I'm pretty old. Some day soon I'm going to die. I look forward to it.
Our lives are governed by thieving, murderous, greedy people. And that came to me with real force as I followed the news from Cuba where there were demonstrations against the government. I noticed that none of the demonstrators were anywhere close to being old.
They protested that the government was communist. Well? So?
I'm not a communist. But if someone else wants to be one, it's as good as anything else on the shelf. The United States is capitalist. American capitalists have kicked American families out of their homes by the millions. It is starving them. Meanwhile, capitalist Americans plunder the world, pay no taxes, have the biggest incomes in history, - and do nothing to help the starving poor. The same is true of Canadian capitalists if on a smaller scale.
As for Cuba, us old folks remember it when it was ruled by the U.S. It was on TV regularly. The streets were controlled by murderous gangsters who killed citizens at random. Torture for no reason at all was constant.
To cap it all the U.S. was the real power in Cuba. It approved of the gangsters. The U.S. also imported American top rank gangsters to keep Cubans in line. In fact, American top ranked gangsters were the real and only government of Cuba. Mass murder and torture were the fun games of the day.
President Biden knows that. And those are the good ol' days he wants to bring back.
In their years of control, American governments made Cuba a living hell.
President Biden is a murderous liar. He knows all this. He also knows that when Cuba did get control of its country, the U.S. forbade any country from trading with it. The U.S., of course, also forbade any country from dealing with Cuba. The U.S. also stole Haiti's Guantanamo which, to this day, it has used for extended (and illegal) torture. Real sweethearts, those Americans.
And now, liar Biden has pretended he wants to help Cuba.
Is the Cuban government communist? I don't know. It probably has elements of communism. Is that bad? No. Any government has the right to be whatever it wants. Is communism evil? No. In fact, most Americans (and Canadians) have no idea what it is.
What we should realize is that capitalism is a stunningly brutish ism with a long history of mass murder.
But I noticed that the Cuban crowds on TV were not elderly. They don't know the past. And they don't know the future they are setting themselves up for.

Our world (unless we smarten up) is a model of what we have been doing for thousands of years. A small group of us became rulers - kings, empires....., . and they ruled, using the rest of us as tools for their greed. And the rest of us became poor, starving - and worse.
And we are still living in that. Rome had a population that lived in filth and hunger while a tiny minority live in unimaginable wealth. The British Empire was like that. Thus its mass murder to kill hundreds of millions of Chinese, of India, and others. And thus the American multi billionares who murder children and babies in their thousands all over the world.
Oh, thinks about all those dead and rudely buried indigenous children in Canada and the U.S.
And thus the Canadian legion that kills anybody it's told to kill. (wouldn't it be interesting to find out if Canadian veterans suffer suicide after a war as so many Americans do?)
