"n5667" Do you know anything about Che Guavara and the Cuban revolution?

The Cuban revolution overthrew the U.S. backed Batista dictatorship. Batista's torturers were executed with stadiums as the juries. Blacks were allowed to go to the beaches on an Island that had not previously allowed it. U.S. corporations were nationalized with the profits of those enterprises going to human needs such as education, healthcare, and food. Abortion is provided free and on demand. Agriculture is done organically. Cuban troops helped defeat South Africa in Angola thus paving the way for the defeat of Apartheid in South Africa. Cuban doctors have been sent around the world. Many other gains were made by the Cuban revolution as well.

I advocate a more democratic socialist system, but Cuba is still a shining example of much of what socialism can achieve, even on a small island underdeveloped by imperialism.

Perhaps my version of revolution will not succeed, but I stated a simple truth when I said, "The public will only be empowered to discipline these so-called public servants with the revolution. One of the reasons being is that they are not getting out of line when they abuse us, they are only following orders."

Likewise the growing inability of capitalism to meet human needs will not be solved under this system, and “danielsan� is right on track by not letting the local pseudo-progressives off the hook.
