Communism is bad, actually.

If you want lived experience, I'm the son of Cuban refugees. You're never going to convince me. :)

@dwr.eth Sincerely curious, as a son of a Cuban refugee, what are your feelings about US sanctions on Cuba?

(My experience with Cuba is mainly as a popular vacation destination for Canadians, but the impact of sanctions is severely visible every time I visit.)

Seems like the have outlived their purpose (punishing the Castros).

That said, they aren't helping themselves:

Contrast Cuba to the Vietnamese (who are still "communist").

I think from a geographic/economic perspective, Cuba is particularly desperate and limited in its options.

(Also ever find it funny how communist countries still do trade with other countries? 🤔)

Anyway thanks for sharing!

How awful that the Chinese may get their own Japanese unsinkable aircraft carrier so close to U.S mainland….

Truly unprecedented of those commies to be doing this!
