                  No, clearly you don’t understand what they meant, nor how Cuba’s political system works. Please educate yourself before confidently calling dictatorship a country who’s political system you couldn’t explain the most basics of.

                  Here are videos to help you:

                  We Asked Cuban Voters If They Live In A Democracy Or Dictatorship. Here’s How They Responded.

                  Also, please learn what a class is.

                  im sorry, but you have been propagandized. the things you said are nothing but mere repetitions of cia lies about cuba, parroted since the 60s. please try learning about the actual conditions in cuba before and after the revolution before giving any statements.

          I’m sure you have some kind of a source for such an outlandish claim. How much time do you spend looking at the compensation of Cuban politicians?

              I’ve read the thread. You have no source and you have not even tried to educate yourself on the basics of the Cuban government. You invented an accusation out of thin air and are somehow surprised people don’t uncritically believe it.

                  Cuba now has a privileged elite defending it’s grip on power against the poor majority

                  Source this.

                  You have done zero investigation into how well off Cuban leaders are compared to the average Cuban. You have done zero investigation into how this compares to peer countries.

                  You just made it up because it sounds like a Bad Country thing, someone told you once that Cuba is a Bad Country, and you never bothered to learn about the place yourself.

        you are being criticized for using the word “dictatorship” in a liberal sense, a sense that doesnt respect material reality due to being idealist.

            well, every state is authoritarian. thats part of the self preservation of any governance, be it progressive or reactionary. if you wanna abolish states alltogether ask the anarchists, since i am an ml and think that authoritarian measures are good for the liberation of mankind.

                equal competition for the power

                Show me any state where there is an “equal competition for power” in any general sense. The Democrats and Republicans having similar degrees of power means nothing but a duopoly if they each exist above democracy as private entities (and they do) and there is no “equal” competition with more progressive groups.
