Re: [Marxism] On Walter and Cubaphilia

"Guerrillas do not a workers' revolution or a workers' state make.  Period... 
For it to have been a workers' revolution it would have required the creation 
of formal institutions of working-class rule, such as existed in the Paris 
Commune or the Russian Revolution—real decision-making bodies directly elected 
and subject to instant recall."

Ahh, nothing like rigid schema.

Paraphrasing Che: "Either Marxism or a caricature of Marxism." I leave the 
reader to figure out where I place statements like the one above.

And, by the way, Courtney Smith needs to become a lot more familiar with the 
Cuban electoral system.
