Candidates don't run as part of a political party. It sounds to me like you're just repeating nonsense some anti-communist made up.

Where are you getting that you have to be a socialist to run in Cuba?

Oh, you mean like that thing you'd have to do if you wanted to peacefully or otherwise transition governments and not just impotently complain? He got murdered for that? Huh.

Wow it is almost like when Trump put them on the state sponsor of terror list for literally no reason and Biden kept them there their standard of living has gone down. Shocking.

We need a transcomrade69 but for racism

Okay, in the real world they don't, and they want the state to protect them from a backslide into an inherently violent economic system by targetting people who advocate for that system.

Weird, it is almost like you're in an anti-communist media ecosystem that doesn't broadcast it.

If the people want a different system what is the justice in forcing them to maintain a system that does not work for them?

But they don't, so there is justice in maintaining that system against a small amount of dissidents and foreign sabotage.

Nothing would happen to me if I advocate for the overthrow if Im not advocating for violence.

Historically this is how black communists get bullets and white communists get prison cells.

There even is a specific right to completely replace the government in the constitution.

And remind me of the mechanism, and how it doesn't involve forces that are invested in the status quo?

Cuba has higher living standards than the US under a 60 year siege lmao

Hy would creating a system that does not respond to the desires of its population be good?

How is crushing far right dissent not keeping with the desires of the population?

What if it becomes obvious that socialism isn't working or if change is needed?

Then you modify socialism. As socialists keep doing rather successfully. Socialism is an iterative process after all.

The freedom to replace the government is critical.

If you started advocating the overthrow of your government what would happen to you?

So a good thing then? Why would you want capitalism to return?

What do you mean by authoritarian in this context?

Cuba being economically socialist has intersectional effects that massively benefit lgbt people in a way capitalism never can or will.

Remind me when did any western country get all homeless and/or malnourished lgbt people into better conditions? When did they have universal Healthcare for trans people that wasn't gatekeeped to hell and intentionally underfunded?

It was invented before then by nazi publications?

I mean no, they've had a better record than most western countries for most of their existence, gay marriage legalization is just less important than other rights. Especially in places where legally recognized families aren't as heavily emphasized legally or economically.

To be clear, you are accusing the mainstream Jewish holocaust expert who wrote the essay of being a tankie?

Stop doing nazi propaganda.

Democracy is when no political party dominates, and the more power doesn't consolidate around a very justifiably popular party the more democratic it is.

If the democrats started doing good things the last time they had concrete control over all three branches and jumped to something like 80 percent popularity and got 80 percent of the vote, that would be undemocratic. Just like how the CPC has an above 90 percent approval rate according to international observers and holds almost all political offices in China.
