The Western Left has a difficult task in understanding the mechanisms of Capitalism as it extends into Imperialism clearly, because they are frequently the beneficiaries of Imperialism. For anyone sympathetic to Cuba that is also pro-NATO, I encourage you to look into Global North exploitation of the Global South, and how NATO solidifies this Imperialist relationship of hyper-extraction.
