Anti-government protests broke out Sunday in Cuba demanding freedom and calling on the disbandment of the country’s communist dictatorship, all while some of the U.S.’ most outspoken, self-professed Democratic socialists appear to be in lockstep by not acknowledging the historic events unfolding on the island about 90 miles from Florida.
Fox News has emailed Reps. Ilhan Omar, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Rashida Tlaib and Sen. Bernie Sanders and has yet to receive a response from any of them. As of early Monday, none have even mentioned the protest on social media.
Thousands of Cubans marched on Havana’s Malecon promenade and elsewhere to protest food shortages, high prices and the coronavirus outbreak in one of the biggest anti-government demonstrations in the country ever.

Ive only heard from FLORIDA REPUBLICANS....
Why would they help counterrevolutionaries? Come on, man.
The original name of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union was the Social Democratic Labor Party of Russia. So-called democratic socialists are communists.
Dems are doing contortions to ignore this protest against communism/socialism either by ignoring it or by saying they were protesting Covid. My solution, send them Fauci.
Well smack my crying ass and start me over!
Fox News, you know all Democrats ARE Socialists, quit pretending ...
Look for the Biden Regime to send aid - to the Communists.
Cubans want an end to what Democrats want to do to us, of course they won’t comment.
May our Lord God and Savior Jesus Christ bless and save the Cuban people from their unelected communist regime!!!!
May our Lord God and Savior Jesus Christ bless and save the American people from our illegitimately elected communist regime!!!!
AMEN!!!!
“(I)t is very clear that in fundamental theory, socialism and democracy are almost, if not quite, one and the same. They both rest upon the absolute right of the community to determine its own destiny and that of its members. Men as communities are supreme over men as individuals.”Those who preach democracy the loudest have been socialists for a very long time, even going so far as to equate democracy with socialism (which means that democracy is collectivist and against individual rights, and even against liberty itself).
— Woodrow Wilson, “Socialism and Democracy”
“What will be the course of this revolution? Above all, it will establish a democratic constitution, and through this, the direct or indirect dominance of the proletariat.” […]
“Democracy would be wholly valueless to the proletariat if it were not immediately used as a means of putting through measures directed against private property and ensuring the livelihood of the proletariat.” […]
“In America, where a democratic constitution has already been established, the communists must make the common cause with the party which will turn this constitution against the bourgeoisie and use it in the interests of the proletariat—that is, with the agrarian National Reformers.” …

“Democratic socialism” — an oxymoron if ever there was one. Others:
Pro-life abortion.
Vegan hunting.
Green pollution.
Democrat bipartisanship.
Humane beheading.
Logical women.
Godly atheists.
Racism discussion.
Happy homosexual.
GOP conservatism.
The same pinkos who for years have said the Cuba, China, Vietnam, Venezuela, North Korea etc “aren’t real Communism”.
Yet there they were praising Mao, reading from his little red book, praising Ho Chi Min, praising Cavez, Castro, and Che...
Well why would they? That’s the type of regime they are literally wanting to implement here.
Saw at least one American flag being waved in the streets by marching protesters. Heard about Trump signs in the crowd but I haven’t seen those yet
If it didn’t happen on CNN it didn’t happen.
Leftists never speak ill of other leftists.
The phrase “democratic socialism” is not an oxymoron if everything the people quoted in post 10 is true, or if they made it true.
