Fidel, Fidel ...



Fidel:

and artists?

> Revolution,no rights at all.

Reminds me of the famous Peron's slogan:

"For friends of the movement, everything; for enemies,
not even justice."

And who defines, limits and legislate what "the
revolution" is in Cuba if not the bureacracy, the
state council and the party?

"No rights at all" for those "outside" de decreed
limits of the established definition of revolution?
This is so absurd ...

The most the party -- not even the state-- has as a
right to do with those outside the realm of their
definition of the revolution is the purging of those
after they exercise their clear right to say whatever
they want. But after being purged they mantain their
social rights - exactly the same than everyone else.

If is about arts and artists, the party should not
even judge their work or have an opinion about other
than process the normal commentary.

Please fellow travelers, apologists and sincere road
runners of Fidel, stop posting these painful forms of
superficiality. If you wish to promote Fidelismo,
fine.

But at least choose some more interesting and funny
stuff. Fidel has some of that and doesn't need of your
posting of this stuff foollowed by extensive
apologetic essays about the gradiose nature of such
rubbish.

For example, try something: post speeches made by
Castro 20, 30 years ago. They were SO MUCH better.

The speech quoted above could very well had been
delivered by Kruschev, Breshnev or Gorbachev before
the perestroika.

In fact, if I had the time to research, I'm pretty
sure I could unearth some very similar speeches from
the Soviet Union.

C'mon, try something more original. It's not THAT
hard.

Sincerely, always having your best interest in mind.
