The Democratic Socialists Of America Stand Up For Cuba!

Fine, Castro and Che in their prime.

No one likes a literalist.

My rapier-like wit is wasted in here.....

You have to understand the mind of a Leftist, which is, all the problems Cuba has can be directly blamed on the US of A cuz they won't share what they have.

Why? I reckon because they are dependent on having access to the wealth they generate for all I can figure out.

Hilarious.

I bet a lot of them think economic blockade has a bit to do with it.

 

[cnm]

and if that don't do it all the trappings of capitalism will surely drive that lesson home.

It's the blockades that will do that.

 

[Dont Taz Me Bro]

I know a guy who floated here on a raft for a couple of weeks with over 20 other people, not knowing if they'd arrive here alive, to escape that hell hole. These people are galactically stupid and I hope when they arrive in Cuba, they receive everything they deserve and more.

The Danes said yesterday, that they would destroy every landing strip on Greenland, should push come to shove.
Being in the same hemisphere does not mean that they are required to become part of a shithole country.

So what! They would be destroying their own livelihood. It's a huge island. Just let them live to their own resources while we move in and take it over. I type this due to your ways internally in the United States. The endless riots/insurrections are not of freedoms. It is for a radical change of government system. Cracks in the armor are showing though in some areas.

It's the blockades that will do that.

just keeping the corrupt capitalism at bay

Word is that things are a little rough down in Cuba right now. In my post of February 23, I reported that Cuba had become the first nation in the world to achieve the climate activists’ Holy Grail of “Net Zero” carbon emissions. I had looked around for news of the big celebration of Cuba’s achievement, but I couldn’t find any mention of it. If I had understood things correctly — and I think I had — Net Zero was supposed to deliver abundant and much cheaper electricity from the free wind and sun, lowering everybody’s energy costs, creating jobs, and saving the planet in the process. And yet, in a February 20 piece, the New York Times had revealed that the process of achieving Net Zero had somehow brought Cuba “to its knees.” Are we missing something here?
And then two days ago, March 16, the BBC (and many other sources) reported that the entire island of Cuba had been plunged into a blackout. Apparently there has since been some partial restoration of power, but much or even most of the island remains in darkness, without much prospect of relief any time soon.

So I went to the DSA website to find information about their celebration of Cuba’s achievement. It’s not there. Instead, I find this:
The Trump administration has escalated the decades-long embargo on Cuba, cutting off the island’s access to oil, choking its energy grid, and accelerating a humanitarian crisis. . . .
OK, that’s one take, but frankly it’s rather lame. Yes, the U.S. has boycotted Cuba for decades, not just under Trump, but during both Republican and Democratic presidencies. But the U.S. is just one country out of nearly 200 in the world, constituting around 25% of the world economy. That leaves the other 190+ countries and 75% of the world economy that is not boycotting Cuba. Europe is not boycotting Cuba. China is not boycotting Cuba. Brazil and Mexico are not boycotting Cuba. Canada is not boycotting Cuba.
And according to the DSA, Cuba has a superior economic system to the U.S., an economic system that the DSA would like to implement here. In particular, the fossil-fuel-free energy system recently implemented in Cuba has been exactly what the DSA has long been advocating for the U.S.
And then two days ago, March 16, the BBC (and many other sources) reported that the entire island of Cuba had been plunged into a blackout. Apparently there has since been some partial restoration of power, but much or even most of the island remains in darkness, without much prospect of relief any time soon.
Of all groups that ought to be celebrating, at the top of the list would be the Democratic Socialists of America. They have been among the most forceful advocates for the rapid if not immediate elimination of fossil fuels from the energy system. Prominent members of the DSA include the Bronx/Queens it-girl Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and New York’s new Mayor Zohran Mamdani. Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders, although apparently not formally a member of DSA, has both supported and been supported by the group.
~Snip~
What I’m not getting is why Cuba is in need of some kind of humanitarian aid. According to the DSA, Cuba has an economic system superior to ours, and which we should emulate. It has the ability to trade freely with countries representing 75% of the world economy in essentially all commodities other than oil which, as DSA has told us, is not needed and should be eliminated ASAP. If the Cubans are short of electricity at the moment, they have the complete ability to obtain wind turbines and solar panels from China to their hearts’ content. Won’t that solve the problem?
I guess it’s admirable of the DSA to stand up for their comrades in Cuba. But shouldn’t they have at least a little curiosity as to why Cuba can’t make carbon free electricity — let alone anything else in its economy — work? It’s hard to believe that morons at this level get elected to office in the U.S., but there you have it.

Commentary:
Menton raises superb points about the mendacity of Democrats regarding Communism and “Green” Energy.
Well, given DSA poster boy Mamdani is the new mayor of NYC, the City that Never Sleeps will soon have the best economy in the US and achieve Net Zero immediately.
Plus you have the blessings of Allah and The Call to Prayer blasted out 5 times a day.
You are catching up to London quickly.
Much to look forward to, when one bets it all on a losing wager, the effect is always “Net Zero.”
A clear-eyed look at what “Democratic” Socialists and their "Climate Crusade" are really all about.
Sometimes these people are unintentionally self-revealing, in my experience nowhere more so than in the following paragraph, lifted verbatim from The Washington Post Magazine, July 10, 2019.
Quoted are the then-chief of staff for AOC (Chakrabarti) and the energy advisor to then-Washington Governor Jay Inslee (Ricketts). At the time, Inslee was campaigning for the presidency on the premise of an urgent need to confront a climate emergency:
“Chakrabarti had an unexpected disclosure. ‘The interesting thing about the Green New Deal,’ he said, ‘is it wasn’t originally a climate thing at all.’ Ricketts greeted this startling notion with an attentive poker face. ‘Do you guys think of it as a climate thing?’ Chakrabarti continued. ‘Because we really think of it as a how-do-you-change-the-entire-economy thing.’”
The more we learn about the ongoing, relatively trifling, and sometimes net beneficial changes to Earth’s climate, the harder it is to regard Mr. Chakrabarti’s admission as news. Nevertheless, I think it would be a deadly mistake to stop emphasizing that the climate hobgoblin is nothing more nor less than the mother of all false fronts for aspiring totalitarians, opportunistically seeking to bring about the tyranny they so ardently desire to oversee.
Where would the Democrat party be without its crew of morons? Or RINOs without their betrayals.

Trumps mob friends lost a lot of money in Cuba. The felon would try to make up that cash. I hopehe gets fucked there after his Iran surrender.

That economic damage to the mob happened as a result of the fall of the batista regime whiuch was in 59

Trumpp was born in 46

According to your stupid babbling post he had mob friends when he was 13.

You realiy are one of the dumbest morons on the net making shit up as you go
