I'm speechless tbh. I don't know what I can say to someone who calls Cuba right wing. You are inventing your own language.
Read the current definition and dispute it then. They if I am not mistaken might have a new leader as of 2021, this would go a long way to prove they are not an authoritarian government.
the ideological commitment of the Cuban government is to achieve the equality of human beings, by abolishing capitalism and fighting bigotry. America, just across the water, has made it necessary for them to adopt a degree of authoritarianism to protect themselves. It is actually fucking absurd to call them right wing. Take care, I don't want to continue this.
No America comparison, do the work. I believe in you.
It's not a comparison, I am saying America is hostile to Cuba, and Cuba adopts authoritarian measures to counter American subversion. America has been trying to topple the Cuban government and starve the population for decades. You have reddit disease where you're really condescending despite not knowing anything.
Cool, now we have reddit in the mix. What would you say to the fact I have never once posted on reddit?
I am saying (and asking you to disprove) that any country that is authoritarian is by definition far right (as the left/right spectrum is defined by the use of authoritarian practices or lack there of).
