This is silly. The Spanish Social Democracy is pretty god-damned rotten. It
got voted out of power because it was carrying out a neoliberal economic
program, just like fellow Social Democrat Mitterand carried out in France.
It has also been just as dead set against the rights of the Basques as the
Popular Front was in the 1930s. Just because Fidel Castro says something as
a head of state, there is no reason for us to tail-end him. He has somewhat
different needs than we do. It is not as if what he is saying is wrong, it
is just not sharp enough.
