> 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.

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]
