dank memes

Rules:

  1. All posts must be memes and follow a general meme setup.

  2. No unedited webcomics.

  3. Someone saying something funny or cringe on twitter/tumblr/reddit/etc. is not a meme. Post that stuff in /c/slop

  4. Va*sh posting is haram and will be removed.

  5. Follow the code of conduct.

  6. Tag OC at the end of your title and we'll probably pin it for a while if we see it.

  7. Recent reposts might be removed.

  8. Tagging OC with the hexbear watermark is praxis.

  9. No anti-natalism memes. See: Eco-fascism Primer

This isn't how it went down. Castro was open to working with the US and worked with Cuban liberal reformers initially, but he was pushed into the Soviet camp by US policy. Raul was a communist, but it's not really clear when Fidel was fully won over to communism. If the US had been more willing to work with him, he might never have taken a communist line.
