuba does good things. If ever there was justification for a violent revolution would it not be slavery? No ones gonna call people who think Haitis revolution against their slave owners was good tankies. Similarly, Vietnam is a left nation and saying good things about them doesn’t make you a tankie because they’re doing good things. All the above countries have their problems too, but I wouldn’t liken praise to them with genocide deniers.
Nah it’s just there’s people on here who believe anyone defending anybody that’s communist is a tankie. I’m pretty left leaning and anti capitalist but not to the point where I would support China or Russia or some stupid shit like that.
I’ll never understand how people can be anti-capitalist, but not anti-imperialist.
*that moment when caring about people makes you a tankie.
Having empathy for other humans makes you a communist, leninist, socialist, maoist, marxist… You know what? Just ALL the words I don’t understand that for profit news tells me are evil and wrong!
At least Fidel had a fucking ideology.
And started by fighting for it with a gun in his hands.
And survived several assassinations attempts by the CIA
Several hundred attempts.
Including an explosive cigare.
One woman told Telemundo 51 in Spanish that it was disrespectful to Cuba, Cubans, Trump and the U.S.
Trump should be treated with no respect whatsoever, and his existence as a Presidential candidate is more disrespectful to the US than any billboard can ever be.

Even Castro had universal Healthcare.
Stop trying to make Trump look cool. If anything, he’s more like Batista.
Dave?
Fulgencio. The dictator who was in power before the Cuban revolution, with connections to organized crime, under whom Cuba’s economy was mostly casinos, drugs, and brothels while the people were poor and illiterate. Plundered the country bad enough to spark the revolution that drove him out and brought literacy and education and economic development.
GIVE ME WHAT I WANT!

They need these every block in Miami. I absolutely cannot comprehend how some people don’t see Trump is a dictator. Left, right, center, it doesn’t matter, a dictator is a dictator and no political ideology is safe from them…
