"What the US blockade is killing is not only a failing state. It is six decades of a small island acting as if the freedom of others were its own business."
"When the lights went out in Cuba last month leaving in the dark 10 million people, American media coverage reflexively reached for its tired old frame: a failed communist state, a dying regime, an opportunity."
"This is the logic of the plantation and not incidentally, the logic of the rapist. Specifically and historically, this is the logic that the US has applied to Cuba for more than a century."
"The problem is not information. It is the logic of possession replacing the logic of solidarity."
The US blockade on Cuba has led to significant suffering, with American media framing the situation as a failed state. Recent oil deliveries from Russia highlight Cuba's ongoing energy crisis. The blockade is enforced by US military presence, while political figures like Donald Trump express intentions to control Cuba. This reflects a historical pattern of domination rather than solidarity. The analysis of the crisis is flawed, focusing on information rather than understanding the deeper implications of the blockade and its impact on Cuban autonomy.
