If the US intervened in Cuba you can be 100% sure descendants of Cubans who left after the revolution would be demanding they be given back plantation their lovely great grandma or grandpa owned

i'm 90% sure that's literally part of the Helms Burton act

Prohibits recognition of a Cuban government that has not provided compensation for U.S. certified claims against confiscated property, defined as non-residential property with an excess of $50,000 value in 1959.

It is part of the HelmsBurton act. Which also includes the right to sue anyone who does business with the confiscated property, even after it has been returned to their previous owners. This is Haiti levels of pillaging.

I always love the "well they can vote for local candidates but beyond that they have no real input on national governance or leadership" line that gets deployed to delegitimize communist electoral structures, because that's exactly the scenario myself and like 200 million Americans find themselves in lol

for like the fourth cycle in a row, both primaries were decided before my state even got a chance to cast their ballots, and in the general the most I can do is vote to inform the opinion of one of like 500 people who actually get to vote for president, but yeah I'm definitely feeling like I'm in a much more privileged position than something like the soviets lmfao

also all of my local candidates have limited political authority bc of unelected federal judicial appointees being the last say on the implementation of policy

results from the chilean presidential primaries coming in

the Boric surge appears.... possible 🤔

(there was a lot of hubbub about right-wing voters turning out en masse to vote for demsoc Boric to keep Jadue from being the nominee, but there's no reason to believe that'll be the case. by most accounts Boric did better in the debates so an upset isn't out of the question, but the results dropping in start at the Magallanes region in the far south, which Boric is expected to carry by a landslide. meanwhile the right-wing candidate might be Sichel instead of Lavín, in which case lmao)

e: the Boric surge appears... certain 😔 oh well
