Apr 14, 2022·1 replydeadaccit's the US actively preventing any country in the entire financial sphere from participating in any trade whatsoever with cuba
The US enforces its embargo extra territorially, meaning outside of its own territory much more than you might think. The US is the world’s financial center, and in order to safely trade with cuba, a company needs to have literally no assets whatsoever in the USA itself because otherwise they’ll be at risk of freezing or seizure for breaking the embargo now let’s say that you’re a big company and you’ve got to choose between access to the US or to cuba, would you choose the USA the world’s biggest economy and its financial hub or would you choose cuba, a tiny little island nation of 11 million people? obviously you’re gonna choose the USA. it’s crafted with that in mind, and that’s part of the embargo’s design.
the embargo also specifically targets subsidiaries too punishing their parent companies if they trade with cuba. And what about the US government claims about food and medical exemptions regarding the embargo? well in practice they barely even actually exist they’re intentionally designed to be as unclear as possible in order to create legal uncertainty and since businesses are naturally risk-averse most of them simply choose not to deal with cuba at all, rather than jumping through all of those legal hoops and trying to avoid all of those little caveats that the embargo has in it, those that still try anyway can still have their shipments vetoed for whatever reason the authorities decide so in practice shipping food or medicine from the US to cuba is so prohibitively difficult that most companies don’t even bother to try and that’s intended and it always has been the point of the supposed food and medical exemption, it is not legitimate humanitarian concern, but rather a way for the US government to claim that since these exemptions exist on paper, the sanctions aren’t harming the Cuban people, it is a smokescreen.
I'm confused on why communist Cuba would want to deal with for-profit corporations? So yall want big internet controlling the market down there? I'm confused man.. Just peeped they legalized private businesses cuz that communism s*** got them looking like the slums lol

Because opportunists in the USSR like Gorbachev and Yeltsin collaborated (and admitted to) with the CIA to dismantle the USSR so they could enjoy the spoils of the destroyed USSR
This dismantling went directly against the wishes of a 1991 referendum that aimed to see whether people did or didn’t want the USSR to continue. This was the culmination of 4-5 decades of liberalization by Khrushchev that allowed for opportunism to take the country over, and the USSR is still criticized for these actions to this very day

communism is when no internet
realistically every single country has to rely on global trade for specialized goods. the only country that is pretty much entirely self sufficient is north korea and that's entirely because of the United States genociding their people with horrific nazi researched biological weapons and then completely sanctioning them for 70 years.
and even then south koreans were actually fleeing to north korea until the 80s
