      The main opposition figure in Venezuela has been openly begging for the US to bomb the country to smithereens and she can do whaterver she wants. That’s not a dictatorship. In the US she would’ve been put into solitary confinement.

      You need to read about Cuban democracy. People spend way more of their daily lives in democratic formations, driving the direction of their neighborhoods, villages, cities, and workplaces than an American could even dream of.

          pretty sure the U.S. has a higher per capita incarceration rate than Cuba.

            Wow, great interview.

            It mirrors quite a bit of what I read about Soviet and GDR prisons
