In the US, Cuba is portrayed as a backward Communist dictatorship hell-hole where people live in grinding poverty and infrastructure is falling apart. However, not only is this a distorted, inaccurate picture, but it ignores the numerous areas where Cuba does better than the US.
While homelessness is soaring in the US, in Cuba it is effectively non-existent. Homelessness in the US has risen by 11% this year to reach the highest level in 15 years since US authorities started collecting data.
In contrast, housing is considered a human right in Cuba, and rent is capped at 10% of family income. Following the Cuban Revolution in 1959, Fidel Castro introduced housing subsidies and state-owned homes to combat homelessness, almost eradicating it as a social problem. Today, thanks to government subsidies, around 90% of Cubans own their own home compared to about 65.9% in the US.
They’re taking down statues to the Soviet-Ukrainian victors of the Greatest War against Evil ever won by Mankind and replacing them with American videogame characters standing atop nazi-collaborationist slogans. What else is there to say?
I oppose Israel’s corrupt government, but of course I have sympathy and compassion for the innocent Israeli and Palestinian lives that have been lost. I oppose occupation and apartheid. I do not oppose the Jewish people. Everyone has the right to exist and live in peace.
65 years ago, the Cuban Revolution triumphed over the US-backed Batista dictatorship. Today the Revolution lives on despite the illegal US blockade & regime change ops. Cuba gives real material support to Palestinian liberation, training hundreds of Palestinian doctors for free.
