Summary

Gaby Blanco from the Dissident Project was born and raised in Havana, Cuba. She joins me today to talk about the communist island American leftists love to defend— while living in the United States, of course. What’s it like to grow up with food rationing, no freedom to criticize the state, and with Cuba’s big business of medical slavery? Gaby separates truth from propaganda. I hope you enjoy it. And if you’re in Cuba, please let me know. Thanks to the Revolution Cubans in Miami can freely criticize the Cuban government without fear of imprisonment. Cuba would be better off had it not waited until 2021 to legalize private companies.
