    No, not all claims on the internet are unverifiable, many come with irrefutable proof. Secondly, you’re giving me a source that is known to lie about socialist countries backing you up, that’s de-legitimizing you. In fact, we know that western media distorted the extent of the 2021 protests using manipulated images, and failing to cover (or doing so in limited amounts) that the pro-government protests were greater than the anti-government protests.

    Further, Cuba is a democratic country. It treats capitalists and slavers from the Batista era with authority, but is comprehensively democratic for the working class, which is why the people support the government and place the blame on the US Empire and its brutal embargo. All states are “authoritarian,” what matters is which class is being represented. In Cuba, it’s the working class.
