We have "right" in #EU being against war and against defense expenditure increase, and center/left being against peace and removing funds from social/labor programs to spend on defense
We have "right" in the US and EU being against free-trade and center-left for free trade
Both are denying the governments in US and EU are bankrupt, and what they are most afraid is their own people
Can we conclude much of this pro-capitalist paranoia media is serving?

#Cuba est aujourd’hui plongée dans l’emprise d’un blocus sévère imposé par les États-Unis depuis plus de 60 ans. Et aujourd’hui, le 17 mai, qui marque la Journée de la paysannerie cubaine ainsi que l’anniversaire de la Première Réforme agraire à Cuba, nous lançons la campagne mondiale : « Contre le blocus ! Solidarité paysanne, agroécologie et souveraineté alimentaire ! »
Cuba se encuentra sometida a un severo bloqueo impuesto por Estados Unidos desde hace más de 60 años. Y hoy, 17 de mayo, el Día del Campesino Cubano y el aniversario de la primera Reforma Agraria en #Cuba, lanzamos la campaña global: «¡Contra el bloqueo! ¡Solidaridad Campesina, Agroecología y Soberanía Alimentaria!»
#Cuba has given the world doctors, vaccines, literacy, and solidarity. Now it's our turn. La Via Campesina has launched a global fundraiser to get essential aid to Cuban peasants and rural workers. Stand with Cuba. Donate now. #SolidarityWithCuba
El portavoz presidencial de #Rusia, Dmitri Peskov, confirmó hoy que su país analiza posibles acciones para apoyar a #Cuba frente a las medidas de asfixias impuestas por los #EstadosUnidos.
«Estamos en contacto con nuestros amigos cubanos. Cuba está lejos por desgracia de nosotros, no es fácil llegar hasta allí, pero, aun así, discutiremos con los cubanos posibles vías para prestar ayuda», destacó el vocero del Kremlin a la prensa.
What Is the US Really Seeking in Cuba? Analyst José Ramón Cabañas Responds (Interview) – Orinoco Tribune
https://orinocotribune.com/what-is-the-us-really-seeking-in-cuba-analyst-jose-ramon-cabanas-responds-interview/
Highly recommended read. Great analysis of Cuba and the US, I think.
'That country that wants to give Cuba lessons in democracy has never voted for a Constitution. In the US, the constitutional text that begins by saying “We the People” was negotiated by 57 individuals and signed by 39.'
Powerful Nelson Mandela Interview at Town Hall, USA that amazed the whole world (June 21st 1990) - YouTube

Recommended. Take the time to listen to what he has to say. Note that this interview happened the same year that Mandela was released from prison, and therefore before the end of apartheid.
