In case you've never heard of it Sean, during the Cuban crisis in 1962 Fidel called on Khrustchev to nuke the US. Imagine if they did so. Now Fidel would be living in the world without the US.

It's like someone wants to kill you, and you not only don't press charges, but buy a couple of Cuban cigars from him because they've confiscated his gun and he needs another one.

And Varadero is hardly the image Cuba gives of itself in European tour agencies, and is almost the furthest away from the general situation of the country.

The Bay of Pigs was a reaction to Fidel’s export of communism. The US considers Latin America too close to home.

But you're still defending him. >> Not defending him, finding him attenuating circumstances maybe (just to resist this implacable US machine for 50 years is an incredible achievement, Achievement?

You forgot to include his abuse of power. He could have been an idealist in the beginning (from what I’ve read about him) but power corrupts.

The humanitarian distress situation would suddendly be gone, and the regime might just disappear on its own for lack of "raison d'être". Regimes like Castro’s don’t just disappear. I am generally in agreement with you on the embargo (surprised?) it’s meaningless at least since the late 80’s. It’s more of a nuisance for us. I tghink it’s still in effect due to the Cuban lobby in the US, they want no less than returning home and getting all their property back.

Chus, how are things? |
Today we got to march to the congress to make a claim; and the pro-Chavez students (which are not really that many) wanted to set a debate; we don't want a debate because we can't debate civil and fundamental human rights. They kept allegating that freedom of speech still exists (of course still exists as long as we still have few of the medias covering us, one television and some written press -which are also under "investigation") and hence our accusations are false (our freedom is limiting itself slowly, of course they like to see it another way in their narrow minds). Globovision hasn't closed yet, but apparently soon, as well as the written press which is the next objective

it has been denounced somewhat, as well some functionaries happen to live in quite fancy mansions and driving quite voluptuous vehicles; but the news didn't go international of course. And some of it are still rumours

Probably uis a marketing strategy, the two times I went to Varadero (1999 amnd 2003) it was full of Latin Americans and Canadians, they prepared this resorts for people who want to stay away from reality for a week or two (All included so you don't have to go outside the hotel) and far from La Habana (I had to rent a motorcycle to take the money to this nice lady her daughter had given me in Lima).
They also probably discovered Europe people use family packages, so they prepare a different set of entertaintment for all the family that includes tourism, a place to leave the kids alone and more calmed (Probably more expensive).
That's called marketing.

Yes, as there are many pro-Chavez people protesting, this is not a political protest; the government, however, wants people to think so. That's why they did yesterday's debate charade, in a congress of just one political colour (red), and the defenders of Chavez's decision feeling like home talking about everything but what we are reclaiming, which is to be respected and treated as equal. We (the students in general) didn't want to debate in a one-colour assembly but in students' assemblies

Much of the Communists regime in Latin America were reaction to US exploitation. You look at it from the morality side. I just state the facts and leave the morality alone. The Big money is immoral but it moves the world. It interferes in Latin America as much as it does in Europe and elsewhere. Fighting it is like trying to stop a huge millstone - it wioll crush you. I can't stand human misery but all i can do is just close my eyes not to see it and try to stay out of that misery. Because I know there will always be poor and exploited people. And I know first hand how bad and humiliating poverty is.

And Cuba's worst fears also: the returning of the mafia that set the brothels, and casinos. I fear it for them as well. Those Cubans in Miami are anything but nice. Your judgement is too harsh. Lots of decent people left Cuba, middle class and poor ones. I don't think their claims to their property are illegitimate. Whatever they had, a country house or a cigar factory. Would you consider confiscating you 9-year old car a fair act? (unless your sick of the gasoline prices and want to get rid of it anyway)
The seeds of today’s trouble were sown by Clinton. He was a disastrous president. >> strangely the world does not see him as disastrous. Personally he's the best I can remember ahead of Carter. Dont' start please. He was clever enough to disguise it as a great achievement. He created the economic bubble we're still in for the only purpose to be re-elected. His policies led us to the Iraq war.

Were I Venezuelan, and supporting Chavez, I'd probably protest the closures as well. Again, I meant it differently. The rules are - don't interrupt the oil supplies. Then nobody will touch him.
If you don't look at things from the economy perspective, you will continue to confuse the primary and the secondary.

Chus, debating is good. It develops logical thinking, rhetorical skills and speech in general. It will lead you nowhere politically but at least there will be no broken bones or smashed faces. And don’t neglect your studies. Later in life it will prove to be more important than debating. Stay safe man.

Of course, we like to debate but the point is that if the judges in the debate are all against you (yes, the congress belongs to Chavez's allies only) there's no point, they always favour the other part while they keep repeating how imperialists, coup mongers and manipulated we are, and how this is a social class fight (while we try to be inclusive in our fight, and there are poor and rich, black and white together in this protest) the way Chavez and his minions always do; what they prepared in the congress was a circus practically, and we would had been even more bashed , that why the best thing to do was to leave that assembly... and debate on more neutral grounds.
And thanks for the good wishes, I indeed am trying to keep up on studies, though I'm thinking of switching careers. In any case this is also about our professional future, because Chavez also wants to intervene in the superior education system, trying to force his ideology on it

as my forum name may imply I am a communist. I find it extremly dissapointing that all these countries call themself communist as well, but I doubt that Chavez ever read the manifesto, and if he did he did not understand it, or more likly did not care. He is pushing people further into poverty rather than pulling them out, the exact opposite of Marx's plan. The manifesto supports free elections, where are they, it does not support dictatorship. The systems that now call themself communist are trully just capitalism with extreme taxes, this is not how it was ment to be.
Cavez, You are the bourgoise, you are the pig. And they could not tell the diffrence between the pigs and the farmers.

Your entire post implies that you’re in a good frame of mind. As the worst case scenario, it shows that assigning the Manifesto for the summer reading program is a bad idea.

Certainly there was no pure communism anywhere as far as I know; often the ones in power were the capitalists; how can that be if they're all supposed to be equal?. It's also a paradox that the chavecists (functionaries and benefactors) are the new oligarchy and they are the ones who constantly bash oligarcs

I read the manifesto of on my own, the school was not involved.
Under true communism the workers elect a council of leaders, those leaders are still expected to work. Anyone who does not do work dosn't get to vote. The workers can withdraw a leader at any time, and as there is no army except the militia of the workers there is nothing that the council can do to stop them. You are free to not be a communist and not support the system, but in doing so you are saying that the system does not need to support you ither, and because there is no tecnical government there is no one to get upset and feel the need to kill you.
This is a form of communism known as libretarian or council communism, it was a movement that was gaining strength before the revolution in russia, but the offitial party wiped it out.
P.S. the revolution has not occured yet! there are sertain prerequisites that need to be met first, one being that the country that adopts the system should already be powerfull and not a dump in the first place. The countries that thought they were products of the revolution have mainly been decades behind and poor as dirt.
