There's this funny thing going on with right wingers who try to get into "trad" s*** but are put off by the fact that those "based ancestors" lived in a different time and don't share their brain bugs.

Like oh the based medieval patriarch didn't eat meat and go to the gym everyday. Gay s*** like "love" and "selflessness" is actually a big part of most religions. Jesus wasnt a phrenology enthusiast. If you watched those little girl animes back then they would've sent you to an asylum.

Its one of the reasons the cannot actually RETVRN to anything, the past can only be an aesthetic (just ask Hitler)

I’m pretty sure I’ve seen every documentary on North Korea. I still don’t really know what is going on there, what’s disinformation or real. Juche Socialism seems good to me, they have never invaded or attacked another country

"Across six days, the delegation visited trade unions, schools, a university and community organisations in Havana and Pinar del Rio.

From the first encounter to the last, it was clear that Cuba has taken deliberate steps to ensure that black and ethnic minority perspectives, and those of the Afro-Cuban community, are centrally referenced.

Cultural values, heritages and diversity are placed at the centre of the education experience for every Cuban.

We visited eight schools across Havana and Pinar del Rio, and were met by Cuban school leaders, teachers, and young students dressed immaculately in the white and red, or white and yellow school uniform worn by this age group throughout the country.

At the entrance of every education setting, on notice boards, displays and presentations, were colourful and creative historic accounts of Cuba.

We met government officials, teachers, head teachers, university lecturers and senior trade union officials who proudly identified as Afro-Cuban.

This was a complete reorientation of my expectations of the trip — seeing Afro Cuban knowledge, culture and representation celebrated and accepted within Cuban education as the norm.

The Cuban education system clearly promotes arts, music and dance at all levels and age groups, and we were repeatedly met by a choir demonstrating synchronised rhythms, harmonies and soul.

The artistry, sound and rhythm of Afro-Cuban art was a central theme to our travels, as a welcome, essential socio-cultural experience or as a parting gift, memorably by ballet, samba and chorister performance at the Music School in Pinar del Rio.

Whoever we met, cultural expression of art, spirituality, creativity and movement remained at the centre, acknowledged with pride as Afro-Cuban, but always Cuban.

This included the open duality of Cubans practicing Santeria, and worshipping Orisha, deities of the Yoruba (Nigerian) belief who are known and revered for specific characteristics.

It was hard for all delegates to comprehend the significance of the fact that we were in a nation where a quarter of the diverse population place, at their spiritual centre, African spiritual practices.

As a person of African descent, I believe the transatlantic slave trade is a common recent historical link that binds global communities together.

The legacy of enslavement in Cuba is often referenced in English and Welsh education spaces as a footnote to the history of the Cuban Revolution.

The work of the CDR was reminiscent of the black supplementary schools which was started in Britain in the mid-1960s, by African and African Caribbean communities.

My reasoning and connection with Jorge, a veteran of multiple community campaigns, offered further insight into how the Afro-Cuban experience is seen as not divisible from the Cuban experience.

The most powerful experiences of the delegation for me were when speaking with the Afro-Cuban communities in Pinar del Rio and Havana.

I was constantly offered and gladly reciprocated salutations of Rasta, with intergenerational members of the Afro-Cuban community offering love and respect for our blessed African heritage.

It was engaging in dialogue with “Eddie” that perhaps impacted most on my experiences in Cuba. Eddie shared honest youthful experiences where he and his friends shaved their dreadlocks off to avoid discrimination from employers and frequent challenges by police. He had two jobs, worked long hours and had little time to see his daughters.

We both acknowledged that there are unequal experiences in Cuba, with racism and discrimination a reality for the Afro-Cuban community, despite many legislative advances.

I asked Eddie about life as an Afro-Cuban. He told me clearly “life is hard here.” When I asked why, he answered simply: “El bloquero.”

For Eddie, the ongoing illegal United States commercial, economic and financial embargo against Cuba ensures that material, travel and exchange barriers are in place for every Cuban — without discrimination.

But despite the economic disadvantage faced through “El bloquero,” the true legacy of the revolution remains. Cuba is a nation that offers an educational experience which seeks to support every one of its communities"
