Recent reports and analyses have highlighted a growing crisis in Cuba, marked by widespread protests, economic instability, and a failing communist regime amidst blackouts and food shortages. Cuban citizens are increasingly expressing their discontent, with some areas experiencing electricity outages lasting up to 10 hours daily, particularly in the 'cradle' of the Revolution. The situation has been described as the result of 'late-stage dementia communism' leading to a 'brazen mafia state' that lacks concern for its people, with allegations of the regime siphoning foreign currency to safe havens overseas. Notably, the University of Pennsylvania's Associate Professor Amalia Dache has pointed out the regime's tactics of 'weaponising' food and electricity to suppress demands for human rights, while also warning that the regime is on the brink of collapse. This comes as a significant portion of the population, approximately 4%, has fled the country in the last two years, and digital dissidents like Yamil Cuellar openly criticize the regime's corruption.

"In an economic distortion possible only under late-stage dementia communism, it is likely that Cuba’s dearth of foreign currency is due to the mafia siphoning all dollars in the island, then smuggling them to safe havens overseas" https://t.co/wGZBfKMwNf

"People feel trapped and hopeless. The volcano is growling. Despite the words we use, national economies never actually implode—but the regimes that exploit and mismanage them often do." Cuba's gangster regime may be approaching its end. https://t.co/qd13cadr59

The communists can never be trusted, even when you have a contract with them. They have no honor and simply don’t care. The only thing that governs them is their political religion of bitterness, spite, and absolute control. https://t.co/MfYSP2h4iF

Cuba isn't what you think: the regime is a corrupt mafia; health/education are collapsing with the economy; 4% of the population have fled in the last 2 yrs; and the rest are venting mightily on the web. My latest... https://t.co/wGZBfKMwNf
