In law school, we learn that context is important! OP said: “‘Communism can never work,’ says leader of country that routinely sabotages or outright overthrows communist governments.”
It’s not like Cuba was working great until February 2026.
- cherry_tree 8mo agoThe context being that you _knew_ the US is sabotaging Cuba right now, but still acted as if it was an outlandish assertion. It shows you are presenting arguments in bad faith.
- rayiner 8mo agoWhat’s bad faith is trying to wave away Cuba’s failure since 1959 by pointing at something Trump did last month.
- TimorousBestie 8mo agoIf that’s your real objection, you’re responding to the wrong commenter. What you’ve written is not a position they have advanced here.
- rayiner 8mo agoWhich poster are you talking about? The original post from which this stemmed, which I was responding to, was about whether communism ever worked. Insofar as Cuba is a poster child for communism not working, it’s not because of anything Trump did in 2026.
