Re: [Marxism] WSJ: Cuba Libre: Cuba Says It Has More Oil Thanthe U.S.

["S. Artesian" <sartesian@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Walter,

You are about as dishonest a person as I have run across and that includes 
the CEOS, investment bankers, financial advisors, hedge-fund managers it has 
been my displeasure to know.

The headline you were flogging was that Cuba was the proud owner of oil 
reserves in excess of the US oil reserves.  That is not the case.  But as I 
said, god forbid you should ever put down your pom-poms and actually 
investigate something for yourself.

Now you want to change your flogged claim to "more reserves per capita." 
How charming.  But so what?  Unless of course you think more overproduction 
on the world markets  is going to solve Cuba's problems-- just as I'm sure 
it will solve Bolivia's, Venezuela's, Brazil's, Vietnam's, etc.

And from oil reserves, why it's just a short step to--- the US presidential 
election, which is another great opportunity for Cuba, isn't it?

But you are right on one thing-- I do think that  there is no essential, 
class, difference between the Republican and Democrat parties.    That's why 
I focused on the simple factual error you reproduced, as you always do, 
uncritically-- and now, as you always do, dishonestly.
