They weren't aware, that's correct. I cannot fucking stand the online reactionary stance on modern art I see from leftists; abstract expressionism was promoted by the west strictly because it was the opposite of the official Soviet line on art, which was socialist realism, not because of the ideological content of the art itself. It's beyond intellectually lazy to be opposed to abstract art because of that.

Standing in front of a Mark Rothko painting was almost a fucking spiritual experience for me, not because of the capitalist messages hidden inside but because of the depth of color and texture that fills the perception

The security line at DIA is always fucking unreal. It's the only airport I've been at that's ever consistently that bad and I can't figure out why

The secret to making things better in the world is that you can't rely on people making good choices, you have to remove the bad choices.

They do look goofy but starting to use one was literally life-changing; my sleep beforehand was so bad that my spouse, coworkers, and friends were all like "Damn, you okay?" all the time

It's as if you don't believe a cop could be a socialist revolutionary

It has a browser, so you can download files directly

Edit: It also has wifi and bluetooth so you can send files to it from a phone, for example

I have a Boox ereader and I cannot imagine going back to a kindle. It's basically an e-ink Android tablet centered around a really good reading app, so you can basically do whatever you want with it.

Did any capitalist countries at the same time have meaningfully better stances on LGBT rights?

If you read more of Che's letters, you'll see that that one is written in exactly the same style as the rest of his letters, both those intended for only one person and those he knew would be shared. I think you're overstating the nature of Fidel and Che's disagreement; there were some ideological disagreements but I don't think there's any evidence to suggest that Che leaving Cuba to foment revolution had anything to do with his relationship to Fidel
