Thanks
for your time, back to regular programming now.
Have
these people any shame?
Week
after week, year after year, regardless of his human rights atrocities,
the Green Left are still blowing
the Cuban tyrant:
we
are told that ‘‘those caught speaking out against the ailing
dictator run the risk of death’‘. Yet nowhere in the six
pages of shock-horror sensationalism that follows about the alleged
‘‘show trials’‘ in May 2003 of 75 so-called
dissidents (in reality, paid agents of the US government) and the hardships
of daily life in Cuba is there even a shred of evidence presented to
justify the slander that Cuba executes people because they speak out
against the government.
[...]
Cuba’s
achievements are becoming more well-known among young people. Maybe
Cuba, its music and its heroes, is seeing a resurgence of hip-ness in
Western youth culture.
[...]
the
world’s imperialist powers, chief among them the US, have tried
to destroy the revolutionary government in Cuba, in order to replace
it with one that will understand that the world’s poor countries
should be at the mercy of the world’s richest corporations. This
has involved a systematic propaganda effort to downplay the gains of
the revolution, and paint the island as a terrifyingly repressive dictatorship.
The
real Cuba, while far from a paradise, is light years away from the grim
caricature painted by the capitalist media. Whatever hardships its people
have had to endure, Cuba is living proof that a people-centred economy
and society is possible, that there is hope. It’s this subversive
hope, the dream of billions of exploited and downtrodden people across
the planet, that imperialism’s hired scribes are desperately trying
to kill off.
[...]
The
only notable instance of social unrest, a rock-throwing rampage through
Old Havana in August 1994 by a few hundred disillusioned people urged
on by counter-revolutionary provocateurs, was met with a spontaneous
counter-mobilisation of local residents and construction workers from
nearby building sites. When Castro heard about the riot and arrived
at the scene of the standoff, he instructed his security detail to put
away their weapons and engaged in a dialogue with the protesters, at
the end of which the rioters, who only hours earlier had been shouting
anti-government slogans, broke into chants of “Viva Fidel!”
and the crowd dispersed.
The
way this incident was resolved — through the force of persuasion
rather than the persuasion of force — is revealing. How many times
have we heard that Cuba is a dictatorship held together by fear, repression
and the diabolical personality of Fidel Castro?
Indeed,
how many times have we heard that? Those ungateful political
prisoners and refugees must have been making shit up.
Fucking
commie scum. Where's Pinochet when we need him?
Idiots
in Montreal
Quebec
joins the worldwide
asshole protest movement.
