    I don't claim it was created by leftists. Leftists embrace the Cuban flag for the ideology of Castro, but despise the confederate flag because it represents their own failure. All while projecting their own evil upon the conservative rednecks, who embrace it as a sign of their southern heritage.

    The only true true difference between these flags, is who they offend.

    Can you show me a particular instance, of American leftists using the Cuban flag in support of Castro's, or even general socialist, ideology? I can't recall ever seeing such.

    I thought they all just wore Che shirts...

    I know nothing of the girl in the picture, has she said why she is wearing it?

    She didn't, but she is of Cuban heritage. Her father feed Cuba in 1968. If anyone is familiar with Florida Cubans, the odds of her supporting Cuban socialism, practically nil.

    What’s the diff between American socialism and Cuban socialism?

    If one is going to paint the chick as a socialist because she's wearing a Cuban flag, I think that we should probably answer the above question, and make the case that she is a socialist. Have you ever seen American leftists flying the Cuban flag supporting socialist ideology?

    Pretty much... but form experience, they really don't understand his ideology.
    Yeah, American socialists generally aren't nearly hardened enough to stomach where his ideology leads. He makes the most violent wing of antifa look cuddly.

    Fascinating dude, started out motivated by the suffering he encountered, ended up on the hard sociopathic end of thing.

    IMHO, the above post isn't wrong, but there is 1 distinct difference. The Confederate States of America were just that, part of this country until they decided to secede and they're part of it today. Cuba is not, and never has been part of this country unless I'm mistaken in my history.

    If Cuba is so great, and your heritage there is so important that you must fly it's flag in another country maybe go live there instead?

    Well said CountryBoy

    They're part of it today, because they were forced to be, and not everyone agrees about that. IMHO, there's and subsurface statement, "I wish we were still separate" when flying that flag. Maybe that's not the case, but still... a lot of people see it that way.

    As for a flag of Cuba, is that different from a flag of Sweden? I see a lot of posts on INGO about the evil socialism pervasive in Sweden.


    Or, is it, "This person is anti-2A, therefore let me find anything about her that I can attack."

    :dunno:

    Can we just give the libs California already? Offer free bus, plane, train tickets to get there but they have to stay if they choose to go. No more coming back to reality once you leave. Build a second wall around California but leave the southern border open. Let these idiots get what they want and let them see what's gonna happen. These so called tollerant and peace loving hippies will kill each other in the first 5 years. It will basicly turn into the murder and slum capital of the world. Oh happy days. Cut California out of the union and welcome in Puerto Rico as the new 50th state like they actually want. They are citizens anyways.
    I've said the same about another issue. Offer a chunk of land back in the motherland but if you go there no coming back. And those that stay cant ***** anymore or get anymore minority benefits period.
    If this country and the founding principles sucks so bad then ****ing leave because its not going to change to accommodate you or your views. Or at least it shouldn't. And for god's sake make English the official language like I've been saying for 15 or more damn years. If you cant speak it then no more coddling.
    Oh and everytime I see some baby crying over a damn Confederate flag it just makes me wanna go wave one in front of their section 8 apartment. It's part of American history. Its heritage. Get over it. I dont like your akuntakentay robes and goofy hats either but I dont say **** about it. Hell I dont like peoples gay kilts either for that matter. I hate people that dont assimilate into American life. Be a ****ing american or stop taking ****.
    If you wanna fly your damn Mexican or Cuban flags then fine, do so after I've wiped my ass with it because we ****ed both of those countries up already and we should have kept Cuba too.
    If you like those places so bad and wanna represent then go back and get the hell out of my country. These ****s talk **** about my country but yet they have their hands out and suck up all the benefits from people that actually deserve them and love this country and are here legally too.

    So frustrating when you don’t answer a simple question

    You haven't pointed to any question that has been asked. If you're speaking of what the difference between American and Cuban Socialism question, then I took that to be rhetorical, based on the fact of that's not a very clear question; in fact it's ridiculously vague, with half a million answers. I guess the simplest answer is, one is in America, and one is in Cuba. I've asked you a direct question (indicated by the "?") and you seem to have glossed over it. If some other question was asked of me directly, point it out.
