    “You say Cuba is a democracy, but it’s been rated 3/10 burgers by the Freedom Burger Institute (partially funded by the CIA, partially funded by the American Christofascist caucus), check out this Wikipedia page.”

      Socially progressive policies that the people voted on directly.

        Not just voted on, but helped directly write through their participation in the thousands of local meetings by which the family code was formed as a text. This is a kind of strong democratic participation that liberals seem literally incapable of imagining

      a country can be both an oppressive autocracy and have socially progressive policies

      “Please help, my country is oppressing me into treating inferior people as equals!”

      “You say Cuba is a democracy, but it’s been rated 3/10 burgers by the Freedom Burger Institute (partially funded by the CIA, partially funded by the American Christofascist caucus), check out this Wikipedia page.”

      We don’t even have to go there, just looking at the name, it seems to rank how “free” the market is, because that’s all that matters to them libs. Democracy is when invisible hands or something.

        Measuring how free the market is while imposing massive sanctions on the country very cool

      Honestly an autocracy with progressive values would probably do a better job of standing up to the heritage foundation at al. than whatever is going on here so that does sound like an improvement

          He described it as “a journal which speaks for British millionaires” (and wrote a pretty solid dunk on it in the same article)
