          Cuba is one of the least bad of the lot that tankies usually simp for, but yes, Cuba to some extent too.

              Yeah. The PEOPLE’S suppression of democratic elections!

              At the same time, it falls under the same umbrella as Cuba - it’s pretty low on the list of “atrocity-heavy polities that tankies simp for”, though that’s damnation by faint praise as much as anything.

            Oh most definitely, but it still belongs on the list.

            arguably a lot of issues in Cuba are due to the US embargo (which also affects a number of other countries as the US is in a negotiation position to demand third parties also follow the embargo if they want to deal with US entities), but that does not alleviate the numerous human rights issues observed there.

    It really comes down to authoritarianism. Doesn’t matter which financial or social foothold it arrived from.
