Here we go again . . .

In all the time I've been on this list, I've never noticed Louis Proyect
being opposed to the Cuban revolution, wanting Cuba to stay poor, or
wanting it quarantined from contact with the USA. Walter, I know I've
asked you this before, but show me some evidence. Not evidence of people
criticising China, Russia, South Africa, Spain or some other capitalist
country that happens to have good relations with Cuba. Evidence of
someone actually wanting Cubans to stay poor but pure. Otherwise, it's
just what I think it is, a mantra that makes you feel good.
Cheers,
John
