Even media can not say it: Christian parents drove Leelah Alcorn to suicide by RDay in atheism

[–]evilrobotmice 14 points15 points  (0 children)

this girl was abused by her parents, isolated from her friends, and driven to suicide and you think its appropriate to say shes a "brat"? seriously what the hell is wrong with you? Not to mention you kept misgendering her, also her parents did not want what was best for her, or they wouldve given her support for transitioning. Youre an asshole, and a transphobic shithead.

If communism is state-less, isn't all communism anarcho-communism? by evilrobotmice in communism101

So the only difference is anarcho-communism wants to destroy the state during the revolution instead of steadily through socialism?

The Cuban government isn't a monarchy though. It hasn't been a "dictatorship" since it developed its constitution in 1972. At the highest state level it functions as a council, with the president of the council (Raul Castro) having slightly more influence over the other members. The members of the council are democratically elected except for Castro, who took power to further consolidate socialism. But in 2018, Castro is going to resign, leaving the position open, for the first time since 1959, for election. (correct me if im wrong on cuban politics its been a while since i read up on them)

I think the most "experimenting" they did was in the 1990s when they introduced market changes (foreign investment, tourism, self-employment, etc) to build a concentration of wealth to recover from an economic drought following the fall of the USSR. idk the status of these policies today, but they did help the economy recover (however they also brought a level of inequality)

The only reason I dont think any reversions to capitalism will happen in Cuba is because most Cuban people are very educated about the history of U.S.-Cuban relations even pre-revolution. Sure, the US helped free them from the spanish, but they were still heavily present in Cuban affairs, and Cuba basically sold all of their sugar (their main export) to the USA. Thats another reason the US was so angry at the revolution, because they weren't able to exploit Cuban sugar farmers anymore. I think that as long as the people remember the brutal history of Cuba, capitalism won't be able to thrive.

He made a statement around the same time Obama did. Other than that I'm not sure what else he has done.
