“before I go on, I just want to be very clear that I love this podcast and will continue to listen and recommend. That said, in the latest episode, when the topic of Cuba comes up there a few facts that need to be checked. First of all Cuba is not a socialist country, it is a communist country. Its health care system is adequate, but its food rationing system is nothing to mirror. People are starving and will often sell their rations to survive. It’s also very important to draw a distinction between socialism and communism, as there are several key differences. Much of the continuing systemic racism in Cuba is tied to the fact that it Communist, and thus supports and expands preexisting systems of oppression. We see the same oppressive models in other communist countries like China, where minority communities such as Uyghers are thrown into concentration camps, stripped of their cultures, forced to assimilate. When we discuss these topics, the facts are important, lest anyone walk away with a romanticized and inaccurate impression of other systems.”

“I thought this was such an interesting and troubling story. We so often ignore the the impact of our choices. I thought the point on daily indulgence in the end was a brilliant point. Thanks for sharing!”

“Really enjoy hearing voices of activists and people within communities do good work. The fact is that food access, health, justice, distribution etc is so complex and pt of origin untangles some threads. Thx guys.”
