This has to be the first time I've ever seen the bourgeois media admit that the Cuban ration book system guaranteed a healthy monthly supply of foods. "Communism works" being weaponised as "communism doesn't work anymore" in the face of a genocidal blockade.

‘Radical change’ was a change at the root of a system.
🧵This is chilling repression. As I made clear in my evidence to the Undercover Policing Inquiry, I have supported and advocated taking direct action against arms companies for over 30 years. And still do.
This is so dystopian man. An entire nation under a medieval-style siege, slowly being strangled to death while the rest of the world simply turns a blind eye.
