That’s based. But didn’t Cuba basically rescind their Communist policies recently because of a lack of international support and the US sanctions having crippled the country
You should listen to this podcast episode which argues that Cuba did not, in fact, “rescind its communist policies”, and that Cuba has long been navigating the constraints of the blockade in various ways, for decades
Wow I just listened to a two hour podcast of three people doing ZERO mentions of how China and Russia are dropping the ball on international solidarity because apparently that doesn’t exist. Apparently the USSR disappeared and now Cuba just has nobody to count on well gee that sucks. Gotta implement capitalist policies now!
Am I glad I don’t listen to these Grahan Platner fans often. BadEmpanada doesn’t care about pissing off some of his audience. These guys are farming.
The word ultra is used to refer to idealist leftists who are divorced from the real world and can’t understand the concept of having to make compromises. It’s the people Lenin wrote this book for, specifically this chapter https://www.marxists.org/archive/lenin/works/1920/lwc/ch08.htm
The word “Ultra” is used these days by Hasan Piker stans who get extremely triggered when anyone points out AOC or Mamdani are endorsing another DNC establishment ghoul and entryism isn’t working for the 300th time.
It’s the equivalent ally calling someone a Tankie, but that doesn’t work anymore so now they moved on to “Ultra”.
and can’t understand the concept of having to make compromises.
Your angle of refutation is not that China and Cuba are “making compromises” but “this is good and based actually”.

Is this your only insult? Are you stupid? Do you think an iraqi Communist has any positive things to say about Graham fucking Platner?
Log off, lmao
They did no such thing.
They sure did. https://youtu.be/n7dvICgJYuI?t=4m17s
Bad Empanada is fucking embarrassing 💀

I can’t tell if this video itself or your uncritically posting it is the bigger “oof” moment.

Please stop spreading ultra nonsense
This reminded me of that cope article of when China passed the Gaza genocide approval resolution and whaddayaknow
https://socialistchina.org/2025/11/19/china-explains-its-abstention-in-un-gaza-vote/
Yet more examples of splitting. In the span of weeks, BE was promoted to golden god of truth & righteousness, and Cuba demoted to capitalist pigs.

Of course it’s adhominems. Are you going to keep defending the Serbs too? https://www.middleeasteye.net/news/israel-finds-new-breakaway-allies-bosnias-serbs
Next you’ll be telling me that China and Vietnam abandoned socialism because they use markets.
The Cuban social system is not being abandoned because they wanted to but because the US successfully imposed it on Cuba.
Cuban social system isn’t being abandoned period. Please stop spreading ultra nonsense on here.
What do you even think the word ultra means?
