@FreeCuba01 And you accuse a freedom fighter of stealing and betrayal. The same man that fought for free housing, free health care, and free education. If that's your idea of a poor statesman, then you can go back to Batista.

Why do you feel there are no free elections in Cuba? because you can't vote for capitalist pigs who will rob your country? Only for people, not parties?

And how the hell does your grandpa and the Spanish civil war fit in?

[Virgjans12]

@FreeCuba01 The richest country in the world stealing recourses from a suppressed people (under Batista). That's robbery! All the profit went to the big U.S. companies, sucking Cuba dry. Only small paychecks were left behind in your country.

The worst thing is that these people freed themselves and were therefore economically blocked by that same country, degrading it to a third world country. And you support them? You must have no love for your country.

@Virgjans12 Rubbish. Confiscation of property without compensation is robbery period. There are no free elections in Cuba this is what they want you to believe. No one stole Cuba's resources. The only person who stole from Cuba was Castro. A traitor to the real Cuban Revolution. I am Cuban you are not. My grandfather fought in the War of Independence from Spain and gave all of his riches to the war and died in the war along with one of his sons. review: the realcuba.com

@FreeCuba01 Cuba didn't pay US bills as it had no reason to as it was blocked economically because it had a communist government. They then started trading with the Soviets and China. They confiscated American companies on Cuban land, which were stealing Cuba's recourses. These belong to the people of Cuba and is therefore justified.

So Cuba now has no money because of the US blockade and they still demand payment? They're broke because of the US.

And they already have free elections.

Castro since taking power in 1959 never paid any of its bills and therefore Cuba has 0 credit from financial institutions in addition to confiscating American and Cuban property. Cuba can trade with any other country in the world but has to pay upfront Cash for goods. No one trusts the irresponsible Castro govt. Once Cuba pays their debts or offers to pay it in an amortization plan + reinstates free elections to a govt without Castro US promises to assist Cuba. Well done!

[FreeCuba01]

wrong wrong!!! there is an embargo on Cuba because Castro confiscated 78 american companies; confiscated 100B of Cuban exiles properties; initially claimed to be a freedom fighter and then a marxist leninist when the revolution conception was to reinstate democratic elections therefore ridding the country of the dictator Batista and reinstating the 1940 Constitution where it clearly states that private property cannot be confiscated. Nukes came later adding to the list.

@TheCanadianLeninist o 1991. 71 Years VS 234 Years, who wins? We Do.

@TheCanadianLeninist What Imperialist Nation? The Most Recent Imperialist Empire was the U.S.S.R, if you are talking about the United States then you are soarly mistaken. But your Username implys you are a Communist, which i think is like hitting a brick wall with a plastic spork,it is always unsuccessful to break through a brick wall with a spork, just like every communist regime has fallen or is going to fall sooner or later. The U.S. has been going strong since 1776, the USSR went from 1920 t
