Cubans turn to free community pharmacies as medicines grow scarce. Really!

What are deranged leftists dreaming or wishful thinking about! The leftists obsession with the misery and dictatorship ruling Cuba (incl. Fidel Castro) since 1961 is really weird and strange!

Communism is famous for scarcity and outdated medicine!

"Cubans turn to free community pharmacies as medicines grow scarce – AP"

Maybe good news:

"... The shortages have become so severe that Cuban authorities issued regulations in July allowing private pharmacies to operate — a historic change to the country’s state-run health system and part of broader economic reforms. ..."

Cuba is Incubating Lefty Terror Attacks in America

Why is Cuba still a one-party ruled communist country!

When will Cuba libre finally become reality!!!

Latest since the serious Cuba Missile Crisis of 1962, communist Cuba has been a national security issue for the US. and exporter of communism around the world and in particular in Latin America!

"The State Department published a damning report documenting the Cuban communist regime’s nefarious activities in America.

Among the revelations: Cuba has been training over 10,000 American left-wing activists and funding dissent in this country. They have the ability to organize disruptive demonstrations at most military bases and immigration facilities at a day’s notice. ...

Former Venceremos brigadier Karen Bass managed to get elected as mayor of America’s second-largest city. She has advanced causes favorable to the Cuban regime, such as calling to lift sanctions on the communist regime. When the Cuban tyrant Fidel Castro died, she mourned him as “Comandante en Jefe” — commander in chief. ...

Isra Hirsi, daughter of Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.), made a trip to Havana in March. She thanked the People’s Forum for organizing the trip, despite concerns that the organization may be a Chinese Communist Party propaganda arm. People’s Forum denies any wrongdoing.

Some Cuban operatives aren’t as overtly revolutionary and work through more conventional political and professional channels, including nonprofit institutions and political organizations such as the Democratic Socialists of America.

Since 2019, the DSA has expanded its activism related to Cuba. The party has intensified this engagement during the second Trump administration. ...

The DSA sent 40 rank-and-file and governing members to Havana. They met with communist officials, including Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs Carlos Cossío Domínguez. The DSA also participated in the trip that sent Hirsi and far-left streamer Hasan Piker — who recently called Mao Zedong “one of the great leaders of this world” — to Cuba.

Fortunately, the Trump administration has accelerated its efforts against the communist-influence network in America. A federal court is investigating far-left China-based billionaire Neville Roy Singham, a chief financier of the nonprofit network supporting communist activities.

Besides the People’s Forum, Singham is a major contributor to Code Pink. His wife, Jodie Evans, is the co-founder. Its leadership includes some of the country’s most prominent pro-Cuba activists, including Medea Benjamin, Claudia De la Cruz and Vivien Lesnik Weisman. A grand jury is reportedly investigating whether Singham’s activities may have violated the Foreign Agents Registration Act. ...

The Justice Department is also seeking the extradition of another far-left financier, James “Fergie” Chambers, who is living in Spain. ..."

Cuba In Deep Crisis: Is Collapse Of The Communist Regime Looming? – Analysis

One hopes that this article got it right!

Cuba libre! The communist rule since 1959 needs to end!

"On February 28, it was announced that for the first time in history, the Cuban communist regime requested humanitarian aid from the United Nations, specifically from the UN World Food Program (WFP), due to the impossibility of distributing subsidized milk to children under the age of 7. ...
Thirdly, the Trump administration tightened certain sanctions against Cuba that were lifted by the Obama administration, which greatly reduced the amount of money sent to the island by the Cuban diaspora from the US. The Trump establishment has banned trade with companies acting on behalf of the Cuban military, Cuban intelligence and security services. It is also forbidden for Americans to travel to Cuba for educational and cultural purposes. The Biden administration eased some restrictions, but not all. ...

As previously mentioned, in July 2021, massive anti-government protests broke out across Cuba. They were the biggest protests since the communists came to power in 1959 and seriously shook the regime. The protesters were motivated by the poor state of the economy, the government’s failure to implement promised economic and political reforms, resentment at the authoritarianism of the government, the restriction of civil liberties, as well as the introduction of quarantine due to the pandemic.

The protests lasted a week. The government responded by cracking down on protests, making hundreds of arrests and indicting at least 710 Cubans for crimes including sedition. Some protesters received long prison terms in trials that international organizations have deemed unfair. ..."

Cuba In Deep Crisis: Is Collapse Of The Communist Regime Looming? – Analysis – Eurasia Review

June 17, 1953 in the former German Democratic Republic (East Germany)

About 70 years ago, Germans in East Germany revolted against the communists! Caveat: I am not an expert on the events of this revolt.

This day is much less famous than e.g. 1989 Tiananmen Square protests and massacre, but that is a severe mistake! But the similarities are striking!

"Progress, far from consisting in change, depends on retentiveness. When change is absolute there remains no being to improve and no direction is set for possible improvement: and when experience is not retained, as among savages, infancy is perpetual. Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it."
George Santayana

A Brief History of America's Utopian Experiments in Communal Living between 1800-1860 by Lawrence Reed

Very recommendable! You can skip about the first 8 paragraphs or so. Utopia and dystopia are often close together.

Volunteer communism and collectivism has been tried before. It did not work very well in most cases!

There were about " 119 or so utopian communities of early 19th century America"

The Dark Side of Paradise: A Brief History of America's Utopian Experiments in Communal Living - Foundation for Economic Education What Brook Farm and other utopian communities of the 19th century sought is essentially unachievable. Yet the idea of a collectivist paradise remains alluring to many even today.

That there were about 500 KGB spies active in the President F. D. Roosevelt administration. by the 1930s there were about 200,000 members of the communist party in the U.S., which was directed by Moscow. What!

5 Things Marx Wanted to Abolish (Besides Private Property)

Very recommendable!

Karl Marx's much celebrated and famous 1848 Communist Manifesto is quite possibly one of the few readable publications of Karl Marx. It is perhaps his most revealing about his horrible philosophy!

Why ist this relevant today? It explains a lot of why we have culture wars, individual liberty vs. leftist tyranny etc. in Western societies.

The article does not explicitly say so, but all the quotes in this article are sourced from the Communist Manifesto!

In short, Karl Marx wanted to swiftly abolish (besides private property):

1. The family
2. Human individuality
3. Eternal or basic truths
4. Nation states
5. History, customs & traditions or simply the past

How Germany's 1917 'Deal With the Devil' Backfired and Changed History by Lawrence Reed

Recommendable! One of those famous examples in history where short term calculations went totally wrong and disastrous for decades to come!

Had Germany not allowed Lenin to travel from his exile in Switzerland to Russia in 1917 towards the end of World War I, history would have probably looked very different.

The Lin Biao Incident And The People’s Liberation Army Of Purges

Very recommendable!

However, the Joint Chiefs of Staff General Milley and the hapless Defense Secretary Austin need to resign or be fired over the Afghanistan debacle!

Given all the recent massive purges under the self anointed dictator for life Xi Jinping, is the current People's Liberation Army perhaps only a paper tiger?

"A hallmark of communist military culture is the ruthless purge of the most senior commanders who are considered able but simultaneously threatening to the supreme leader. During the Great Purge of the 1930s, Stalin purged three of his five Red Army marshals, thirteen of his fifteen army commanders, and eight of his nine admirals.
Not to be outmatched, the supreme leader of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) also has a similar bloody history of military purges. Of the ten People’s Liberation Army’s (PLA) marshals that Mao Zedong designated in 1955, three of them died tragic deaths in a direct purge by Mao, and nine of them were “struggled against” by Mao for harboring impure Marxist-Leninist thoughts and questionable loyalty to him, a precursor to physical elimination. ...

Xi Jinping, the current supreme dictator of the PRC and the general secretary of the CCP, has even outdone Mao in his ruthless purge of the PLA leadership. Since 2014, thousands of senior PLA officers have been purged. First on his chopping block were the two highest-ranking PLA commanders who ran the world’s largest armed force for over a decade until Xi’s rise to supremacy in 2012, vice chairmen of the CMC, Generals Xu Caihou and Guo Boxiong.

General Xu, purged in 2014, died in agony one year later; General Guo is now serving a life sentence in a communist prison. Included in the thousands of senior PLA officers promoted during Xu and Guo’s tenure are seven of the PLA’s highest ranking military generals. Xi’s military purge is so thorough that the entire senior military staff working under his predecessor, General Secretary Hu Jintao, has been purged.

The PLA has many enemies, but one of the biggest has always been its own purger-in-chief. Xi Jinping is no exception.

I hope, Steve Turley is right about the fall of communism in China!

Turley correctly points at a series of events that may contribute to the downfall of the communist regime in China evoking similarities to the former Soviet Union:

1. Latest coronavirus epidemic could be China's Chernobyl disaster
2. The long lasting, severe protests in Hong Kong against CPC domination
3. The recent killing of hundreds of millions of pigs to avoid the African swine flu

Another event that could be added is the reelection of president Tsai Ing-Wen in Taiwan
