Summary

U.S. policies toward Latin America highlight the unfairness of economic exploitation and the suppression of alternative governance models. They emphasize the disparity between U.S. oligarchic control of natural resources and the potential for equitable distribution. Cuba and Venezuela are examples of the U.S. actively destabilizing nations that attempted to democratize resources, fearing Americans might decide that they are entitled to the wealth from our public land resources exploited by corporations.

Key Points:

• Cuba’s Perspective: Latin Americans view Cuba as a symbol of resistance against imperialism despite its economic struggles due to the U.S. embargo.

• Historical Exploitation: U.S. interventions in Latin America have repeatedly destabilized countries seeking land reform and resource democratization.

• Resource Control: In the U.S., natural resources on public and private lands disproportionately benefit corporations and wealthy individuals.

• Oligarchic Fear: U.S. elites suppress progressive ideas to prevent Americans from questioning the fairness of their economic system.

• A Vision of Fairness: Democratizing resources would eliminate the need for wealth redistribution by creating a baseline of equity for all citizens.

Progressive Reflection

There is an urgent need to challenge oligarchic systems that exploit resources and suppress democratic values. They use countries like Cuba, Venezuela, and other Latin American countries as tropes to instill fear in Americans. By embracing equitable resource distribution domestically and abroad, we can dismantle systemic inequalities and build a society rooted in fairness and collective prosperity.
