The streets are full of people who have had enough of the Communist regime.
Bernie Sanders is angry at the Trump administration's sanctions against Cuba for provoking this. Many Democrats are trying to make out the protests are about lack of Corona Virus vaccine...when the crowds are shouting for freedom and waving American flags.
Biden said nothing on the subject until a Cuban Republican shamed him into responding...
It appears that it is impossible for the Left to condemn Marxist, communist regimes. Why?

Arthur the miners champion loved it . Loved Castro too. He loved the way people there are at the mercy of the State,a was the case with east Germany and Honicker
Yup a socialist utopia for many on the left in this country.
Have a watch of this YouTube clip of a young Cuban bloke visiting the US for the first time. He gets quite emotional comparing what we take for granted compared to the desperate state of his own country.
"It appears that it is impossible for the Left to condemn Marxist, communist regimes. Why?" A bit bizarre because the USA version of the eft make the Tories look like Stalin.

The youth have absolutely no concept of socialism and communism.
If America was such a vile racist and oppressive nation... then why are people escaping communist countries and fleeing to America in their droves?
Last time I checked there wasn’t too much of a waiting list to get into North Korea and Venezuela. Strange that.

That is a myth repeated by Brits who understand very little of American politics.
Can you name me any policies of the Biden administration?

Nah. Stalin can not be compared with Tories or not even mentioned in the same sentence. A man who killed more than Hitler,mot of whom his own people.#
One who created the eastern bloc which was a template for the nanny state many Labour people admired.
There is no real left wing in the USA. Sanders is correct.Sanctions have caused rising prices and shortages, just like they do everywhere. That's their purpose.

"There is no real left wing in the USA."
Outstanding lying, fair play
Socialism has failed again, just like it always does. It failed years ago but once you let these people get hold of the tools of government they subvert the institutions and abolish all political opposition.
The Left is fundamentally tyrannical...soft lefties are the equivalent of moderate Muslims, they are the useful idiots that pave the way for tyranny. Be that a theocracy or Left wing totalitarianism.

I did live in New York and I studied politics within my Economics degree.
Can you name me any Biden admin policies?
Name me half a dozen of the most high profile policies and we will break down whether they are left-wing policies or not.

Strange how all the capitalist countries are much richer and their people have far better standards of living and far longer life expectancy than than neatly all socialists countries.

The Nordic model is built on a mixed-market capitalist economic system that features high degrees of private ownership, if anyone says that Scandinavia is a socialist region then they don’t understand what socialism is.
Quite simply.

The Scandinavian counties are very socialistic, they aren't marxist, but then the US has a market economy but also has socialist programmes.
Not a mention of the riots in S Africa , which isn't socialist

Stalin did not kill more than Hitler. not defending him as he was a tyrant, but without him we would be speaking Deutsch.
Wow. Read some History books.

Makes one won der if they were better off under Apartheid.
They are still being mown down but at least by police of their own colour.
Obviously, apartheid was evil.
Am interested in Contoversial Jack's answer as to what is the cause of the unrest and lawlessness in S. Africa though.
