Look what happens in the UK when one party leader makes the slightest deviation from the ruling class consensus.

 

I don't think we can afford to be smug about the failings of other democracies.

 

 

There is a difference between smug and a bare minimum. In any country I'd ask myself 3 questions, am I free to come and go, can I vote to throw out the government and does the guy in power walk around in military uniform. If the answer is no-no-yes, chances are, I don't live in a democracy.

I was talking to the oppressed yesterday over a nice bowl of gruel

Did you ask for more?

[polymerpunkah]

I wonder how many people the US and it's willing allies have killed since 1959?

 

Since 2000?

Who are Sleeper?

 

Was Fidel in a band?

[Bjornebye]

Who are Sleeper?

 

Was Fidel in a band?

Yeah the fiddlers

[polymerpunkah]

A one man band.

 

Cymbals between his knees, the whole nine yards.

 

He killed.

[magicrat]

Certain irony about the fact he died on Black Friday

[SasaS]

Žižek not being on message by showing lack of enthusiasm for Fidel.

Still not as bad as Sleeper's records

Regressive left.

The way this year's going with Castro popping his cloggs Hugh Heffner will probably not see the year out.

Yeah, I heard Hefner ruled the Playboy Mansion with an iron fist.

Hugh put the dic in dictator. He put the dic in a lot of things. What a life.

[Evelyn Tentions]

Nationalizing the companies run by the multinationals who had been systematically looting Cuba and paying compensation based on their previous tax returns was a masterstroke but caused the anti Castro backlash by the USA.

Imagine if May nationalized Apple UK and paid compensation based on their UK tax returns.

Vale, Jefe.

¡Hasta la victoria siempre!

I'm off to Cuba in January stopping in b&b's and travelling about on buses. Thanks Ms Red.

AKA people's front rooms opened up to tourists.  Amazing trip.

[VladimirIlyich]

Fuck off Code.

And cheap!

I love Cuba. The people who I met were all so nice and welcoming.

 

Would be nice to see the general standard of living raised somehow without surrendering to the multinationals.

 

Only thing I regret is not visiting the hospital after getting thrown off a horse and injuring my ribs. The standard of healthcare is supposed to be very high.

 

Instead I suffered through until I got home. Would have been nice to at least have some painkillers for the flight home.
