As authoritarian leftist regimes in Venezuela, Iran, and now Cuba face mounting economic collapse, crippling sanctions, and growing internal dissent, the streets of the island have erupted into chaos with protesters storming a local Communist Party headquarters in Morón and chanting Down with Communism, during violent nights fueled by endless blackouts and shortages.

Footage captures citizens rejecting the status quo, underscoring how even deeply embedded authoritarian communist systems are starting to fracture under relentless pressure.

The story is about a skynews.com au,and a NYP report

I'm surprised that the OP isn't having a hissy fit....people rioting, violently expressing their anger with the status quo, demanding change.......oh wait....these will be right wingers so it's okay.

The Iranian regime, leftist? 🤣🤣🤣

Cubans finally pushing back against decades of failed authoritarianism , Iranians get slaughtered(by the thousands) in the streets for protesting peacefully, Maduro resides in prison , the far leftist dream is crumbling before the worlds eyes, exposed as the brutal, unsustainable failure it's always been.

Iran's regime is still enforcing a near total internet blackout to hide civilian risks and conceal atrocities amid ongoing strikes and unrest , echoing the blackouts used to cover mass killings of thousands during the 2025 ,2026 protests. More proof the authoritarian model is fracturing.

Iran: Internet Shutdown Violates Rights, Escalates Risks to Civilians

As a open free market ,pro billionaire, pro capitalist retired truck driver / jeweler who admires entrepreneurs making a killin in Stocks, financial investments and other forms of legally getting ahead , one must admire the tenuous under class who have been persecuted through the communist /socialist/authoritarian regimes of the failing far left over the decades. Here's the similar class struggle from two years ago.

Victor davis Hanson paints a bleak picture of the past & present , he conveys that just as Iran's authoritarianism (allied with communist powers like Russia and China) was exposed as weak & fake by Trump's decisive actions,revealing its military weakness, elite hypocrisy, and self destructive hatred ,despite oil wealth and strategic advantages (the strait),the broader far left authoritarian model crumbles under real pressure, stripping away decades of appeasement fueled by death to America threat rhetoric and showing these systems as failures, that starve and slaughter their citizens while clinging to power through terror and proxy games.

Victor's expert take exposing the reality of these regimes for what they are,unsustainable tyrannies finally cracking open .

Trump challenged 50 years of Iran fears — and revealed the rotten, decaying truth

"Over decades, they killed and wounded thousands of Americans by bombing US embassies, barracks and bases in the Middle East — without directly confronting the American military".

So here we are in 2026, watching the systematic destruction of the entire five-decade façade of a supposedly invincible Iranian military, the elimination of its theocratic leaders, and the dismantling of the Iranian military and Revolutionary Guard terrorists".

Don't you know? Radical Islamists are somehow leftist, while Christian Nationalists who claim to love Jesus but hate Jesus' teachings and hate the 1st Amendment are somehow "true patriots".

His function is to provide comic relief. He has no clue what commie or Marxist means, but he assumes anyone who isn't a member of the fascist cult, and who doesn't get euphoric sniffing Trump's vapors, must be one of those.

He has absolutely no clue what actual American ideals are, such as freedom of speech, press, belief, assembly and the right to be free from unwarranted search and seizure.

Iran is a leftist regime? This labelliing is in keepting with the right wing penchant for calling anyone they disapprove of leftist or marxist or radical. I wouldn't be surprised if riclag soon accuses Iran of being antifa.

Cuban protesters ransack communist office amid deepening energy crisis, feud with US

A rare protest indeed . the anti capitalist ideology is being dissected by Cuban's who are disgusted & frustrated .It looks like the people don't want Communism.

As the far left authoritarian model crumbles from within, Iran's regime is doubling down on terror at home, broadcasting threats of arrests, death threats, and shoot to kill warnings against would be protesters in a desperate bid to quell an uprising, even as US and Israeli strikes weaken their enforcers like the slain Basij head, Gholamreza Soleimani.

WSJ sourced report in the NYP, the crackdown includes armed motorcycle patrols, mass detentions (at least 500 since the war began), internet blackouts, and killings of suspected monarchists, more proof that these brutal regimes are squeezing their own citizens while the squeeze tightens on their failed ideology.

This echos the last days of the Nazi regime with death threats,to quell dissention.

"Several people were detained for simply taking photos and videos of airstrikes in the region. Police have also killed at least 11 people after they were accused of being monarchists — or supporters of the exiled son of Iran’s last shah".
