I love this so much on two fronts:

Finally, the country that was especially revered by Che Guevara has offered and delivered really meaningful material help. Especially that historically the aid from the Soviet Union came with the stipulation that Cuba couldn’t advocate or participate in global communist revolution. China was more amenable.

And secondly BRICS is shaping up to be the long overdue, great international rebuke to the great bully of imperialist America. They’re forming bigger and bigger trade partnerships and mutual aid that will soon enough usurp America’s dominant influence in the world.

It’s the End of the American Empire…and I feel fine.

But mostly right now I’m elated for the people of Cuba. Who have endured so much due to the strangling American sanctions. And through it all not only persevered but thrived in many ways.

Heartened by the immediate pushback to corporate media drivel like this by traditional left and alternative media.

This’ll be an important operation going forward: responding immediately to their pathetic, off key calumny.

Was just having this conversation last night with a friend as we were remarking to each other how mesmerizing dusk is with the summer fireflies.

When he said they didn’t exist out West where he grew up I was surprised.

Thought all along fireflies at dusk was one of the more enchanting parts of summer.

Would be the greatest, sweetest irony that a brain drain here could turn Cuba into the greatest socialist country in the world, a Mecca for folks tired of the capitalist soul-suck.

Will come to this everywhere.

Empire falling apart at home.
