""Socialism with a human face — the Prague Spring slogan — appears in Haz's discourse as the name for the Gorbachev disease: socialism rebranded for Western liberal approval, which he traces into Cuba.
From the streams
- On Cuba's drift (DEBATE: American Schools Going INSANE? stream): "Around Gorbachev's reforms in the Soviet Union, Gorbachev's socialism with a human face also came to affect Cuba. Everyone thinks Castro's super based, but Castro became another Gorbachev around that time — Cuba wanted a good PR image with the democratic liberal globalist West, so it started to adopt environmentalism and LGBT stuff slowly... but the Cuban people were so conservative and steadfast in opposing it they were never able to [complete it]."
The analysis: Mariela Castro's campaign as the Cuban instance of the general pattern — PR-oriented reformism as the vector of liberal capture — resisted, per Haz, by the Cuban people's own conservatism.
The Prague Spring itself
Haz's on-stream verdict is deliberately scandalous: after Czechia's post-1991 alignment ("Czechoslovakia was your only chance at Sapiens — you fucked it up"), he trolled: "The Czech Republic should be a vassal state of Russia. And they do a Prague Spring every year just to remind them to know their place... Russian tanks should roll on the streets of Prague every year to remind them of how disgusting they've been since 1991" (GREENLAND | COOKING GROYPERS stream) — 1968 inverted: the tanks were right, what came after (Havel, NATO) was the betrayal.
