"i mean y'all just putting words in my mouth at this point lol so whatever"



You just said one page earlier that you have positive views about cuba and the idea that both political sides could have points are bollocks. So no. No need to put a foot in your mouth, you did it yourself.

Chomsky is a Khmer Rouge apologist so he'll go pretty fucking far you'd be surprised.

country isn't full of the latest technology, due mostly to an embargo from the largest local economy?

Cuba one of the last countries that hasn't even free internet, a one party democracy and a completely destroyed economy is cool, because I guess their health care is ohkay and inequality is down because at least there are no rich ppl.

'You just said one page earlier that you have positive views about cuba and the idea that both political sides could have points are bollocks. So no. No need to put a foot in your mouth, you did it yourself.'

yep I did say I have positive views on Cuba, however it's being intentionally misrepresented here. Cuba has a successful economy, even with the embargo and years of huge foreigh pressure for simply daring not to be capitalist, it ranks among the highest latin american countries in terms of education, levels of healthcare etc. I do not support authoritarianism and never will, i am a libertarian socialist, but do I believe Cuba is a positive example of as socialist economy working despite huge international pressure? yep. My opinion on Castro himself to clarify, is mostly neutral. He made many mistakes in terms of human rights in his early years which i wholeheartedly disagree with, but he also helped end colonialism and apartheid in africa supporting independence movements when pretty much all western countries were opposing it.

and no, i do not agree that fascism or far-right politics have valid points, or at least no valid points which aren't already answered as part of socialist politics.

Nobody said you should consider far-right fascist ideologies. But to you everything that doesn't confirm to your viewpoint is far right-fascist. And that's just not true.





Also you soundly condem even the slightest wiff of right-wing talking points as fascism but are rather tepid in your evaluation of Castro. It's neutral, despite the shooting squads and the total dictatorship he installed. Yet you HATE right-wing fascists who'd do the same thing (and everyone right-wing who would never-ever-ever do stuff like that).
