US Neo-Imperialism is killing Cuba and these posts are merely documenting this crime as it unfolds. When the USSR collapsed in 19991, many of us switched to financially donating to Cuba in an effort to beat the blockade. Yes – it was basically small amounts – but it all added-up in a time prior to the internet. Of course, an individual cannot take the place of the State – particularly members of the working-class who do not possess very much income and whose resources are always stretched. The capitalist countries outside of the US do not care about Cuba – as they support the destruction of all Socialism. Those Socialist countries that do exist are either developing themselves (and exist in various stages of poverty), or are immersed in the capitalist system (through trade) – so that they cannot provide an alternative to it (as the USSR used to do). Merely complaining every so – often using words – does nothing to prevent the strangle-hold the US has on Cuba. The US is creating poverty – and then blaming Socialism for this poverty. It is an old US trick (after centuries of making immense profit and wealth from African slavery – the North impoverished the South through a sea blockade – claiming “slavery is unprofitable”). Economic terrorism is the American way. As with Saddam Hussein’s Iraq – after years of sanctions killing Iraqi people – the US switched from sanctions to bombs and bullets to speed-up the process. Stay tuned.
