Look at that stupid ass reply
"My bourgeois slave owner family were working class people, you're a fake communist for not defending them "
Yes let's go talk to 'Cubans' (are you really Cuban if you haven't lived there in 60 years?) in Florida, who have completely mythologized their actions and suffering at this point.
Also, dude literally has an American flag in the background of his picture, very not serious person
Gusanos, specially Cuban and South Vietnamese, are one of the most entitled people ever. Theres a book written by a lib, called "Cuban Privilege", that talks about how Cubans aren't considered immigrants but rather political refugees, as such they receive a bunch of free stuff from the Federal and State goverments. The author argues that the Cubans don't actually classify as political refugees per UN rules, and that meanwhile actual political refugees from Haiti, El Salvador and Guatemala, get treated like shit. And that this Privilege the Cubans have, could be used on actual refugees and Americans who need welfare. Guasanos got really mad about this, there used to be a blog with a really funny delusional review of this book.
Incredible dicovery, thanks for sharing!
not a good idea to spread, consider how a actully displaced person may feel.
Yeah your right, context matters. It's okay to shit on gusanos. I was a war refugee, and I can't stand westernized people from my country—they're a pain to be around.
oh im fully down with shiting on gusanos im married to the biggest gusano hater of them all, when we last had to go to maimi you could see the viseral disgust roiling off of him the whole time.
tbh the big man was probably a bit too kind to them... can't really fault him for having too much humanity though
omg I'm so jealous, tom is dreamy
lol no no mine is much cuter. edit ok i googled "tom morello young" and wow he did used to be cute.
Right?? He's got that dad bod now, but he's still a catch.
if he wasn't twice my age plus a decade id go for it yeah!
omg I'm so jealous, Zack is dreamy
FOr me its young Zach de la Rocha
You ain't working class if you own the ranch, your employees are.
The "employees" probably weren't even working class, they were something closer to serfs serving landlords. These were nearly all literal slave plantations just a few decades prior and the new sustem was tenant farmers handing over half of their crops to the landlord and usually selling the rest to the landlord.
Serfs and slaves are working class (as in, theyre doing the work in society), they're not proles though.
In Marxist terms, the working class and the proletariat are conflated. Marx sometimes called the working class "the wage-working class" and then, synonymously, "the working class". Tenant farmers are usually distinguished due to a different class interest, which is to say that their primary goal (historically, along with other kinds of peasant) has been to obtain the land they work on, which Marxists usually describe as a petty bourgeois ambition. This emerges due to their relation to production, where they experience essentially the full gamut of the production of crops through their labor, usually only being alienated by a lack of ownership of the land itself and maybe some of the equipment. The development of uniting these peasant interests of land reform with proletarian interests in the cities was one of the key factors in successful revolutions led by MLs. After the revolution, this then immediately led to a need to deal with the petty bourgeois interests of peasany landowners, usually by limiting the amount of farming land that anyone other than the state could own and sometimes needing to immediately fight a small war against peasants that revolted due to their interests clashing with those of the industrial workers and the program of the revolutionary party(ies).
Apologies if much of this is review, just adding context in the hope that it is explanatory of my meaning.
"go talk to cubans in florida"
gee, i wonder if they're biased in any sort of way.
I would suggest talking to Cubans in Cuba but I remembered American citizens can't do that
Biden actually authorized commercial flights to Cuba in 2022
Oh yeah, indigenous Cuban "Robbie Starbuck"
