I haven't clicked on that link but, as a Latino myself, I support mis hermanos Cubanos and I hope they crush the inferior anglo-germanic swamp "people" of america. Adios/La revedere

I agree Cuba is in a shitty situation but it makes the socialist achievements of Stalin that much more remarkable. The USSR was alone in the socialist world and managed to go from backwards, semi-feudal conditions to the second largest economy in the world and a Socialist powerhouse that was able to support dozens of socialist countries like Cuba. And they didn't need a "market track" next to the socialist economy or FDI. Stalin was awesome

One time I asked Stalin to dress up as Santa for a Christmas party. Anyway, Stalin shows up as Santa, says I've got goodies for you kids. He reaches into his bag and proceeds to hand out scrap metal and cigarettes to them. Then he takes off his beard and says There's no Santa cause I ate him!

unfortunately by fighting to defend the gains of the revolution, the bolsheviks ended up destroying the revolution. shame on the germans and hungarians for failing to overthrow their respective states during 1919

some of the richest cubans are hotel workers and go-between businessmen with western companies, these classes must be carefully scrutinized lest they transition cuba away from socialismo

clearly Stalin possessed that rare, precious quality found in only the greatest of managers and leaders: knowing when to just get out of the way and let people Job

The Hungarian bolsheviks did seize power and even had popular support so they could have remained in power, but alas the first thing they did was to try to recreate their empire by attacking Czechoslovakia and Romania. Of course that went really well

their popular support was based on making wild claims about reclaiming territory tho

is anyone honestly stupid enough to believe that the linguistic similarity between "guy fieri" & "garda de fier" and the fact that the logo of the garda de fier looks like a waffle fry is a coincidence?

life for Cuban youth is a living hell of brutal five string supremacy and compulsory attendance at outdoor rock fusion events. witness the torment of these most innocent of victims, many of whom hobbled to the grounds on legs broken by Communist doctors as an incompetent treatment for rickets.



these nickelback looking fuckers were first paid in American dollars to regale the wan youth with physical hygiene propaganda, then executed an hour later for unauthorized political heroism. paging alanis morrissette, because the irony ship is setting sail from Havana and everyone on board hates dave coulier.
