Badempanada’s video on the embargo
Tl;dw is that the embargo makes it so no company/ships trading with Cuba are allowed to trade with the US. And given the US’s control over the global financial systems and geographic proximity to Cuba, that essentially means almost any company sacrificing trade with the US to trade with Cuba would be committing financial suicide.
The US ruling class’s motives are that a thriving socialist country so close to the US might force them to make concessions to the working class (free healthcare, transport, etc.) to match Cuba, similar to what the Scandinavian countries had to do because of their proximity to the USSR.

If current open source licenses still have flaws like this, we’re gonna need new ones.

Just in time for the BRICS summit. Hopefully relations between the two can soften up soon.

Words are cool and all, but China hasn’t even done the bare minimum of sanctioning israel yet. Even turkey has stopped trade with it by now.
An actual socialist party. Very exciting.
Let’s hope they put protections in place as quick as possible, because if they’re genuinely planning to improve the working-class lives in Sri Lanka, there’s a US-backed coup incoming like they did to Chile when Allende was elected.
Not through liberal “democracies” no, where the entire point is to keep capitalists in power. Unionizing and organizing for a revolution has always been the only way.
