          Good luck. The USSR collapsed 30+ years ago and was in decline since 50+ years ago. The odds of that person having actually lived through anything other than shock therapy or revisionism are small.

                  What exactly do you expect us to do? Storm Cuba ourselves? The US government doesn’t have a habit of doing what I tell it to.

                    I don’t know, maybe organize protests, do awareness campaigns, get people to sign petitions, etc.

                    Hey, the Gulag and Goli Otok are gone, Guantanamo is still up and running. The ball is in your hands now, not ours 🤷.

                    Well, yours prison of doom still exists and all you do is shit about it. At least ours are gone, but yet we still hear about it non-stop… I mean, it’s gone, it’s history, get over it, yet it gets brought up over and over, and the one remaining and still working doesn’t get nearly as much attention as the Gulag.

              The US has a massive racialized prison industrial complex. 25% of the world’s prison population. It’s The New Jim Crow. And that’s all before Guantanamo.

              How many US citizens who simply orally disagreed with US policy are jailed in Guantanamo?

          I like Communism, but stalinist communism isn’t a utopia just because it’s communism

          I do wish people would respect the ideals of communism more however, it’s ridiculous to think that letting the people with all the money, land, and resources (i.e capital) should also have all the power

            If only there exist a country that could balance the incentives of capitalism and the socialist good of communism hmm.

      Or just a classic socialist democracy would do fine. Doesn’t even need to be dystopian just you know like what they have in Norway and shit.
