This thread from Marina Medvin as we watch Cubans protest for their freedom is truly a must-read.
Hey, that’s the headline.
Ahem.
Someone who knows the dangers of socialism (communism) and how absolutely life-changing capitalism is for anyone who grows up in a socialist/communist country is definitely more of an expert than bureaucrats in DC telling us this is a peaceful protest in Cuba over rising COVID cases and not to worry, they are ‘strongly condemning’ any violence against protesters.
Case in point:

This editor’s heart broke reading this tweet.
And her short but impactful thread:
Socialism is waiting in line for bread and getting teeth drilled without Novocain because pain killers are a luxury.
Capitalism is photos in a grocery store filled with food and fluoride toothpaste. https://t.co/gGfeU9chEg pic.twitter.com/38CoaIGmrS

But you know, capitalism is evil or something. Our friends in groups like Black Lives Matter say so.
I had my head sewn together after a playground accident —without any painkillers. I had my teeth drilled — without any painkillers. I was 6 and 7.
But hey, you spoiled AF weak b!tch boy deformities tell me you know better than I about the virtues of socialized medicine.

What she said, again.
WOW!
What we American citizens take for granted.— CHKlaver2 (@ChKlaver2) June 29, 2021
And what they are fighting for in Cuba.
Sorry, Biden troglodytes, they’re not protesting because COVID cases are rising.
They are protesting because socialism/communism SUCKS.
I love this.
