(lemmy.ml) submitted 1 year ago by GiorgioPerlasca@lemmy.ml to c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml 35 comments fedilink hide all child comments Mainstream news describe the economic situation is Cuba as extreme, see for example, this article by CNN: https://edition.cnn.com/2025/08/22/americas/cuba-crisis-energy-economy-intl-latam Is that true? How to get a realistic account of the current situation in Cuba? Is United States blockade getting worse? Edit. Added a mainstream source and re-stated my question in a more neutral tone.

The electoral system is called a liberal democracy. The country rallying cry is for "freedom"; liberty. US mass media simply started calling progressive liberalism "liberalism", conservative liberalism "conservativism", and classical liberalism "libertarianism".
