When the west goes on a diplomatic trip: Our wholesome president went on a peace mission to make fair and responsible deals for the greater good ☺️
When a country the west doesn’t like goes on a diplomatic trip: Evil dictator traveled to advance his evil scheme, he probably explained his plan to his butler in his office while looking out the window on a rainy day before laughing maniacally as thunder struck outside 👿
I don’t think they ever will be completely obsolete, the paradigm will probably just shift away from big formations of big boats with big guns to smaller more maneuverable boats in smaller groups more specialized on long distance strike capabilities using drones and missiles.
Yellen made a point of shouting out Deng Xiaoping’s 1992 visit to manufacturing and export powerhouse Guangzhou. It marked a key milestone in China’s progress in becoming a market economy, one that Yellen hopes the Xi era will emulate by leveling playing fields for Western companies.
Liberals can’t see beyond what’s right in front of them as usual, without doing the smallest amount of investigations into Deng’s reasoning for the market reforms she is preaching him as a liberal icon to peoples who know the actual reason why Deng did what he did. Having markets and bourgeois on a leash to develop the forces of production is pretty basic stuff and it’s easy to find that it’s what Deng wanted to do, but instead of looking into why on earth the chairman of a communist party would implement market reforms they saw that China’s market was open to foreign markets and concluded that Deng was a liberal without any further investigations.
This is “we investigated ourselves and found we did nothing wrong” 's evil twin “we investigated these peoples we don’t like and found they did everything wrong”
Hard to tell how popular the government is if you get jailed for voicing disagreement now isn’t it?

What I’ve seen about the demand for the sanctions to be lifted it’s granting the population human rights regarding political freedoms. Would that mean the dissolvement of the government?
You’ve been given a link to a declassified CIA document in which they admit that the true objective of the sanctions is to have the Cuben government overthrown, did you read anything any of us have given you?
But in the 60’s it was on its way to eradicate the bourgeoisie and lift the under class in its entirety?
No, it was just a welfare state back then too, they just had more concessions at the time because there was the Soviet Unions just next door with guarantied employment, free healthcare and housing, etc, and were getting so riled up over it that the bourgeoisie was getting really scared of potentially having a revolution and decided that temporarily giving these concessions was better than loosing everything.
You do realize that kind of sanctions affect the poor civilians far more than the elite, if it even affect the elite at all, right?
Different opinions can be voiced in the party itself, democratic centralism is summarized as “diversity in opinions, unity in actions” ideas can be freely discussed, debated, voted, compromised on, etc but once the party reach a democratic consensus the party as a whole must go through with the decision unless the party as a whole change it’s mind democratically.
Sorry but Scandinavian countries were still capitalist and still had a bourgeois class even before the neoliberals came around.
Well I’m not going to travel to Cuba for the sake of an internet discussion
You don’t need to, it’s very easy to find documentation on the subject for free online if you are just willing to actually learn about it.
But it is true that political opposition is forbidden and the only allowed party is the communist, right?
No it’s not, not only are other parties and independent candidates allowed, but the communist party isn’t allowed to present their candidates to the elections because candidates to the elections are not nominated by their party but by the peoples of their community, the communist party do end up having their members picked for the elections because the party is overwhelmingly popular but there is nothing to guaranty that any of them will get in.
No, clearly you don’t understand what they meant, nor how Cuba’s political system works. Please educate yourself before confidently calling dictatorship a country who’s political system you couldn’t explain the most basics of.
Here are videos to help you:
We Asked Cuban Voters If They Live In A Democracy Or Dictatorship. Here’s How They Responded.
Also, please learn what a class is.
Liberals once again demonstrating their inability to conceive of any kind of political action outside of voting and telling other peoples to go vote.
They sure are shuffling government officials a lot these days.
Ha, yes. I’m sure that will work out this time.
Washington’s protectionism
More like Washington’s begging daddy bourgeois to please stop exporting all the industry to the third world and exporting back home cheap goods.
Not anymore but it was until the 90s
France become the first country to explicitly include the right to terminate a pregnancy in its constitution.
No, Yugoslavia did it in the 70s.
Y’all are… tiring… I’m just gonna copypaste my answer to an other comment of the same thread:
Y’all keep saying that but I have yet to see any of you point any actual material difference between Trump’s presidency vs during Biden’s presidency.
What changed after the transition from Trump to Biden except rhetoric? As far as I know, oppressed minorities kept having their rights taken away 1 by 1 the same as before, police kept being over funded the same as before, migrants from the southern border kept being detained in literal concentration camps at the border the same as before, things kept getting more financially difficult for the average American every day the same as before, big polluter corporations kept polluting without consequences the same as before, the military budget kept getting ramped up every year the same as before, what is different in the real world outside the clown-show that is your political system? Where the fuck does that “not good but definitely better” goes when you stop going by the words of these known serial liars for to seconds and take a peak at what as changed in the actual lives of the American people?
The only difference I see is that the Republicans is taking an active approach and pass laws directly whereas the Democrats is more passive and like to let the Republicans and other far right parties pass laws while standing there awkwardly and pretending they can do nothing about it.
Who could have seen this comming
