The Real Cuba

The Real Cuba is a blog whose creator is unknown but claims to be an immigrant from Cuba. The blog reports of ’52 years of oppression. Titles of the tags are ‘US Fugitives in Cuba’, ‘Poverty in Cuba’, ‘Cuba by Satellite’ and ‘Murdered by Che’. 

Although events in Cuba are not unfolding rapidly enough for it to make American mainstream news (Somehow Kim Kardashian makes it on my news everyday!) Cuba is still working on overcoming events that transpired years ago. 

The trade embargo against Cuba has been going strong since February 1962.The Real Cuba reports that Cuba, with the embargo still in play, is attempting renovate and rejuvenate the economy. 

“Only that the reality of Cuba bears little resemblance to the plucky little island narrative. Cuba’s penury has nothing to do with the U.S. decision not to trade with the communist island, but with the fact that the island is communist in the first place. If communism produced misery in Europe and Asia (where one half of Germany and Korea stagnated under repression while the capitalist halves of those countries thrived in economic and political freedom) why would the result be different in the Caribbean?
Communism is a human tragedy, enslaving the soul while failing to produce enough goods for the people trudging under it. Communist countries are large prisons; the borders must be closed lest the people escape. And within that hell there are smaller circles where the repression is intensified. It’s the Gulag, the re-education camp or, in Cuba’s case today, public beatings by government mobs for who speak up their minds.”

The Real Cuba is an interesting blog for anti-Cuba information. It gives me a different outlook into the life of a Cuban trying to dispose of his/her hated homeland’s government.
