And also posting the 2023 report from human rights watch. Sincerely bummed out, especially because the post was respectful and I am also a leftie.

    Humm, I don’t think this comment is that bad other than relying on the word of regfugees and just taking their word on the issue.

    I can see how communists would classify it as propaganda.

    One thing that sticks out to me is that the comment talks very matter of factly about that which it seems OP doesn’t have experience with.

    OP states “there’s very little food and decaying services blackouts and the like, political violence and prisoners”

    First of all OP, don’t state this as fact unless you have proof.

    Anyone can make a text post, unless you have proof you could write something like the following:

    From what I have heard about Cuba, the situation is bad, I have heard about food scarcities, decaying services, blackouts and political violence, if this is true it is terrible.

      It’s in the news right now the blackouts and a while back happened the biggest protest since the revolution citing lack of food and medicines. A camera panning of people in the streets shows people with improvised belts since they lost much weight. It was not a peer reviewed paper but c’mon it seems acceptable.
