How do you guys feel about the whole Cuba thing?

Yeah it's pretty bad they're Communists. We don't want to have dealings with those pinko scumbags - except for China! People are stupid.

Anyway your post is kind of...well I don't know where to begin with it. I'll start with saying the United States has already ensured they're a "super piece of shit country" long ago; it's not a something waiting to happen.

I never agreed with it, I just know that our older administrations didn't like communism (you know, the whole Cold War thing). I don't care about communism in the slightest.

Communism has only been used as an excuse to operate and act in a certain way, specifically towards country that the United States would benefit from marginalizing. "Communist countries" are as different from each other as any system of government; Leninism, Maoism, Stalinism, and all the variations of Marxism are not the same ideologies nor are they concrete. I mean come on if we were so anti-Communist we never would have started any sort of a relationship with China.

That's just hypocrisy, it happens all the time. I can't give you the answer to why we make friendly with China but were cutting off Cuba from ourselves, but I can take a swing and say we just want what China can give us as one of the largest countries in the world.

Wayfarer: You're forgetting the whole dictatorship things.
