Cuba is left wing. Castro was a communist, he was always left wing but the rejection from the American establishment pushed him firmly into the marxist-leninist camp.
The way he, and later his brother, ran their country was very much left wing, and pretending they're not is some "no true scotsman" stuff.
With Florida no longer an electoral college issue, it's time to just get real with Cuba and just fuck those older fascist Cubans. >

Although I agree in principle with removing all sanctions, capitalism will negatively transform Cuba overnight. The 1950s automobiles will be bought and exported by wealthy Americans. The natural beauty of Cuba's indigenous flora and fauna will quickly be destroyed by tourism.
It's difficult to say how best to proceed. >

America removing their illegal blockade wouldn't change Cuba's internal system, and this isn't even proposing doing that. >

America is not blockading Cuba. >

The US embargo against Cuba includes provisions punishing trade partners that trade with Cuba, meaning no one can trade with Cuba without getting sanctioned by the US, adhering to strict US regulations, or being a strong enough trading bloc on their own to negotiate with the US (So just China).
It is in effect a blockade.
Edit: UN representatives call it a blockade. >

Just China?  Canada trades with Cuba.  The EU trades with Cuba.  Mexico trades with Cuba.  Much of South America, etc. >

As does many other countries. But the ways and what can be traded with the Cubans is limited by the US. (Which is why the rest of the world cares)
Although saying other countries trade with Cuba as if they just do it openly and easily is misleading. The two largest trading partners of Cuba by a mile are Venezuela and China. >

Spin looks ahead of Venezuela by the most recent numbers I could quickly find, as well as China on the imports side.  But I'm not going to keep chasing these goalposts.  Have a nice day. >

DeSantis Lt Gov suggested busing Cuban "illegals" to Delaware Then she walked the statement back after some soft pushback from Miami Cuban-Americans.
I wonder how Miami Cuban-Americans will react to this? 🤔 >

Poorly. Miami Cuban-Americans are fanatical. >

As a mainland Cuban, this actually brings me hope. 
These people are amazing. >

I hope we can resume the process of normalization with your country friend.
I visited back in 2014 and the locals in Havana were so welcoming and really opened my eyes to how Cuba is. You guys deserve your sovereignty and I'm glad you guys are still doing okay. >

I've been looking at doing some tourism via Canada. Do you have any recommendations as far as places to stay or fun activities for couples? My girlfriend and I have had it on our bucket list for years. >

Highly recommend checking out this Cuba travel thread in r/travel.
I used it for my last trip and it helped me find info on everything from where to find good food, cigars, resorts, currency exchanges, etc.
Crime is Cuba is actually really safe for tourists, though if you aren't a fan of panhandlers, just a fair warning that if you look remotely first world, there will be people who try to strike up long conversations seeming like they want to connect but will eventually just ask you for money. I don't blame them for that though, times are tough. >

When will people realize that the US purposely sabotages left wing countries with sanctions and boycotts. >

Dictatorships are not left wing in any way.
I do not understand why people want to pretend a dictator that calls himself a communist or socialist is supposed to be left.  There is nothing left about how these dictators run their countries.
Communism and socialism require actually giving resources to the people, not hoarding them for the elites chosen by the dictator.
Cuba, venezuela, china, etc are not left.  They are all dictatorships.
