As someone who grew up in Cuba, I don’t need to read theory to understand what happens when Marxist ideas are taken to their full conclusion. I’ve seen firsthand how the individual is crushed under the weight of “the collective.” You’re right—it erases personal responsibility and turns people into obedient parts of a machine they didn’t choose to be in. The rhetoric always sounds noble: equality, justice, solidarity... but the reality is fear, scarcity, surveillance, and the silencing of dissent. Marxism doesn’t just misunderstand human nature—it actively tries to reengineer it. And the result is always the same: suffering.

Yes, the whole system is to engineer massive suffering into society for the benefit of the Party Leaders!! The Castros are wealthy beyond our wildest imaginations, aren’t they. It would also be interesting to see who else backed the Castro regime in Cuba and financed it to get it going, wouldn’t it? The one thing you always hear from the progressive/lefty/collectivist/Marxist/socialist/communist/murderers is that the communism/socialism was not applied hard or pure enough to reach the desired utopia conditions, so lets try harder next time. Are we the next time?

In reality, little is said about the fact that it was the United States and the CIA who financed Fidel, that the same former Cuban president before Batista gave him money and weapons in Mexico, and that as soon as the revolution triumphed, Fidel went to the USA first. These are very interesting things in history, and as Trotsky himself said, in order for communism to survive it must be exported to other states in order to be able to drink from them.
reply
Ah, yes! But, who in the CIA, MI6 and the other organizations are the ones doing the persuasive work to get the financing and backing. My suspicion is that it is the same people who backed the Bolsheviks (who were actually not the majority but a small minority, otherwise usually labeled Mensheviks, but history was rewritten) backed Castro. Their outer cover is CIA, MI6 and others but who are they really?
reply
History often hides the hands behind the hands. When we trace the origins of Bolshevism, the funding of Trotsky through New York banking channels, or even the safe passage of Lenin through Germany during WWI, we start to see that the story is more complicated than "revolution from below." It’s not unreasonable to ask: who benefits long-term from destabilizing sovereign nations and installing regimes that ultimately create chaos, dependency, and control?
The "cover" may be CIA, MI6, or even KGB, but behind them are networks of influence—ideological, financial, even spiritual. Some call it globalist elites, others call it technocratic social engineers. But the pattern remains: centralized power is consolidated under the pretense of liberation, and true freedom is the first casualty.
The fact that Marxist regimes always need external help to take root—and then to sustain themselves—tells us something important: it’s not a people’s movement. It’s a tool. Exported revolutions are not born out of mass awakening—they are imported infections. As you said: “Are we the next time?” I’d say we are always the target—unless we wake up to how these movements are used and who really pulls the strings.

What do you think of the current Color Revolution going on in this country? It is surely imported and paid for by someone outside, however, there are enough insiders that are wealthy progressive/lefty/collectivist/Marxist/socialist/communist/murderers in it for the spoils of conquering another country. I am also thinking that this is a counter-western civilization movement, rather than just ideological.
slaves. serfs or subjectscitizens into the plans of the state. We have seen how this works, haven’t we? We can also see how it is being actively applied in the UK, for example, can’t we. Poison is poison no matter how you disguise it or rename it.
