Love the podcast, just one important point
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.

Take a journey down the path to learn about what you are eating for dinner. Not only is this an informative podcast, it is important. The host, Stephen, is also really knowledgeable and easy to listen to.
