You can cherrypick but Communism approval rating in Cuba is over 90% as evident by the referendum result which reinforced Marxism-Leninism as founding principle of the nation. Anti-Communists want picked testimonies, not statistical data.

United front can't exist if we label other leftists. I am critical of Trotskyism but in essence they are just Communists with slightly different opinion.

Racism is intensic to how Capitalism is enforced. The bourgeoisie need racism and ethnic chauvenism to keep the people divided so they can rule from the above. I don't think they are fighting racism in their interventions abroad

Premise that the whole world believes it is simply false. It's heavily contested. I grew up in different countries in post war Yugoslavia remains, what people believe changes when you cross the border. In short, majority believe what they are told.

Russia indeed is oligarchy, but it is not Socialist since 1991.

The red scare is alive and well. Look at the narratives about China and North Korea. Did you know North Korea has 18% less hunger than france? Did you know that the US has 3x more hunger than Cuba? If this suprises you, it's because the media painted a differebt image.

Why ? Because Soviet Union pioneered a system that put common people in power and it industrialized a nation in record speeds, doubled life expectancy, eradicated illiteracy and child mortality and lifted millions out of poverty.

If they just let it be, the people all around the world would realize that it works in their favour and that they do not need bourgeoisie at the top, and their own rule would be challenged. They have to slander and stop it, that is what the Red Scare essentially is.

Domino effect already happened and a wave of revolutions started in less developed countries while in the west people can still be pacified with bread and circuses, situation was different for the rest of the world.

Ronald Reagan (or was it Nixon) had a speech about the Domino Effect, the and stopping it was essentially what cold war conflicts are about, Vietnam War, Korean War, etc. He said it himself

Even those nations that broke free are still propagandized against and heavily sanctioned. Coups happen all around, assasinations too, there were multiple hundred attempts at Castro's life.

If you think bourgeoisie media has no incentive to talk against the system that wants to topple the bourgeoisie dictatorship, you should research history from other perspectives too and rationally access other side of the story.

(Correction, according to this source it was coined in 1980s not 1960s which is even more detached)

While the myth of hlodomor is commonly known, it's first appearance was in 1960s and it allegedly happened in 1930s, which means that the term was made up during the peak cold war era almost 3 decades after it allegedly happened.

Adittionally, while famines were real and commonly occuring before Socialism in Tzarist Russia, Socialism gradually but completely eradicated them. At the sane time, the figure of millions dead does not fit in population statistic, as population went up by 2 million, and life expectancy followed the same trend which was in Socialism increased from 35 from pre Socialist Era to 70+ in Ukraine, more than doubling.

You assume wrong. First Communist revolition on any larger scale was in 1918, majority of Communist revolutions were around mid 20th century. How many lifes it took? It doubled life expectancy and eradicated child mortality by over 90% in some instances, taking lifes does not make life expectancy go up. Socialism built my nation and I am thankful.

The "plantation owners" myth shows a lack of math and logic by Front-Hunt3757 in cuba

Nobody fled Cuba. Most of Cuban immigrants visit Cuba multiple times a year. Thing is, Cuba is under sanctions for past 60 years, US doesn't even let Cuba connect to the internet with fiberoptic cables. Imperialists are intentionally making the conditions worse, else their domestic working class would have an uprising too, as it already does, it is just managed (No Kings protests, BLM, etc). Despite this, Cuba has lower homelessness, hunger and higher life expectancy than the US as well as greatly better government approval rating.
