"Embarrassing: Cuba Cancels Communist May Day Parade Due to Gasoline Shortage".
Communists around the world typically mark May Day, or International Workers’ Day, on May 1, with parades, riots, and other acts of violence. Communism is a totalitarian ideology that has resulted in at least 110 million killings — not counting the 400 million victims of China’s “One-Child Policy” — in the last century. Communists have ruled Cuba since the 1959 coup by late dictator Fidel Castro and typically force the population to partake in May Day celebrations across the country every year.
The cancellation of the Havana May Day parade comes as an embarrassing blow to the communist regime, which had issued a call to arms to the general population as recently as this first day of April to participate in May Day activities. The Communist Party had also launched a campaign to attract “solidarity tourism” by international communists and boasted on Monday that 300 “comrades” had traveled to the country to observe May 1.
Whoa! Hope those "comrades" can get their money back.
"But that isn't reeeeeeal Communism! Reeeeaaaal Communism have never been tried!"
ReplyDeleteAll I gotta say is, if they murdered over 100 million implementing a botched version of it, how many will they kill when they get it perfected?

ReplyDeleteNow, that's a very interesting question. It really does make me wonder what their idea of "practice makes perfect" amounts to.
I have to agree that Marxist communism has never been tried.
ReplyDeleteMarx said it would be spontaneous and worldwide, so far it's always been a top down 'revolution' used to install new murderous dictators.
And, 'real communism' hasn't been tried by the right people!
ReplyDeleteWhich begs the question...why hasn't it been tried by the 'right people'? And why has it only ever been tried by murderous dictators?
Why would they ever drive in a May Day march? That's so bourgeois.
ReplyDeletePerhaps the gasoline shortage is just an excuse. True comrades would walk rather than cancel such a celebration. Is it possible that the luster of communism has diminished to this point.
