One of the most maddening things about communists and socialists is their total lack of pragmatism.
Take Manolo De Los Santos, executive director of The People’s Forum, posting “Revolutionaries never surrender” alongside a photo of Raúl Castro embracing Miguel Díaz-Canel.
Just last week, Manolo effectively admitted that no amount of American aid would meaningfully solve Cuba’s crisis. His answer was mass protest in the United States to force the policy changes he believes would help the Cuban regime.
So on one hand, he knows ordinary Cubans are suffering. On the other, he celebrates the dictatorship’s refusal to surrender, reform, or loosen its grip.
That is the insanity of this worldview. The people can suffer, the economy can collapse, the country can rot, but the revolution must endure.
These people would burn Rome just to govern the ashes.
Always remember that.
