This is an excellent episode of @upstreampodcast.bsky.social on what Cuba was like before the revolution. Listen to understand why we can never allow the US and its stooges to re-establish neocolonial power in Cuba.

“...fascism is nothing more than a final solution to the class struggle, the totalistic submergence and exploitation of democratic forces for the benefit and profit of higher financial circles. Fascism is a false revolution. It propagates a 'new order' while saving the same old moneyed interests.”

Studying Thomas Sankara is urgent right now. He named imperialism for what it is, warned that debt is domination, and insisted the Global South deserves dignity, not obedience.
