Ep. 20 Solidarity with Cuba: #SOSCuba, US intervention, and the importance of the Socialist Revolution‪.‬ Weeks When Podcasts Happen

Happy July 26th! Greg and Ian are joined by a new guest Carlos to discuss the dynamics and context of the #SOSCuba movement. We discuss the historical context of US intervention, terrorism, and strangulation of the revolution, and what the Cuban revolution has meant for the Island and the world. We also come up with our new favorite analogy: Detroit is the Cuba of the midwest- targeted for destruction for daring to stand up to the US and the Rich.
It's a complex subject but remember, if you find yourself on the same side as the CIA, you might be doing it wrong.
