Breitbart is not posting this article. They don't tell me anything,
so I haven't been given a reason, but in this case the reason is
pretty obvious: talking about Cuba and free markets is against
right-wing ideology.
The fact that Cuba has been moving from Socialism to free markets in
the last ten years is as plain as the nose on your face. Government
departments were privatized, the bloated government bureaucracy was
fired, citizens may now own private property and run private
businesses. I've written several articles on this subject over the
years, and Breitbart posted them all until this one.
As obvious as Cuba's transition to free markets is, incredibly it's
impossible for anyone to acknowledge it:
- Left-wingers can't acknowledge it, because they need a
"successful" Socialist country to point to, after the disaster in
Venezuela. To admit that Cuba is no longer Socialist is an attack on
the left-wing Socialist platform, as espounsed by nutcases like Bernie
Sanders and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.
- Right-wingers can't acknowledge it because many conservatives,
especially Cuban exiles in Florida, view Cuba as the devil incarnate.
In my view, the Republicans could score a lot of points by saying,
"See, even Cuba is becoming capitalist, so vote for us, not the
Socialists."
- Most incredibly, Cuba can't acknowledge it. Cuba's government
still insists it's a fully Socialist country, even though it isn't.
As I wrote in the article, I thought it was very funny that even
Xinhua was acknowledging the success of private markets in
Cuba.
This is the bizarre world that we live in, when even political
opponents of differing ideologies conspire with one another to promote
fake news, when what's really going on is totally obvious.
It reminds of the housing bubble. It was perfectly obvious that it
was going on, and I wrote about it many times in the mid 2000s decade.
But the "experts" didn't even acknowledge it until 2009, and then only
in retrospect "we had a housing bubble several years ago." Oh,
really?
Today the same issue is occurring with the stock market bubble.
By the way, Cuba was a free market country prior to 1960, and been
Socialist for only a few decades, so it's not surprising at all that
it's moving to free markets in a generational Unraveling era.
This Cuba issue shows very well how the world is so completely fucked
up today.
