The writer must be a Trotskyist because the failure of Cuba is not the failure of Stalinism, it is the failure of capitalism, the same one that existed in the Soviet Union since 1917 presided by Lenin and Trotsky. Joseph Stalin was a Bolshevik like any other bolshevik leader and he followed the same path established by all of them. Stalinism is not an economic system

The Anarchists in Cuba had more influence in the ranks of the working class than the Communist Party. The grandson of Ernesto Guevara was an anarchist, and he said that his grandfather left Cuba because he had personal contradiction with the leaders of the Cuban government
The Cuban government requests aid from other countries as well as from the Catholic charity Caritas International.
Kilian Linder, Caritas project officer in Cuba explained, “There are more doctors per inhabitant than in Germany and Cuba has often provided medical care in emergency situations.” For the government to eat humble pie and ask for help, he said, showed how drastic it thought the situation was.
Caritas flew in personal protective equipment (PPE), face masks, ventilators, testing kits and medicine to Cuba as fast as possible. Russia has also sent 88 tons of humanitarian aid, including food, and China has provided 30 ventilators and plans to send more equipment. Venezuela sent food by ship. Mexico also sent a ship with food and oxygen with two more expected to follow.
Meanwhile, Biden continues the sanctions

Cuba continues its free-market reforms
It has legalised small and medium-sized private businesses in the wake of protests last month. Under the new rules, enterprises with up to 100 employees will be allowed.
“Cuba continues its free-market reforms”
————————————-
That is what the left in Latin America call socialism, but it contradicts the socialist principles of the common possession of the means of production, free access society and the elimination of the market system. Anybody who knows certain Marxist principles will understand that it is just another capitalist societyhttps://en.internationalism.org/content/17053/neither-fatherland-or-death-nor-fatherland-and-life-proletarians-have-no-fatherland
Neither fatherland nor death, nor fatherland and life. Proletarians have no fatherlandCuba accuses the USA of inciting subversion
The Cuban government on rejected a request by opposition groups to hold a protest on November 15. Officials accused organizers of being backed by the US and of seeking to overthrow the regime.
“The reasons given to protest are not considered legitimate,” the government said in its statement, adding that the new constitution adopted in 2019 states that the socialist system is “irrevocable.”

Th Archipiélago Group has said that the want to make a peaceful demonstration and they have peoples to wear white cloth on the date of the demonstration.
If the socialist system is irrevocable, where is the so called counter revolution ?
When it suits them Human Rights Watch is seen as a reliable source such as in the case of Israeli persecution of Palestinians but when it comes to criticisms of left-wing nations, it becomes a HRW becomes a CIA front and no doubt leftists will accuse it of being one with this criticism of Cuba.

In September 2021, the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) gave $6,669,000 in grants for projects aimed at “regime change” in Cuba
At least 54 organizations have benefited from the State Department, the National Endowment for Democracy (NED) and USAID programs for Cuba.
In the last 20 years, this agency has given Creative Associates International, a CIA front, more than $1.8 billion for espionage, propaganda and the recruitment of agents of “change”
Cuba is also a good tool for election and re-election at the State of Florida, and all the politicians, senators, and governors also have and have had an unhealthy obsession with Cuba for a period of 50 years.
The USA government did not have that obsession with Vietnam, and China and they established commercial and diplomatic relationship without any opposition.
Supporting or no supporting Cuba has always been a key factor for winning or losing Florida election by Democratic or Republicans, but the situation is changing, the sons, daughters and grandson of the Cubans emigrants are not longer following the political obsessions of their ancestors.
There are also castroists who have emigrated to Florida and they support the so called Cuban revolutions
It is an article on how Cuba is promoting anti-racism but it does not acknowledge its own racial problems.
