Above line from Yoshie's forward stands out amidst lbo blather about
Castro and Cuba...
Two most significant features of Cuban political system are grassroots
organizations: Committees to Defend the Revolution (CDR) that perfor
defense, education, and community functions *and* Organs of Popular
Power (OPP), elected assemblies designed to make party and national
government responsive to local needs. Michael Hoover

CB: Yes, this is important instiutional evidence of Cuba's popular sovereignty
, the
number one touchstone of democracy. The CDR are close to direct democratic ,
i.e. not
republican, forms.
