Was just thinking about this since I’m wearing my Cuba WBC cap around town (from the most recent WBC when Cuba was actually “allowed” to be in charge of their own team).

The imperialists may have put a man on the moon, but they'll never put a man in Havana.

Fidel Castro was a saint compared to most these pedo world leaders. The more I read about Cuba the more in awe I am of what they've been able to accomplish. Especially, being so close to the US.

He killed business owners. Still think he's a "saint"?

Many priests have been excommunicated when they got too badass practicing liberation theology. So not so sure.

Hmm, idk. Is there something better than a Saint?

[-] supafuzz@hexbear.net 26 points 8 months ago

in a better society we would be singing songs of Castro as a heroic demigod figure, like Hercules

If the US never had that embargo and simply had a "you believe this, I believe that. May the best economic system win." mindset, I am sure Cuba would make Sweden look like Mississippi to libs.

just reminded me this was what Henry Wallace (FDR's vice pres until replaced by truman) planned to do instead of the cold war and made me wistful for things that we weren't able to have

[-] SkingradGuard@hexbear.net 15 points 8 months ago

Imagine what could've been instead of the cold war sadness

They have better rum too. I got to have some Havana Club when I went abroad. It was as cheap as that gusano Bacardi shit but wayyy better

[-] GaryLeChat@lemmygrad.ml 26 points 8 months ago

Fun fact, Havana Club is distilled in the old Bacardi factory in Cuba that was nationalized in the years after the revolution.

I've heard talk that the Bacardi family still has a bounty for some bathtub or something to be retrieved from the factory lol. Gusanos still butthurt about not being able to exploit Cubans.

Another WBC watcher? That shit is always fun to watch

[-] star_wraith@hexbear.net 10 points 8 months ago

Yeah I initially didn’t care for it, but it’s really grown on me over the years. Seems like fans in Latam really get into it, so that’s good enough for me.

I think this last time around was the first time that Cuba actually got to run the Cuba team (before I think was basically run by gusanos apart from the Cuban govt.

Japan killed it this year. yea they're running dogs but at least they beat their imperial master

[-] bdonvr@thelemmy.club 8 points 8 months ago

I'm really hoping to go to Cuba next summer... working hard on my Spanish until then

[-] Ocommie63@lemmygrad.ml 2 points 8 months ago

I hope you get to go, I know I wish I could
