A Cuban student enrolled at Syracuse University said he was stunned by the way his fellow students perceived socialism.
Justo Antonia Triana studies Classical Civilization and Political Science and writes poetry, articles, and narratives in both Spanish and English. He also moved to America in 2019 after his father filed for a family reunification after leaving Cuba five years earlier.
In a column for The College Fix, Triana highlights the most startling thing he found in his new home: A sharp misconception about politics in Cuba.
"Many could only think of the palm trees on a beach, but the first impulse of others was to repeat the magic words with which the international left justifies the tyranny: ‘free healthcare, free education, American embargo,’" Triana wrote of what he called the "distorted idea" people had of life in Cuba.
Nobody knew about the constant mental siege in which Cubans survive: the strong political indoctrination and the forced cult of the personality of the leaders, the communist propaganda thrown at us by all the media, the absolute repression of individual thought, the impudence with which the government dictates and controls everything in our lives," he explained.
His interactions with fellow students and his teachers, and hearing what they thought of life in Cuba and the socialism the leadership enacted, drove Triana to share his life experiences – a privilege he noted would land him in jail in his homeland.

The most ardent anti-commies I know are from a couple of the old Soviet east block countries. You are not going to bs them about the “glories” of socialism.

Ever notice how no one ever says Hitler’s Nationalist Socialism was not real Nationalist Socialism? Once was enough for that abomination.
But Marxism? 100 years of failure, trying it over and over again! “We’ll do it right the next time!”
Exactly.
If anyone says they are socialist, I always ask, “National Socialist or International Socialist?”
People in Florida knew.
After that commie pig Castro took over we would see the bodies of the unlucky escapees wash up on our beaches. Castro ordered his thugs to shoot people trying to escape.
Another tip off that people in our country who support communism know better? It’s THAT NONE OF OUR HOME GROWN COMMIES MOVE TO COMMIE HELLHOLES “TO ENJOY THE FREE HEALTHCARE AND ‘EDUCATION’... They stay right here.
Why?
Because communism is paradise for the very few commie thugs who run things - it’s hell on earth for everyone else.
That’s a great video! Thanks for the link.
