I agree DavidAll. I just find people who exhort others to enjoy life under some dictatorship or another while living themselves under the very system they excoriate particularly funny.

That is understandable Bruno Mota, since Brazil, unlike Cuba, has never known the “blessings” of communism.

A guy who spent a lot of time researching education in Cuba and Brazil once told me that Cuban high school teachers were usually better trained and better motivated that their Brazilian counterparts (at least in the state sector). He also added that communism in general and the Cuban regime in particular were far more popular in the latter group than in the former.

It is in Cuba, because they are under threat from from a superpower which after having lost its grip in 1959 has spent the next 50 years engaged in terrorism, invasion, destabilisation and economic embargo.

So Cuba’s no different from Hoxha’s Albania then. Or, if you believed them, the East Germans. I knew the “anti-fascist protection wall” had to have some purpose.

terrorism, invasion, destabilisation and economic embargo.

‘Anti-imperialists’ are, of course, very much in favour of all of these things when it comes to countries, democracies included, which they don’t like.

Zin is not dilusional, he has simply lost all touch with reality.

Being on the payroll of a foreign government, even the Iranian government, is not an offence in Britain or the States

Zin should be included in the dictionary as an example of the word dillusional.

No opposition poured into the streets of Pyongyang when the Great Leader died. Therefore they must have been quite happy with the regime.

Anyway Noah handles the North Korea PR, Zin is in head apologist and bootlicker for Cuba and Venezuela. Lets not mix up the accounts.

Castro made his health system the envy of the world just with a Sandpiper’s eight track cassette and revolutionary fervour! His doctors brought the miracle drug Aspirino to the Angola bush, so there!
