Meh, can you really say that it’s the proletarian dictatorship anymore when Cuba now has a privileged elite defending it’s grip on power against the poor majority?
It’s more like they have become the bourgeoisie.
Ah okey ^^ but that’s my point. The revolution abolished the then existing classes but now the party has cemented into the now ruling class. They enjoy the privileges and aggregate all the power to themselves where the now again born under class can’t do anything. I understand what you mean but I think we have to see Cuba for the state its in, not the promise of what it would become.
im sorry, but you have been propagandized. the things you said are nothing but mere repetitions of cia lies about cuba, parroted since the 60s. please try learning about the actual conditions in cuba before and after the revolution before giving any statements.
Well I’m not going to travel to Cuba for the sake of an internet discussion xD
But it is true that political opposition is forbidden and the only allowed party is the communist, right?
I’ve read the thread. You have no source and you have not even tried to educate yourself on the basics of the Cuban government. You invented an accusation out of thin air and are somehow surprised people don’t uncritically believe it.

Source this.
You have done zero investigation into how well off Cuban leaders are compared to the average Cuban. You have done zero investigation into how this compares to peer countries.
You just made it up because it sounds like a Bad Country thing, someone told you once that Cuba is a Bad Country, and you never bothered to learn about the place yourself.
Ok, so the communist party says who can be in the Nation Assembly. The communist party sits on all the political power just by having the power over appointment.
There are no free candidacy for the national assembly, effectively aggregating all power to themselves making them the de facto ruling class. See the issue?
well, every state is authoritarian. thats part of the self preservation of any governance, be it progressive or reactionary. if you wanna abolish states alltogether ask the anarchists, since i am an ml and think that authoritarian measures are good for the liberation of mankind.
Haha yeah in a sense maybe. But the authoritarian meaning is that there’s no free or equal competition for the power so I mean there’s quite a difference between states where there are authoritan and democratic countries.
Show me any state where there is an “equal competition for power” in any general sense. The Democrats and Republicans having similar degrees of power means nothing but a duopoly if they each exist above democracy as private entities (and they do) and there is no “equal” competition with more progressive groups.
when you definitely understand what the word dictatorship means 😂
i mean, cuba is a dictatorship of the proletariat. libs just think thats a bad thing.
well yeah because libs are just temporarily inconvenienced billionaires

cuba is literally the most egalitarian nation in the americas. what are you talking about?
How do you mean it is egalitarian?
in the sense of the abolishment of class oppression

no investigation no right to speak

I’m sure you have some kind of a source for such an outlandish claim. How much time do you spend looking at the compensation of Cuban politicians?
You could probably understand the reasoning if you read the rest of the thread. What kind of compensation do you have in mind?
I’ve read the thread. You have no source and you have not even tried to educate yourself on the basics of the Cuban government. You invented an accusation out of thin air and are somehow surprised people don’t uncritically believe it.
Alright, what do you request a source for? Can’t say I’m surprised at others not agreeing in a discussion. Do you usually get surprised by that?

Sorry, what? :P
you are being criticized for using the word “dictatorship” in a liberal sense, a sense that doesnt respect material reality due to being idealist.
Ah thanks. Maybe should have used the proper authoritarian. Dictatorship is just a much easier and more widely recognized term no?
