Suddenly, my eyes have been opened.
I've come to realize, as Marxlenin suggests, that Cuba is the freest nation on Earth. And I was unaware. I didn't comprehend it. The media war had me deceived.
Perhaps, with my limited understanding, I had mistakenly believed that freedom meant having choices.
Choosing a president, a political party, deciding what to do, what to say, what to read, and what to eat.
What an error.
I've come to realize that in capitalism, people are enslaved by their choices. They have to think, compare options, make mistakes, and face the consequences. They are prisoners of their own decisions.
Too much responsibility.
In Cuba, however, everything is far simpler, more relaxed, easier... more liberated.
There’s no need to make choices because they’ve already been made for you.
The single party has been selected, the president chosen, the only newspaper... even the toilet paper.
The schedule for power outages, what you'll eat, or if you'll eat has already been decided.
Whether you'll study Russian or Chinese in school, what you can watch on TV, and the news that matters have all been chosen.
Everything is straightforward, without confusion, stress, or dilemmas... more liberated.
It doesn't matter if those making decisions are incompetent, selfish, or abusive. It doesn't matter if the country is sinking into poverty.
Because in the end, there’s always solace: it wasn’t your decision.
They choose for us, and we accept it. Those who decide are responsible for everything. They have us living in hunger, without electricity, without medicine, without hospitals, yet we allow them to keep deciding.
Because it's more convenient. Because it’s simpler.
Because, as Marxlenin would say, that is being more liberated.
Understanding Cuba's Unique Definition of Freedom
Why is Cuba considered the freest country according to Marxlenin?
According to Marxlenin, Cuba is the freest country because the government makes all the decisions for its citizens, eliminating the burden of choice and responsibility.
What are the drawbacks of having all decisions made by the government?
The drawbacks include a lack of personal freedom, inability to influence one's own life, and living under the consequences of potentially poor decisions made by the government.
