Marxists Stand Together: Official BLM Organization Issues Statement Supporting Cuba’s Communist Dictatorship
Is anyone really surprised?
As I’ve been writing about, we are seeing a rise of Marxism & Communism in Canada.

Yet, there are times when the agenda and the infiltration of Marxists into our society is brought right out in the open.
Communism Solved Racism in Cuba, 1619 Project Founder Claimed
Brave freedom fighters in Cuba have taken to the streets, demanding the end of the country’s communist dictatorship.

Could street protests finally topple Cuba’s communist regime?
After six decades of rule, the Cuban government is facing the inevitable generational shift for which it seems ill-prepared
Could the growing tide of street protests finally topple Cuba’s communist government? Cubans are certainly angry: Sunday marked the largest-ever demonstration against the island’s regime.

A Hard Week for the Hard Left As Cuba erupts, they’ve gotten awfully quiet.
It sure has been quiet the last few days among the “democratic socialist” crowd.
Bernie Sanders, who can’t shut up about much of anything most of the time, seems to have lost his tongue and his Twitter. Ditto for Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and her fellow commie-harpies in the Squad.
Why do you think that is?

Cuba protests: Internet sheds light on anger – until it goes dark
For several hours on Sunday, crowds of angry Cubans took to the streets to protest against the Communist government. They also took to social media, where they not only shared their discontent but tried to galvanise supporters.
The demonstrations, the biggest in decades, were a rare show of dissent in a country where unauthorised public gatherings are illegal.
There was no formal organiser of the rallies, and people found out about where they were happening on online networks. The live broadcast on Facebook of a gathering in San Antonio de los Baños, near the capital Havana, was seen as the starting point for protests that spread quickly across the island.
Until the internet was cut off.
FLASHBACK: Canadian politicians who have praised the Cuban communist regime
Thousands of Cubans filled the streets of Havana over the weekend in the largest anti-government protest on the communist island in decades.
Chanting “freedom” and “Diaz-Canel step down,” protesters voiced their disdain of the government in light of the worst economic crisis Cuba has faced since the fall of the Soviet Union.
The Cuban regime’s lacklustre handling of the pandemic has resulted in a shortage of basic goods and a curbing of civil liberties and freedoms.

Cuban Foreign Minister Bruno Rodriguez Parrilla has accused US-paid mercenaries of fomenting Sunday’s mass protests across several Cuban cities, and blasted Washington’s “hypocritical” reaction to the unrest, suggesting that if the Biden administration really wanted to “help” Cuba, it should lift its crushing sanctions.
“Yesterday’s events in Cuba were not a social uprising, but disorder, disturbances caused by a communicational operation that had been prepared for some time and to which millions of dollars had been committed,” Rodriguez said in a televised address.

Top far-left figures in American politics were silent on Sunday as Cubans took to the streets crying out for freedom from the nation’s communist dictatorship.
Videos circulated on social media of Cubans marching in the streets, protesting the impoverished conditions of the island and their lack of freedom under the far-left communist regime. They did so while chanting “Liberty” and “Freedom” and waving an American flag. The communist dictatorship later started cracking down on the protests, allegedly inflicting violence on the unarmed protesters and cutting off internet access.
