"How the sudden availability of mobile internet in Cuba makes these protests absolutely unprecedented, and gives them a ghost of a chance of succeeding.

Also, a summary of the crazy way Cuban internet works."

Beware of CIA propaganda. AFAIK the main reason for the woeful network infrastructure in China is the US sanctions, which for decades prevented Cuba from connecting to the internet and limited their ability to import hardware.

What hardware? Like Huawei? 🤔

Sorry, but the stories about sanctions preventing Cuba from flourishing economically and socially are very much like Western left 80's fables about life in the country I was born in: the communist Poland. In short, they didn't know a shit but very much wanted the socialist dream to be true, no matter what cost.

@kravietz
I've met a bunch of people who've been to Cuba, so I'm not basing my assessment purely on talking points floating around the net. Cuba and Poland are very different cases. It seems to be you have a confirmation bias at work here, which is all the more reason for you to question anti-Cuba narratives. The sanctions and their negative effects on the Cuban population are a matter of historical record.
