Pope Francis: A True Supporter in Castro-Communism.

The latest anti-Cuban developments in the Vatican should surprise no one. Throughout the years, Pope Francis has shown a troubling affinity for Marxist regimes and disregard for human rights violations.

t should have surprised no one when the Vatican’s political police removed a Cuban flag from a kneeling parishioner who was quietly praying for Cuba’s freedom during the October 24 Sunday Mass at St. Peter’s Square. The papacy under Cardinal Jorge Mario Bergoglio has witnessed a seismic shift in the Holy See’s relationship with pagan political religions such as socialism since 2013. Castro-Communism, however, appears to have a special place in the heart and soul of Pope Francis.

The first Jesuit bishop of Rome has taken up the common cause on a host of issues sustained by the ultra-left and globalist actors on the environment, immigration policy, free-market capitalism, Critical Theory premises (race, gender, feminist, post-colonial, etc.), COVID-19 policies, and communist and Islamic regimes around the world. Pope Francis has never been timid about expressing his views on temporal matters in the public domain. During his 2015 visit to communist Cuba, however, not a remark was expressed concerning the gravity of the crimes against humanity his Marxist-Leninist hosts have systematically committed.

Cuban Dissidents Prepare for Fresh Wave of Protests.

The Civic March for Change is a follow-up to the demonstrations that began back in July.

It was clear, judging from the heroism displayed by hundreds of thousands of Cubans that took to the streets on the 11^th of July in what has been referred to as the Cuban Uprising of 2021 (J11), that despite the expected savage crackdown levied upon the mostly young demonstrators by the sixty-two-year-old Castro regime, the popular demands for the cessation of communist rule in Cuba would not stop. Having over 5,000 Cubans immediately detained, as reported by 14YMedio, and in some cases extravagantly perverted prison sentences being handed down, such as the twenty-five-year jail term sought for Maikel Puig Bergolla, a husband and father of two minors who participated in the J11 peaceful protest in the city of Quivicán (Havana province), on fabricated charges of “disorderly conduct, contempt of court, instigation to commit a crime and attempted murder,” the planning of future protests on the Island has not been impeded.

Stories of How the Unprecedented Shortage of Workers is Affecting Businesses.

In addition to the hardships of government-mandated shutdowns, businesses now have to face a historic shortage of workers, which many blame on enhanced unemployment benefits and other ill-founded policies pushed by the Biden administration. Here are their stories.

What do a uniform supplier, a furniture store, and a restaurant have in common? All three are facing the consequences of a statist economic policy that is so disproportionately demand-slanted that it would make yesterday’s Keynesians faint. As a result of bad government-directed socioeconomic policies, Inflation, supply shortages, low levels of production, worker shortages, and a host of other maladies are plaguing the American free enterprise system and threatening to permanently shut down businesses.

Moises de Paz, founder and president of All Uniform Wear, one of Florida’s largest manufacturers of uniforms, is facing great difficulty meeting production requirements, given the lackluster interest of people to work. “We had to start emitting bonuses, on top of salaries, based on the increased itemized production of the textile machine operators”, told de Paz to El American. “Even with all the additional benefits and perks,” he adds, “getting workers motivated to work more to make up for the labor deficit is proving to be a difficult task.”

Castroism’s Recent Economic Rehashing.

Another venture into regime-directed economic reformulations that could potentially serve social domestication and political durability.

János Kornai, the Hungarian economist, was most correct when he declared in his classic The Socialist System: The Political Economy of Communism (1988) that “socialism is irreformable”. The former communist discovered early on that Marxian economic models breed what he coined a “shortage economy”. Vladimir Lenin’s New Economic Policy (1921) was one example of a desperate attempt to save socialism from collapse by tempering radical collectivization schemes with politically controlled flirtations with state capitalism. Castroism’s recent economic rehashing is another venture into regime-directed economic reformulations that could potentially serve social domestication and political durability.

Communist China has perfected this prototype. Vietnam followed suit. The “China Model” (a/k/a Socialism with Chinese Characteristics) and Vietnam’s “Đoi Moi” are both a sociopolitical configuration of a Marxist-Leninist state with a hybrid economic system consisting of a regime-driven model that utilizes modern concepts and practices of the market, the international division of labor, finance, and trade for the purposes of staying in power and promoting socialism. Key to sustaining the dictatorial hold requires the money (lots of it) to pay for the elaborate network of repressive state terrorism, and the ability to domesticate, both, internal society and the diaspora. This China and Vietnam have been able to comfortably achieve. Castro-Communism has been trying to accomplish the same thing for decades but has consistently failed.
