The road to revolution is a very straight and narrow path. the
boundaries, which must never be crossed are:

On the left, Cuba. Stray off the path and you are an ultraleft critic,
who must be criticised by multiple repetition of some cheesy line at the
bottom of a post by some guy called Elvitz Pretzel in Disneylandia,
whatever we're supposed to take from that.

On the right, the boundary is in a PLA run sweatshop somewhere in
China . . .

It is kind of sad because Walter's knowledge of and solidarity with Cuba
are, well, legendary.
Cheers,
