What a shame. How is Diaz-Canel favored over there? Well liked, or sort of unknown?
Easton Morgan
I think I found Trump's new target.
Hudson Lewis
Kind of an oddball, he's trusted by the conservatives but he's also seen as a modernist. Tbh I dont know much about his economic position. He was the vice president so I'm guessing Fidel and Raul must have trusted him.
Oliver Nguyen
Can someone who is better versed on Cuban politics give me more info on his economic positions.
Adrian Edwards
fingers crossed fellas
Adam Lee
Let's hope he doesn't betray the revolution like the Socialist states in the third world did
Ian Sullivan
Cuba has long been in decay in terms of policy friend, they went liberal in the 90's
Charles Bennett
I like seeing engineers in leadership positions in socialist countries. Makes me feel like my STEM education can accomplish good things. Marxism is a science.
Tyler Peterson
Well lets hope he can turn it back then. Cuba is pretty cool, the more I read about it.
Henry Williams
...
Wyatt Clark
Correct.
Austin Thompson
He looks dashing. No homo.
Noah Kelly
How do you explain this?
Fast-growing Cuban cooperative says government ordered it to close
reuters.com
Why did they close it? Is it because they would rather liberalize Cuba into a mix of neoclassical captalism and state capitalism like Russia and China did?
Evan Parker
Read the article carefully. Cooperatives are basically businesses and act outside the of the planned economy. They are not SoE. This step is rather illiberal, but of course we can't say if that's an indicator for theil future.
Samuel Phillips
Sounds like a scam.
Carter Baker
Yep.
Isaiah Parker
Not really, if you go to Cuba and check out the local businesses a large majority of these places don't have paperwork for anything, transactions are just made by a simple monetary exchange. For example, in the state run markets paying with a $50 CUC bill for your stuff forces the cashier to whip out a book, take down your ID (Passport in my case) and the serial number for the bill because that's the law. But where I go to actually exchange USD to CUC is actually a guy I know who owns a photography business in town and we exchange money at 98%, obviously off the record. Same goes for these mom and pop shops that have to deal with large bills.
And even if they followed the law all these records are printed on rinky dinky recycled paper. Most official documents are printed on thin matrix printer paper, and there's a hell of a lot of it too. I'm sure anyone that has at least an above water business there does so too, so an accounting business that helps manage that isn't really out of the question.
Nicholas Wood
He said that he wants to strenghten Democratic Socialism, the Party and the planned economy I would say he is a good Marxist-Leninist
Bentley Jenkins
Tbh should send a Cockshottian delegation. Cybersyn 2.0
Levi Lewis
I'm genuinely excited about this. Anyone who actually has some substantial knowledge on Cuban politics who can explain me what this will mean? If I'm not wrong Raul has been liberalizing the economy in the past few years? Is this guy likely to turn the tide?
Also hopefully the election of someone outside the Castro family will make "cuba is a hereditary monarchy" fags shut up
Pic unrelated
Jaxson Torres
Lets hope he is as mean to capitalism as he looks.
There was a guy who ran it before the castros did, wasn't there?
Connor Lewis
didn't even know that, I thought you meant Batista or some shit when I read your reply en.wikipedia.org
Jonathan Robinson
photo from wiki for the lazy
Nolan Price
holy fuck yes
Charles White
this but unironically. Apparently he is a technocrat type and an engineer? So i think he's really interested in advancing the tech of the country and shit.
Jacob Clark
FUCKING SPAM THE DUDE WITH COCKSHOTT BOOKS
Logan Powell
Holy fuck, let's do this comrades.
Imagine if he says in his next speech "I read this book by a gentleman called 'paul cockshott' which i liked a lot, gave it 5 stars on goodreads and I have decided to enforce a labor voucher system in Cuba as of today"
Eli Lee
CYBER
SOCIALISM
GANG GANG GANG GANG GANG GANG GANG GANG GANG GANG
Jeremiah Anderson
also, I vaguely remeber a cyber socialist (or somehing similar) thread from like a year ago where this guy was mentioned as a potential candidate for Cockshottian conversion therapy.
Kevin Martin
Where do I go to send him CS books?
Joshua Robinson
Probably havana. I doubt he has twitter.
Ethan Hall
he probably does have an e-mail adress though
Christopher Adams
So why the hell are fags telling us to unironically send him shit?
Fuck, stop giving me false hope, boys.
Wyatt Walker
You can just email the president of Cuba random shit?
Lucas Reed
A bunch of Zig Forumsack shilling Cockshott to the fucking president of Cuba, that would topple /a/ sending a letter to a mangaka to tell him"pls do not an hero we love u".
I hope no one will mention the board though.
Adrian Bennett
gay
Ian Price
So what are his stances as an ML? has he been vocal and been confirmed to be a non-revisionist?
Zachary Clark
Juan Allen
Kek. I'm not sure if this would restore my faith in humanity or destroy what's left of it.
Camden Howard
Wait seriously? Has leftypol been pushing for him to become president?
Bentley Torres
Brayden Wood
His push for gay rights in Cuba has a lot of potential to provide an alternative to pink capitalism for gay kids.
Jacob Walker
nvm I'm retarded
Jack Lopez
If leftypol was in charge of a country without BO it would either be the least murderous, most left-diverse commie government ever, or the biggest bloodbath the world has ever seen.
John Cruz
Bunch of basement dwelling leftists ruling a country with an iron fist
beautiful
Lincoln Miller
As long as BO and Aidan were immediately gulaged Zig Forums would engineer a veritable utopia, that is until any one of the factions would inevitably determine that a coup is necessary to save a revolution from their particular mortal sin against leftism and puts everyone else up against the wall, or is put down and the resulting paranoia leads to eventual purges and everyone else gets put up against the wall. Either way it would be a blast.
Cameron Young
Brayden Sanders
Does TANS have a spanish translation?
Isaiah Cruz
...
Carson Powell
Anti BO is pro revisionism
Brandon Campbell
Yep
Connor Sullivan
Gabriel Nguyen
fucking screencapped
Landon Jackson
not random shit, it'd probably go through a security officer or a secretary or something, but there must be a way to contact the guy
Justin Murphy
FUCK
I meant Democratic centralism
I just reread it now and it I realized my mistake sorry comrades
Isaac Lewis
Too late. >>>/gulag/
Colton Jenkins
found this btw, sounds good
Christopher Nguyen

Sebastian Jackson
Hesitantly optimistic
Christopher Nelson
I've heard that the Spanish version is pretty bad.
Andrew Watson
Asher Young
STOP CONVINCING ME HE'S COOL I CAN ONLY HANDLE SO MUCH
Juan Gonzalez
Does kim speak spanish or what? I've always wondered how international leaders communicate face to face (besides like european leaders who often speak many languages)
Grayson Martinez
...
Logan Miller
Kim speaks English and German. In his meeting with Xi there was a translator with him. The translators are usually trained to stay out of photos as much as possible, they are very nimble
Xavier Adams
that's his wife, user
Kevin Bailey
really? I never knew that
Leo Parker
He got his education in a swiss private school, they hardly taught him in korean.
Elijah Carter
fug
Nathaniel Gutierrez
He went to an international school in Switzerland. He'd have English classes there and former classmates have said that he picked up German as well.
Jaxson Thompson
here is he with XI aswell
Brody Cruz
he is*
Christopher Scott
ftfy
Caleb Green
Social science is still science. Don't be a STEMfag
Zachary Cruz
>Miguel Diaz-Canel is a regular anime shitposter tripfag on Zig Forums
Let's do it.
Logan Thompson
Yes, just like sociology, anthropology, and economics. All these are sciences, more specifically social sciences. You can even lump history and social studies in this category.
Justin Hernandez
Trips of truth, hopefully
Wyatt Rodriguez
Trips have spoken
Mason Carter
Council Communism > Planning > Cooperatives > Capitalism
Landon Taylor
My god, the next Cuban president better computerize the country if there to have any economic growth.
Robert Rivera
Just why, this sounds pretty anti-scoalist?
Logan Morris
Why should I care?
Luis Campbell
kim jong-un did something anti-socialist? Huh really makes you think
Hunter Robinson
...
Jayden Peterson
It is. Education, health care and industrialization are all bourgeois inventions, and should be abolished.
Gabriel Lewis
The DPRK actually sends a lot of promising students to school abroad, particularly to China and Russia, but also elsewhere. KJU got his degree at Kim Il Sung University.
Lincoln Murphy
Liberal moralism and literally another version of the "why do you use an iPhone" argument.
Jayden Cooper
Ebin
Nathaniel Perry
There is nothing wrong with trying to get the best education for someone possible if he's gonna have such a position. In capitalism, porky kids get the best education, that's just how it is, nothing can change that. Also, it was just a high school, it's not like Kim made a degree at the Mises Institute or something.
Angel Torres
Private school is anti-scoaist
I’d be worried about them developing revisionist or outright capitalist views.
Xavier Bailey
Apparently according to some gusanos I know and not, freedom of speech is limited in Cuba. Is this actually true or not? I did defend their literacy rates and shit, even though a lot of them tried to rebuff me as those statistics being "communist lies", but I hear even from anarchists that is actually the case.
Bentley Martin
why even argue with them then?
technically it doesn't really exist anywhere, say the wrong thing in any country and your ass will be buttfucked
a quick google search only showed up the usual suspects of FreedomHouse and other burger "non profits" talking about ebil cubans repressing free speech
Caleb Mitchell
And what is wrong with tha? if you're going to defent Tatcher or Shillchet, you should be executed.
James Davis
Tbh Cockshott probably has connections which could set up a meeting between cockshott's computer scientists and high ranking members of the cuban communist party.
If the DKP have connections to the WKP they probably also have connections to the cubans. We just need cockshott to talk to the DKP.
Brayden Adams
Surely libshits exaggerate the repression of free speech in evil gommunist countries, but it does seem unlikely the truth would be so far from all reports that there's really no more repression in Cuba than in the west. I have serious doubts that it's as easy in Cuba to get articles published which openly criticize the government as in Europe/ the US, or at least without getting in trouble. Still don't see them as a failure though but it's naive to assume they're perfectly democratical
Cameron Davis
That would be great, idk where to start though. Contacting Cockshott?
Sebastian Price
He's on discord and he has a personal email address. I'll try contacting him asap.
