China's solar parks are reshaping Cuba's power grid as the island races to reduce blackouts and fuel dependence.

    That’s based. But didn’t Cuba basically rescind their Communist policies recently because of a lack of international support and the US sanctions having crippled the country

          Next you’ll be telling me that China and Vietnam abandoned socialism because they use markets.

            The Cuban social system is not being abandoned because they wanted to but because the US successfully imposed it on Cuba.

              Cuban social system isn’t being abandoned period. Please stop spreading ultra nonsense on here.

                  The word ultra is used to refer to idealist leftists who are divorced from the real world and can’t understand the concept of having to make compromises. It’s the people Lenin wrote this book for, specifically this chapter https://www.marxists.org/archive/lenin/works/1920/lwc/ch08.htm

          Yet more examples of splitting. In the span of weeks, BE was promoted to golden god of truth & righteousness, and Cuba demoted to capitalist pigs.

      You should listen to this podcast episode which argues that Cuba did not, in fact, “rescind its communist policies”, and that Cuba has long been navigating the constraints of the blockade in various ways, for decades

        Wow I just listened to a two hour podcast of three people doing ZERO mentions of how China and Russia are dropping the ball on international solidarity because apparently that doesn’t exist. Apparently the USSR disappeared and now Cuba just has nobody to count on well gee that sucks. Gotta implement capitalist policies now!

        Am I glad I don’t listen to these Grahan Platner fans often. BadEmpanada doesn’t care about pissing off some of his audience. These guys are farming.

          Is this your only insult? Are you stupid? Do you think an iraqi Communist has any positive things to say about Graham fucking Platner?

            Yugopnik has another podcast with massive Graham Platner fan MikeFromPA in which they conveniently never talk about Graham Platner.

            Oh how nice of everyone to dance around the Nazi bar. Wouldn’t want to rock the Nazi boat!

            Guess who did call it out.

    I wouldn’t be surprised if China might also be supplying weapons to Cuba.

    What’s up with the down votes? I’m hoping they’re armed to the teeth if the US tries any shit.
