    Cuba’s system of governance does not conform to western liberal norms, but that doesn’t make it bad, it’s just different. The Cuban people have a remarkable amount of input into their own governance.

    I know tankiejerk is the wrong place to be saying this, and if all you want to do is jerk, have fun. But if you’re legitimately curious, “We Are Cuba” by Helen Yaffe is a cool dive into kind of how Cuba works in general.

      Have you ever met a Cuban person in real life? In what context? What was their position in Cuban society? Perhaps you can provide a different perspective from my experience, I am genuinely curious.

      I will have to repeat myself:

      Do you live in a democracy (flawed or otherwise)? You seriously want to live in a country without real elections?

      There is a beautiful irony about your “all you want to do is jerk, have fun” statement.
