We’re told that Cuba is a dictatorship that doesn’t have democracy. To see for ourselves, BreakThrough News observed Municipal Assembly elections last month. BT’s Kei Pritsker spoke to voters to ask them what they think of democracy in Cuba versus in the U.S.

I have lived in Florida most of my life, so even as a young person I simply observed the massive Cuban migration to Florida after the Revolution. I have also lived many years in Latin America, so I naturally developed an open perspective, which was very different from the conventional and biased education I received as a political science and Latin American affairs major at the largest state university in Florida. It is pretty much impossible to understand the world or, specifically, Latin America in the US without a lot of extra work and desire to know it. Also, being bilingual is useful, even essential, and I had to become that, again not easy in the US culture where we expect others to speak English to us essentially monolingual people. This article, of course, is excellent.
