are these kahanists in the room with us now?

actually no those deaths are cuba’s fault.

“cuba is soooo great” let’s have some quotes, hmm?

from armando valladares, author of “against all hope,” who spent 22 years in castro’s prisons bc he was a dissident:

“Those who hated the crimes of Pinochet closed their eyes when the same crimes were committed by Castro. The posture of many countries was governed by their hostility against the United States, and they excused Castro out of a reflexive anti-Americanism. (The enemy of my enemy is my friend.) These political games still take place today.”

“My response to those who still try to justify Castro’s tyranny with the excuse that he has built schools and hospitals is this: Stalin, Hitler and Pinochet also built schools and hospitals, and like Castro, they also tortured and assassinated opponents. They built concentration and extermination camps and eradicated all liberties, committing the worst crimes against humanity.”

“I woke up with a machine gun at my head… I spent seven years in a sealed cell with a steel plate on the door, another on the window, without light, living practically on my own waste.”

all this for refusing to support the regime.

from political prisoner Duannis León Taboada:

‘Regarding the official argument that the U.S. embargo is the cause of all the ills in the country, Duannis was straightforward: "A government that has not yet been able to seek a solution to reach an agreement with the Government of the United States to eradicate this blockade. They are unable to, because the reality is that the blockade is still in place." He pointed out that a truly capable government would have found the negotiation methods to resolve it.

The imprisoned individual also directed criticism at the Cuban government for the contradiction it incurs: it publicly acknowledges that the aim of the embargo is to generate social discontent, yet when that discontent manifests in protests, it responds with sentences of 14, 15, and 20 years in maximum-security prisons. "You are the true unjust ones, you are the ones who must take care of this people, you are the ones who must grant rights to that people," he told them.’

“Here we are without water for three days. We are given one bottle of water a day. For drinking and for bathing.”

“They put me in a sealed cell, covered in blood and handcuffed. And that’s how they sprayed my face.”

“Everything is completely messed up here, mom. Everything is wrong.”

from Reinaldo Arenas, author of Before Night Falls and persecuted for dissidence and sexuality:

“The system was based on absolute control of thought.”

“You had to repeat the slogans, even when you knew they were lies.”

from Carlos Alberto Montaner, exiled journalist:

“Censorship in Cuba is not a policy; it is the foundation of the system.”

“The Revolution created a country where only one voice is permitted.”

when Israeli children like western entertainment like Batman that justifies their status as materialistic foreigners who deserved to die, but when Palestinian children like western entertainment like ms Rachel that shows just how good and pure and universal ms Rachel is, apparently

also since ms rachel platforms hamas doctors, guess who that doctor probably is.
