    “Free” elections in Cuba would just mean immediate US vassalage. Influencing elections in the Caribbean and Latin America is a practically a US hobby.

      Right? It’s easy to bloviate about “free, democratic fair elections” when you’re the world’s superpower. When you live NEXT to the world’s superpower, there’s no such thing.

        Fantastically well said. Cuba’s a very democratic country, moreso than the US, so when people accuse it of not being so that can only mean they wish to remove the safeguards preventing US recolonization.

        We said free and fair which is not the same as free and democratic.

      If giving the Cubans the choice to no longer pursue Marxism resulted in them choosing to no longer follow Marxism why should that be stopped? If that was what the population wanted why should the state force them to adhere to an unwanted ideology?
