The fall of the SU was the greatest defeat of the proletariat the
globe over.  It meant death and decadence to the Soviet peoples. It
brought to power a clique of murderous sepoys. Eventually, it brougth
to power a clan of Intelligence Service officials whose single
interest is to create a working Russian Capitalism and to restore the
dignity of Russia on the global scenario.

This said, I think it quite interesting to debate whether it was good
or bad, in the long run, that the former Soviet presence in Cuba has
disappeared, and whether the ellimination of the Lourdes facility was
or was not useful for the Cuban masses.

More interesting, indeed, than still another Requiem for the First
Great Experiment in the Struggle of Humankind from Barbarity to
Socialism. Because it is not this kind of contributions that will help
us ahead.

I think that the consequences of the death of the fSU on each and
every scenario the globe over are today the most important reflection
for a socialist.

We all know what was lost. What we must debate now is what do we have,
and how shall we proceed.
