But it’s being weaponised by the United States and they’re funding protests in Cuba so they can point and say “look, people don’t want the communist party in charge! They’re protesting for more freedoms!”. That’s a legitimate grief that has led to some unrest sometimes – even if the embargo is not Cuba’s fault and is literally only supported by the USA and Israel. The embargo is hitting Cuba really bad (cost 60 billion dollars since 1960) and this prevents them from having much-needed medical supplies (especially against covid), cheaper internet access or just more consumer goods.
A colour revolution uses legitimate griefs people have with their government to co-opt the movement and promote regime change instead for foreign interests that fund the revolution.įor example a colour revolution is currently attempted in Cuba by mobilising the diaspora who, in turn, mobilises the Cuban population.
