[a video about Cuba from the news collective Belly Of The Beast]
What will happen in Cuba if the blockade ends? Cuba Analysis Podcast asks this question in their interview with Pedro Jorge Velázquez, El Necio, one of Cuba’s most prominent independent journalists and social media influencers.
i hope it survives this current crisis; it’s the last socialist nation in the western hemisphere.
Me too! So much, me too. Theres been a few campaigns ive donated to, including healing to buy solar panels. Imagine a Cuba free from any outside leverage. She would be unstoppable
i would fear more for cuba in such a situation; venezuela shows what happens when the us empire’s soft powered leverage is useless and it would have gone further if the vice president of venezuela were as staunchly socialist as maduro and chavez are/were.
Thats true but is Cuba even susceptible to americas soft power as it stands now?
trade is the last soft power lever at their disposal like it was in venezuela.
Ah, thats what you meant. I gotcha.
