In law school, we learn that context is important! OP said: “‘Communism can never work,’ says leader of country that routinely sabotages or outright overthrows communist governments.”
It’s not like Cuba was working great until February 2026.

The context being that you _knew_ the US is sabotaging Cuba right now, but still acted as if it was an outlandish assertion. It shows you are presenting arguments in bad faith.
What’s bad faith is trying to wave away Cuba’s failure since 1959 by pointing at something Trump did last month.
If that’s your real objection, you’re responding to the wrong commenter. What you’ve written is not a position they have advanced here.
Which poster are you talking about? The original post from which this stemmed, which I was responding to, was about whether communism ever worked. Insofar as Cuba is a poster child for communism not working, it’s not because of anything Trump did in 2026.
