Yes let's go talk to 'Cubans' (are you really Cuban if you haven't lived there in 60 years?) in Florida, who have completely mythologized their actions and suffering at this point.

Also, dude literally has an American flag in the background of his picture, very not serious person

Gusanos, specially Cuban and South Vietnamese, are one of the most entitled people ever. Theres a book written by a lib, called "Cuban Privilege", that talks about how Cubans aren't considered immigrants but rather political refugees, as such they receive a bunch of free stuff from the Federal and State goverments. The author argues that the Cubans don't actually classify as political refugees per UN rules, and that meanwhile actual political refugees from Haiti, El Salvador and Guatemala, get treated like shit. And that this Privilege the Cubans have, could be used on actual refugees and Americans who need welfare. Guasanos got really mad about this, there used to be a blog with a really funny delusional review of this book.

The Castro regime claims that the source of all its failures are U.S. sanctions, but the failures are due to communist central planning that the Castro regime imposed on Cuba in 1959.

Tens of thousands of Cubans have drowned or disappeared in the Florida Straits, trying to reach the freedom of the US. Fidel Castro did not begin blaming Washington for the problems he had created until 1991 when the Soviet Union imploded. This was the year that Havana began campaigning to condemn the U.S. embargo at the United Nations General Assembly.

Earlier this year, Boston University professor Susan Eva Eckstein published “Cuban Privilege: The Making of Immigrant Inequality in America,” a 300-page book that perpetuates the myth that Cubans are a privileged immigrant class. To argue her point, the author implies that the Cuban identity as “refugees” seeking asylum was a mere construct, not a reality. This is an inaccurate assertion that denies the facts of the Cuban experience and callously disregards the historical tragedies caused by Fidel Castro‘s brutal regime.

Incredible dicovery, thanks for sharing!

(are you really Cuban if you haven't lived there in 60 years?

not a good idea to spread, consider how a actully displaced person may feel.

[-] Seasonal_Peace@hexbear.net 37 points 1 day ago

Yeah your right, context matters. It's okay to shit on gusanos. I was a war refugee, and I can't stand westernized people from my country—they're a pain to be around.

[-] sweet_pecan@hexbear.net 25 points 1 day ago

I would suggest talking to Cubans in Cuba but I remembered American citizens can't do that agony-shivering

government theft from working class people

You ain't working class if you own the ranch, your employees are.

[-] Barx@hexbear.net 33 points 1 day ago

The "employees" probably weren't even working class, they were something closer to serfs serving landlords. These were nearly all literal slave plantations just a few decades prior and the new sustem was tenant farmers handing over half of their crops to the landlord and usually selling the rest to the landlord.

[-] keepcarrot@hexbear.net 22 points 1 day ago

Serfs and slaves are working class (as in, theyre doing the work in society), they're not proles though.

[-] Barx@hexbear.net 9 points 1 day ago

In Marxist terms, the working class and the proletariat are conflated. Marx sometimes called the working class "the wage-working class" and then, synonymously, "the working class". Tenant farmers are usually distinguished due to a different class interest, which is to say that their primary goal (historically, along with other kinds of peasant) has been to obtain the land they work on, which Marxists usually describe as a petty bourgeois ambition. This emerges due to their relation to production, where they experience essentially the full gamut of the production of crops through their labor, usually only being alienated by a lack of ownership of the land itself and maybe some of the equipment. The development of uniting these peasant interests of land reform with proletarian interests in the cities was one of the key factors in successful revolutions led by MLs. After the revolution, this then immediately led to a need to deal with the petty bourgeois interests of peasany landowners, usually by limiting the amount of farming land that anyone other than the state could own and sometimes needing to immediately fight a small war against peasants that revolted due to their interests clashing with those of the industrial workers and the program of the revolutionary party(ies).

Apologies if much of this is review, just adding context in the hope that it is explanatory of my meaning.

Hi Tom if you're reading this love your music, can I borrow $2000?

[-] Pili@hexbear.net 59 points 1 day ago

From now on, every post on /c/mutual_aid should be directly adressed to Tom Morello.

[-] Nakoichi@hexbear.net 40 points 1 day ago

I honestly would not be surprised.

Wtf I thought Tom Morello was a lib

[-] Nakoichi@hexbear.net 65 points 1 day ago

Nah he's always been based. He used to have "arm the homeless" written on his guitar.

[-] Thordros@hexbear.net 26 points 1 day ago

I really liked this one, too (photo is of a replica):

[-] BelieveRevolt@hexbear.net 21 points 1 day ago

Promoting the Shining Path is pretty cringe though.

[-] JoeByeThen@hexbear.net 22 points 1 day ago

Yeah. Ratm also did Free Tibet stuff as well. Hopefully, they outgrew that.

[-] BelieveRevolt@hexbear.net 25 points 1 day ago

Tibet and Tiananmen Square were big anti-China talking points at the time, even Chumbawamba did a Tiananmen song. It really doesn't feel like Free Tibet had any legs past the 90s, though.

[-] Thordros@hexbear.net 12 points 1 day ago

I know next-to-nothing about Peruvian politics. I've always thought of them as problematic—overall better good than bad—but I don't know any specifics. Is there somewhere I can read more about it?

Asking in good faith, of course. Not as a "SOURCE???? berdly-smug" dipshit, obviously.

[-] TheLepidopterists@hexbear.net 18 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

It's been a while since I looked into it, but what I remember finding was that they engaged in a lot of terrorism that wasn't necessarily directed at the ruling class.

-Massacred a lot of peasants.

-Including babies

-Sometimes executed people with boiling water or other forms of torture

Abimael Guzman, their leader, IIRC admitted to most of this in interviews and called it revolutionary excess.

[-] BelieveRevolt@hexbear.net 14 points 1 day ago

I've seen some dispute the boiling babies thing, but everyone seems to agree they killed a whole lot of peasants.

[-] TheLepidopterists@hexbear.net 15 points 1 day ago

My understanding is that boiling peasants isn't disputed, and neither is killing peasant babies, but that specifically boiling babies is disputed.

For me personally, "Hey, we only scalded adults to death, we shot their babies" is still really bad. That's like some IOF stuff.

[-] Torenico@hexbear.net 12 points 1 day ago

And it became ridiculously cult-like later in their existence, owing it more to their leader than any kind of revolutionary stance. And still kinda are to this day
