Camagüey, Cuba, Oct 5, 2021 / 16:19 pm Fr. Alberto Reyes Pías, a priest of the Archdiocese of Camagüey, addressed Monday those who have leftist political preferences, asking them to recognize the failure of the socialist model that was imposed on Cuba 62 years ago.
“I understand that you would have liked Cuba to be the model of a successful and functional socialism, but I would be lying if I told you that this is the case. I know it’s hard to see dreams being shattered, and I know how difficult it can be to overcome the stubborn desire to want what is not to be," Fr. Reyes wrote in an Oct. 4 Facebook post.
"The Cuban model has been a failure, and I humbly ask the Left to end up accepting that, because while you refuse to accept it and boast of continuing to say to a dead person: 'come on, you can do it,' my people suffer,” continued the priest.
Protests of the island’s communist government took place across Cuba July 11-12. Protesters cited concerns about inflation, shortages of food and medicine, and the Covid-19 pandemic. Some protesters were beaten, and thousands were arrested.
The island “has been for both the European and the Latin American Left, the dream and the ideal of what has never existed: a successful socialism, a happy and prosperous Marxist-Leninist country, where the people feel at ease and protected, where there are no injustices or miseries, where the poor feel supported and secure, proud of their leaders and confident in the happy and bright future of their children,” the priest said.
"That is what from a well worked out propaganda they asked you to see, and that is what you insist on seeing," he stressed.

Has socialism anywhere been successful?
The Left Destroyer of Worlds
Libtards would rather sink into oblivion like a 3rd world crap hole country 🤪
Sixty years after the American Revolution, using Adam Smith’s The Wealth Of Nations, the US was an up and coming economic world power!
Sixty two years after the Cuban Communist takeover of Cuba, using Marx’s economic theories, they still can’t make “La Rev-o-loo-cion” work!
It will do much better next time.
Sounds familiar.
AOC and The Burn are unavailable for comment?
Seems like a reasonable request. /s
A very small admission. One they won’t ever make.
A better admission would be that from time immemorial, nowhere on earth where its been tried, has socialism ever worked, it is a 100% failed system every time the elite intelligent smarty pants have tried it.
But everything is free!
