I'm one of them, the Cuban dictatorship has gotten worse over years and more brutal, the cuban government is the enemy of its own people and asphyxiates any piece of freedom we have there. Is not the U.S or any other country but pure malice of the government that do not want to give up the power and sacrifices a whole country if necessary to remain there. The amount of ignorance (bought the dictatorship propaganda) and even malice of foreigners commenting about cuba here (because Cuba has been always the flag of the Left) is staggering.

And BTW is not the 10% only, is around the 20%, close to 2 million cuban's has left in this last 2 years. Everyone is escaping that sinking ship. The government is fully militarized and even complaining about your kid's food can land you in jail for 10 years.

Do you have any advice for those with resources and desire to help Cubans leave?

[anonfordays]

Sadly, there are some problems that desire and money cannot fix.

[SaintSeiya]

Thanks, we need all the world visibility and support we can get.

Given the low birth rate of cuba, it's going to create a havoc in the age pyramid. How can a country survive this kind of change?

The last dictator buisness model is always to demand exitfees from the hell on earth you unleashed.

[LoveMortuus]

It can't, the nation is nothing without its people.

You either use violence or you wait for them to collapse on their own.

As someone who thinks of himself as left and is aware of the left's fondness of cuba, could you give some examples?

(specifically, things that are the result of government policies, not the embargo)

- You can get 5 years in prison just for going to the street with a sign[1] - Cuba sends doctors to other countries, claiming to be a humanitarian nation. However, they violate the human rights of the doctors they send without any mercy [2]. Fun fact: I have a family member who worked as a Cuban doctor in Africa. Despite earning only $200 while the government kept the rest, this person decided not to return. As punishment for ending the exploitation, they were not allowed to visit their family for more than 10 years. On July 11, 2021, people took to the streets demanding change. The result? Brutal repression.[3]
