    Raul Castro: After we took power in 1959, Fidel would often unwind by playing basketball with some friends and advisers. I think it was around that time that he began to use what would come to be called the Euro Step. It wasn’t universally accepted though. Che, in particular, had some major issues with it for reasons I still struggle to fully grasp.

    Journal Entry by Che Guevara, 12 December 1962
    “In his frequent basketball matches, Fidel has started using a new move he simply calls ‘The Step.’ It is undeniably effective, yet is its goodness equally undeniable? As revolutionaries we must not merely pay attention to ends, but to means. I worry that this flash and pomp is not befitting of the revolutionary leader. It serves to separate him too much from those caught in the chains of a maudlin life, marred by oppression and economic strife. Yes, it leads to a basket, but at what cost to the communal spirit?”

    For the past few months every night there has been a big black Fed looking Van driving around my house/street multiple times and doing so very f***ing loudly at first I thought it was a motor cycle.
    I could be on authorities radar due to arrests in the past on top of my communism etc

    Assuming it is feds what would they even be trying to do?
    Just make me paranoid until I am not a communist?

    I really am f***ing curios to what is going on even if you have a non communist/fed explanation

    I never post in this thread because everyone in here seems much smarter than me so it's a bit intimidating, but I do lurk from time to time.

    To add some context to this post, my girlfriend/bm is mixed with Chinese. Anyway, my mother called me in excitement earlier today because Shen Yun is going to be in Seattle soon and she wanted to take my girlfriend, our daughter, and I. I told her I'd talk to her about it when I came to pick up my daughter. So, I got there and had to sit down and explain what Falun Gong was to the best of my ability (once again, I'm not very smart and I have a hard time getting a solid grasp on a lot of topics). I told her to go if she really wants to see the performance, but I just wanted her to know who Falun Gong are and what they're about.

    I see those Shen Yun posters all over the place for a little bit every year. When I first saw them a few years back I was pretty curious, but them saying "China Before Communism" kind of gave me an idea of what type of time they're on. When I started youtubing and googling the name it made sense. Have any of you ever actually seen the show? Outside of the political/religious agenda and propaganda is the performance any good?

    I guess it is pretty dance wise, but reviews all say they go in on the propoganda from the start

    This is the correct answer, any responses refuting this are clueless and are not apart of any major kanye west forums. These people who run these Kanye West Forums, are heartless, soul-less left wing losers. They run them like Nazi boot camps to make up for the lack of power they have in the real world. They are simply dictatorships (justified depending on the amount of work required to run), that are only interesting in hearing their point of view shared and all other point of views ignored. So if you're someone that doesn't really have much of a life, doesn't have a family, don't make very much money, obsessed with data... you will fit right in into almost all trackers.

    Do Not Make the mistake of thinking anyone on these forums are your friends. The best, fastest, and easiest way to get banned? The forums. Keep a positive ratio and stay silent. You'll be in a kanye west forum forever. People will often help you maintain your quote and liking ratio. Do you have a question? Ask it, Never argue with anyone, if you get the answer you need? Great. If not, message staff with the shortest possible direct question you can think of and hope they don't ban you because they haven't gotten laid in 16 years. :D

    I know what I'm saying seems dramatic, but it's not. I've been doing this for well over a decade, I know exactly how these places work and the kind of people that run them. Most of them take a lot of medication.

    Is Fidel the most unimpeachably great leader of the 20th century?

    I know you like the Blowback podcast a lot and I listened to their Cuba series and liked it a lot as well but do you have any reading you'd recommend on Castro?

    @americana @spongebob

    I don’t really, his speech at his trial for bombing the Moncada barracks is important though

    But also just the massive amounts of aid and humanitarian efforts Cuba has done at home and abroad
