La Habana in 20 Minutes

[joshcryer]

9. That documentary is repulsive! Holy shit! $800k houses for sale!

Fucking bullshit! It's direct proof that the fucking "communist Cuba" is no more "communist" than the dirt on my feet (I just came in from outside there's a lot of dirt on my feet, forgot my shoes but had to get something from the car). How could anyone attain such a valuable home in a communist country? It's impossible! Fucking lies, fucking evil, fucking propaganda.

Then there's the part where the rich guy has a farm and hires black only workers. Yeah, blacks in Cuba don't get Miami exile money (this is established fact) so the Latino population can exploit them to fuck and back as wage slaves.

I am an unabashed socialist and I find this documentary to be very eye opening on Cuba.

The most fucked up part about it is that it shows that Cuba went from "communist" to capitalist so fucking quickly. It is utterly shameful.

Don't get me started on the woman who sold a $50k house and got a $300 pittance. She was so proud of that, too! How sad, how easily she got taken by those with the Miami exile money. (The minimum a real estate agent gets is 5% or in her case she should've got $2,500!) And let's not kid ourselves, there's no way an average Cuban accumulates $50,000 without black market money or money from exiles. No way.
