This is why you don't argue with a great poet.
Look at that stupid ass reply
"My bourgeois slave owner family were working class people, you're a fake communist for not defending them "
Yes let's go talk to 'Cubans' (are you really Cuban if you haven't lived there in 60 years?) in Florida, who have completely mythologized their actions and suffering at this point.
Also, dude literally has an American flag in the background of his picture, very not serious person
Gusanos, specially Cuban and South Vietnamese, are one of the most entitled people ever. Theres a book written by a lib, called "Cuban Privilege", that talks about how Cubans aren't considered immigrants but rather political refugees, as such they receive a bunch of free stuff from the Federal and State goverments. The author argues that the Cubans don't actually classify as political refugees per UN rules, and that meanwhile actual political refugees from Haiti, El Salvador and Guatemala, get treated like shit. And that this Privilege the Cubans have, could be used on actual refugees and Americans who need welfare. Guasanos got really mad about this, there used to be a blog with a really funny delusional review of this book.
The Castro regime claims that the source of all its failures are U.S. sanctions, but the failures are due to communist central planning that the Castro regime imposed on Cuba in 1959.
Tens of thousands of Cubans have drowned or disappeared in the Florida Straits, trying to reach the freedom of the US. Fidel Castro did not begin blaming Washington for the problems he had created until 1991 when the Soviet Union imploded. This was the year that Havana began campaigning to condemn the U.S. embargo at the United Nations General Assembly.
Earlier this year, Boston University professor Susan Eva Eckstein published “Cuban Privilege: The Making of Immigrant Inequality in America,” a 300-page book that perpetuates the myth that Cubans are a privileged immigrant class. To argue her point, the author implies that the Cuban identity as “refugees” seeking asylum was a mere construct, not a reality. This is an inaccurate assertion that denies the facts of the Cuban experience and callously disregards the historical tragedies caused by Fidel Castro‘s brutal regime.
Incredible dicovery, thanks for sharing!
(are you really Cuban if you haven't lived there in 60 years?
not a good idea to spread, consider how a actully displaced person may feel.
Yeah your right, context matters. It's okay to shit on gusanos. I was a war refugee, and I can't stand westernized people from my country—they're a pain to be around.
oh im fully down with shiting on gusanos im married to the biggest gusano hater of them all, when we last had to go to maimi you could see the viseral disgust roiling off of him the whole time.
the biggest gusano hater of them all
tbh the big man was probably a bit too kind to them... can't really fault him for having too much humanity though

Right?? He's got that dad bod now, but he's still a catch.

government theft from working class people
You ain't working class if you own the ranch, your employees are.
The "employees" probably weren't even working class, they were something closer to serfs serving landlords. These were nearly all literal slave plantations just a few decades prior and the new sustem was tenant farmers handing over half of their crops to the landlord and usually selling the rest to the landlord.
Serfs and slaves are working class (as in, theyre doing the work in society), they're not proles though.
"go talk to cubans in florida"
gee, i wonder if they're biased in any sort of way.
I would suggest talking to Cubans in Cuba but I remembered American citizens can't do that
I'm not the biggest RatM fan but I always love a good dunk by Morello. Dude is based.

He also has a pro union folk rock album
Nice, playing it now.
This is as dope as when I found out Serj from SoaD has been doing solo stuff for years.
Is he on hexbear?
He sounds like he would be on hexbear
Hi Tom if you're reading this love your music, can I borrow $2000?
From now on, every post on /c/mutual_aid should be directly adressed to Tom Morello.
I honestly would not be surprised.
Wtf I thought Tom Morello was a lib
Nah he's always been based. He used to have "arm the homeless" written on his guitar.
I really liked this one, too (photo is of a replica):
Promoting the Shining Path is pretty though.
Yeah. Ratm also did Free Tibet stuff as well. Hopefully, they outgrew that.
Tibet and Tiananmen Square were big anti-China talking points at the time, even Chumbawamba did a Tiananmen song. It really doesn't feel like Free Tibet had any legs past the 90s, though.
I know next-to-nothing about Peruvian politics. I've always thought of them as problematic—overall better good than bad—but I don't know any specifics. Is there somewhere I can read more about it?
Asking in good faith, of course. Not as a "SOURCE???? " dipshit, obviously.
It's been a while since I looked into it, but what I remember finding was that they engaged in a lot of terrorism that wasn't necessarily directed at the ruling class.
-Massacred a lot of peasants.
-Including babies
-Sometimes executed people with boiling water or other forms of torture
Abimael Guzman, their leader, IIRC admitted to most of this in interviews and called it revolutionary excess.
I've seen some dispute the boiling babies thing, but everyone seems to agree they killed a whole lot of peasants.
My understanding is that boiling peasants isn't disputed, and neither is killing peasant babies, but that specifically boiling babies is disputed.
For me personally, "Hey, we only scalded adults to death, we shot their babies" is still really bad. That's like some IOF stuff.
And it became ridiculously cult-like later in their existence, owing it more to their leader than any kind of revolutionary stance. And still kinda are to this day
He always gave me anarchosyndicalist vibes.
