[Marxism] Juventud Rebelde on "Graying Cuba"

[S. Artesian]

Walter,

Don't you read these things before you post them?  How could you avoid the content, intent of this article which is not all that different from the articles pointing out the "precarious"  "insupportable" position of the US Social Security System, given the aging of the population, the shrinking numbers of production workers required to produce the commodities of capitalism?

Besides the fact that the paragraphs are repeated in the body of the article, the article parrots and reproduces the aging "hysteria" that bourgeois sociologists, census takers, demographers, use to excuse and justify reducing medicaid benefits etc. in the US.

The problem is not and will not be that people are living too long in Cuba, or anywhere, and reproducing too slowly, but that international capitalism debases everything that doesn't yield enough value quickly enough.. always starting and ending with human life.
