Re: [Marxism] NYT: From the Cuban Underground, a Punk Rocker’s Protest Reverberates,

[David Walters <davidw@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

While certainly Cuba deserves the *usual* praise for being an organized 
society that can take care of the members of that society, I'm not sure 
to what end the *kind* of praise Walter insists on helps in any sort of 
discussion of this kind of list.

The article in question, however, is an article that makes Cuba look 
bad, regardless of the cultural (maybe) weirdness of this person, Gorki, 
in question. Anyone who reads this article will wonder why the Cuban 
gov't would even want to throw him in jail. It would raise the question 
about what it is about the sub-culture this punk rocker is in that it is 
such a threat to the Cuban Revolution, or for that matter, why these 
young people have to hold concerts..."concerts" (are they really 
organizing meetings to sabotage the Revolution?...to organize praise for 
the Yankee Imperialists?) underground and outside official venues?

Of course everything in this NYTimes article could a lie, too. All made up.

David
