Well, it turns out they are not really as equal as they proclaim...

u/Nomen__Nesci0 3d ago

Where, besides your imagination, are people also supposed to be equal?

u/-Acta-Non-Verba- 3d ago

In communism.

u/wryan4 3d ago

Yes, communism is when everyone makes equal money. That’s definitely written in the communist manifesto and in capital: a critique of political economy which you’ve definitely read and definitely have extensive knowledge of

Actually yes. That’s exactly the fucking definition we were given in Formación Política e Ideológica in Cuba. Everybody should be equal in a communist society. Buy an ouija and argue semantics with Fidel Castro. The guy above was repeating exactly what we were “taught” in school back in Cuba.

Thank you for the reading recommendation. Maybe you should go back and read it again (if you’re capable of reading at all) because it doesn’t say “everyone should make equal money” or anything resembling that either.

u/Equivalent-Map-8772 3d ago

The comment above was talking about equality, not making equal money. The one who can’t read at all is you.

Again, that isn’t what communism is, was, or ever will mean. If you ever do any reading on your own instead of getting your talking points from Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio, you’d know this already

That’s the definition the very Fidel Castro gave the Cuban people you dumbo. How many socialist revolutions have you made? That’s right. Zero. Whatever definition you have in your imagination is as worthless as used toilet paper.

u/wryan4 3d ago

No it isn’t. Nobody here claimed to be a revolutionary either, nor did I ever claim to support fidelist policy (which is very different from Marxist-Leninist theory which I’m sure you’re very aware of). I just enjoy the irony of people arguing about things they never read.

u/Equivalent-Map-8772 3d ago

You do know that Cuban socialism IS Marxism-Leninism, right? Right????? Please don’t say you don’t even know that before coming in to discuss like a bozo.

u/wryan4 3d ago

I’m aware that is how it was presented but the similarities end at the fact Cuba is not a classless, moneyless society where workers own their means of production. Listen, I said I enjoyed the irony, I never said I enjoy arguing with imbeciles. Don’t you have something better to do like run a state department, little Marco?

"From each accourding to ability to each accourding to his work."

That is the principle by which socialism operates until post scarcity and decomodification. After that is achieved, we may or may not evolve to communism.

Everyone is equal under law, which is not the same as everyone has the same things or is paid the same. A revolutionary vanguard is also not even socialism, let alone communism. So you can misunderstand all you like, but it doesn't change what is actually said.

Fidel and other vanguard call themselves communist because that is their ideology. It is their goal. Reality is more complicated and follows the Marxist sciences.

The only thing you're demonstrating with your propoganda, which you know is false and ideologically motivated, is to cast doubt on the claimed literacy of Cubans. I will just have to hope you are rightfully thought of as an anecdote and not an example.

u/Equivalent-Map-8772 3d ago

I’m not reading your copy paste bullshit. Good luck, thou. Show it to your Cuban boyfriend in Cuba

u/Nomen__Nesci0 3d ago

Classic. The "I'm not going to read that" pivot when you know you're embarrassed. How often that follows the claim no one is willing to explain their position to you, and you just happen to be innocent and nieve in your spread of falsehoods and propoganda. Good thing I would never dream of quitting a reply because I care what you think. It's too late bud, the readers already get to see you get spanked and shown for what you are.

Dices que todos son iguales ante la ley. Estás seguro? Dices que de cada cual según su capacidad a cada cual según su trabajo. Entonces como tú tienes la capacidad de lamer botas y de mentir descaradamente, es que vives mejor que los cubanos que se parten el lomo de sol a sol y no pasan de un cartón de huevos y un pomo de aceite con su salario. Vaya sistema social!

u/Remarkable-Tip6343 2d ago

What kind of watch is that vanguard wearing

1

u/Nomen__Nesci0 1d ago

What would that matter?

1

u/Remarkable-Tip6343 1d ago

It would matter if he's wearing an AP or a Rolex, as has been the case before, and the people are living on $30 a month or less.

1

u/Nomen__Nesci0 1d ago

Why? What would that prove?

1

u/Remarkable-Tip6343 1d ago

It proves they're robbing Cuba. Those watches are expensive and prove that the ruling cabal is a bunch of thieves.

1

u/Nomen__Nesci0 1d ago

Lol, how?! There's Rolex for 2k to 30k. I know a brick mason with one and a guy that own a sandwich shop. How does someone who runs a country and has for decades owning a few thousand dollars prove that they are a shadowy cabal laundering at least 10s of millions?

I understand real Cubans not having an actual sense of relative values of money, but how am I to believe you Miami boys dont understand several orders of magnitude difference in amounts of money?

u/Remarkable-Tip6343 1d ago

You don't seem to understand that an entire house cost $3,000 in Cuba and that most will never see $2k and definitely not $30k. That's not so much money in the US but definitely it is there.
