    The idea that the LBJ government was, in a certain way, the progressive one instead of JFK was also indicated in this SPGB article, used to debunk the propaganda that Kennedy was a liberal and that he supported the civil rights movement

    All those reforms were approved during the pos war boom and during the industrialization in several countries, and high taxation on the capitalist classes in some countries; most of those reforms have been eliminated, and austerity plans have been implemented.

    The idea that the LBJ government was more progressive than the illusory image created about JFK is also shown in the SPGB articles published on SOYMB

    The concept of Banana Republic emerged because one corporation used to control a large territory or a complete nation and established a mono crop, as was the case with Chiquita bananas, Puerto Rican Sugar Company, and Gulf and Western.

    The ex-president of a Latin American country said that the real president of the nation is seated at the US embassy, the elected president was only a decorative figure

    They had company towns, and the workers owed their whole salaries to the corporation’s grocery stores; they were working for free. Workers were not allowed to emigrate in great quantity, and many did not have a passport

    Those days are already gone, and the concept of Banana Republic is not applicable anymore, although lefwingers continue using it,

    States and nation-states became independent, a new ruling class came out, and sometimes entered into contradiction with their old colonial rulers, but foreign capital still prevails in the so called indepedent nations.

    Colombia, which was a strong ally of the US challenge their domination and became a partner of Russia and China, and are going to become member of BRICS, and is buying weapons from European nations

    Brazil has a large industrial production, they build their own atomic plants,( they have the technology to build their own atomic bombs ), they have their own satellites, and they produce airplanes and cars

    Several countries in Europe are abandoning the US and Joining china, Canada signed a new treaty with China, England signed a new treaty with Mercosur, and most of those countries are members of BRICS.

    Mexico is not eliminating its ties with China; on the contrary, they are building a train network to transport Chinese commodities from the Peruvian China megaport, which can lead to the elimination of the importance of the Panama Canal.

    In Argentina, Milei promised to cut ties with Communists, but he did not eliminate their treaties with China, and Chase and Citibank did not approve the monetary swap.

    The US treasury dept lent 20 billion from its own funds, and China is willing to provide financial support to the mini anarcho capitalist government of argentina and, taking over the place of the IMF

    The new government of Chile is not going to eliminate its business relationship with China, and probably Venezuela will not be able to do so either. China and the US are among the few countries that can process lithium, rare earth, and uranium, and China is buying its copper to produce warships, marine ships, and submarines

    China is buying more than 70% of the Chilean copper

    The type of petroleum extracted from Venezuela can only be processed by China and the US, as well as the processing of rare earth. China has a monopoly, too. The leftists talk about neo-colonialism, but they do not mention the capitalist expansion of China and Russia.

    The USA has encountered a new problem with the extraction of petroleum in Venezuela, because the equipment is outdated, and they do not have any parts,s and China is willing to fix the problem.

    The old wrong conceptions of Lenin on Imperialism highest state of capitalism, are gone; there is a new realignment of forces, different from the post-war.

    The world according to Donald Trump and its oligarchs is not coming back anymore; isolation and expansion do not work anymore either. This is a global economy. In Latin America, the old Monroe Doctrine is not applicable either

    I have mentioned the non-political stand of the Cuban government because those are the only arguments that they have; they would never mention anything when they were part of the imperialist soviets, and they were also the delivery boy of the soviet union in Latin America, which produced the deaths of thousandsd of peoplees, the creation of the death squad, Condor Operation, and the Colombian paramilitary, and military coup including the government of chile

    Barack Obama only implemented a more open policy because some members of the US oligarchy wanted to use the cheap labor forces of Cuba to produce high profits and bring new business, while the European capitalists were making profits from factories and tourism

    Colonialism has been replaced by capitalism, and capitalism produces more profits than the old classical colonial conception. Some colonial powers eliminated colonialism, and a new ruling class emerged in those countries, including Cuba, and now China is taking their places in Africa and Latin America

    Marco Rubio spent his whole life talking against the cuban goverment, Fidel Castro, and Che Guevara. But now he is in a worse political stance than the Cuban government.

    Granma, besides calling him Gusano, also called him a midget, holding the job of a giant, and they are correct, he is just Donald Trump’s delivery boy ( a peasant expression: Muchachito de mandao )

    He was a member of one of the most backward and reactionary political parties known as the Tea Party; the nazis party of Germany was liberal compared with the Tea Party. Eliminating petroleum and bank remittance to the island of Cuba would be like killing the whole population and spreading hunger, misery, diseases, unemployments

    He is not the new kid in the block.

    One after one of his bourgeois reforms is going to be blocked, and then the leftists are wondering why workers are electing right-wing populist candidates, and they always invent a conspiracy theory instead of blaming it on themselves.

    Brazil has the largest free transportation system. Bolsonaro was not able to eliminate the free transportation system.

    In 1968, subway fare was 0.20. Lyndon B Johnson ( who was a teacher ) implemented several reforms that turned public universities practically free, and instead of taking back loans, students used to receive funding from the states and the federal government. Instead of JFK, the “progressive” one was LBJ, and he also implemented Medicaid

    In some third-world countries, universities had free transportation, and they had their own buses, cheap meals, and cheap boarding houses supervised by the university

    Noam Chomsky was deeply involved with Epstein. Clay heroes

    The icon of the leftists has been exposed

    The anarchist who supported the governments of Cuba, Venezuela, Bolivia, and Nicaragua, and Hugo Chavez and Fidel Castro

    During the US election, he asked workers to vote for the democratic party, the lesser evil, and the libertarian party after he spent four years talking against US imperialism

    The Spanish tenor Placido Domingo. The beach used to be called La Minita, which provided free food for the whole town, free lobsters, turtles, coconuts, grapes, sugar cane, red snappers, crabs, and many more. The song was composed by the Cuban pianist and composer known as Ernesto Lecuona; people called him the Latin American Mozart. He took the customs of the workers and the peasants and transformed them into classical music; he never claimed copyright
