So Cuba should dissolve a government widely approved of by the people and return to client state gang run institutions for the ability to receive food? You're a fucking idiot. Calling people sith lords, please learn to engage in world politics by using meaningful vocabulary instead of trying to equate everything to your favorite work of fiction

It shouldn't be hard to understand that what the US cares about are the rights of capital and of empire, not human rights

Hard to tell how popular the government is if you get jailed for voicing disagreement now isn't it?

good thing that doesn't happen then, huh?

No, you see, Display [email protected] is the one true interpreter of the desires of all people. We should just let them pick every government since clearly they know best.

What I’ve seen about the demand for the sanctions to be lifted it’s granting the population human rights regarding political freedoms. Would that mean the dissolvement of the government?

You've been given a link to a declassified CIA document in which they admit that the true objective of the sanctions is to have the Cuben government overthrown, did you read anything any of us have given you?

Lol, you know liberals choose not to read. I'd poke fun by saying they can't read, but that would be giving them too much credit.
