Hello everybody and welcome back to Rev Left Radio.

0:08.6

On today's episode, I have three editors from the Hood Communist blog on to talk about their

0:13.9

recent trip to Cuba, talk about Cuban politics, talk about, you know, their activity in Cuba,

0:20.7

their various organizations that they work with.

0:23.4

And as well, we get into a conversation about Haiti, the current situation in Haiti,

0:28.2

some summary details about Haitian history, what the Haitian masses actually want and are asking for,

0:34.7

pushing back against a lot of the lies that you hear from Western

And so I couldn't ask for better guests to do just that.

1:43.3
