[Marxism] The stench of Democratic Party politics

[Walter Lippmann]

Reflections by the Commander in Chief
SUBMISSION TO IMPERIAL POLITICS
[excerpt]

Clinton was really kind when we informally crossed paths at a UN
meeting attended by many heads of state. Moreover, he was friendly,
as well as intelligent, in demanding adherence to the law in the case
of the kidnapped boy, when he was rescued by special federal agents
sent from Washington.

The candidates are now immersed in the Florida adventure: Hillary,
the Clinton successor; Obama, the popular African American candidate
and several of the other 16 who, up until the present, have proposed
their candidacy in both parties, with the exception of Republican
Congressman Ronald Ernest Paul and the former Democratic Senator from
Alaska, Maurice Robert Gravel, and the other three Democrats Dennis
Kucinich, Christopher Dodd and Bill Richardson.

I don’t know what Carter said during his race to the White House.
Whatever his position was, I was right when I guessed that his
election could avoid a holocaust for the people of Panama, and that
is just what I said to Torrijos. He established the U.S. Interests
Section in Cuba and promoted an agreement about jurisdictional
maritime limits. The circumstances surrounding his term prevented him
from taking things any further and, in my opinion he embarked on
several imperial adventures.

Today, talk is about the seemingly invincible ticket that might be
created with Hillary for President and Obama for Vice President. Both
of them feel the sacred duty of demanding “a democratic government in
Cuba”. They are not making politics: they are playing a game of cards
on a Sunday afternoon.

The media declares that this would be essential, unless Gore decides
to run. I don’t think he will do so; better than anyone, he knows
about the kind of catastrophe that awaits humanity if it continues
along its current course. When he was a candidate, he of course
committed the error of yearning for “a democratic Cuba”.

Enough of tales and nostalgia. This is written simply to increase the
conscience of the Cuban people.

MARK LAUSE inquired
Did Fidel say something complimentary about Obama or something?
