I have to ask you,

How old are you? What is your occupation currently?

Campaigning is banned, which seems a bit silly.
It’s the way Washington wanted it.

Cubans can't campaign at municipal elections, because Washington wanted it?

How does that work?

Extreme version of any ideology kills people. Remember scientists were burned alive by European religious leaders?
Contemporary modern "communist" countries are no longer that extreme. Even North Korea is not.

I mean the founding fathers didn’t want there to be campaigns either because they thought it would lead to outside influence and lead the whole thing to a popularity contest.

Modern day America is proof of this.

In spite of the propaganda you hear from western media, the vast majority of people in North Korea live a decent life (by third world standards), even they face the most severe sanctions in the world.

There as a famine in the 1990s when the former USSR collapsed and their economic tie was broken, but not now.

Anyways Democracy in Cuba doesn’t revolve around the central government, but around economic institutions and local municipalities.

A communist warning against "propaganda". Hilarious.
