And also posting the 2023 report from human rights watch. Sincerely bummed out, especially because the post was respectful and I am also a leftie.

Unfortunately since your post was removed we can't see what you actually wrote, and since you didn't post which instance the community is part of, we can't use that to give you more information.

Let me help.

It's a totalitarian dictatorship that sucks at running the country. There's very little food and decaying services blackouts and the like, political violence and prisoners. I know a lot of cubans (because those that can run away) and everybody hates him and the regime (at least those outside). I know the US block makes thing hard, but that is not the only responsable. I'm a leftist btw, so this is not an attempt to inflame. You can not justify such a dictatorship because the doctors are very good or some other superficial stuff.

Imo it's very level-headed comment.

Removed reason: Mccarthyist propaganda

Banned reason: Anticommunism

So they banned you from speaking to show you how fascist your ideas were. The irony.

[–] diegooooooo@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Dude read the post that I retrieved, how is it fascist to be against dictatorship. I dont like the US.

[–] timewarp@lemmy.world 9 points 2 days ago (1 children)

That's my point. They're acting like fascists while trying to claim you're the fascist.

Sorry English is not my native language and misunderstood.

Humm, I don't think this comment is that bad other than relying on the word of regfugees and just taking their word on the issue.

I can see how communists would classify it as propaganda.

One thing that sticks out to me is that the comment talks very matter of factly about that which it seems OP doesn't have experience with.

OP states "there's very little food and decaying services blackouts and the like, political violence and prisoners"

First of all OP, don't state this as fact unless you have proof.

Anyone can make a text post, unless you have proof you could write something like the following:

From what I have heard about Cuba, the situation is bad, I have heard about food scarcities, decaying services, blackouts and political violence, if this is true it is terrible.

It's in the news right now the blackouts and a while back happened the biggest protest since the revolution citing lack of food and medicines. A camera panning of people in the streets shows people with improvised belts since they lost much weight. It was not a peer reviewed paper but c'mon it seems acceptable.
